Tree Shaking Issue: Unused Code in the payload #138
Description
Hey there, 👋
I was benchmarking the website I built using this library with the official demo, and it came to my understanding that the tree-shaking result seems to be off.
Here's the unused css file loaded in the package demo site
Notice we don't have the code section in the home page
The main reason appears to be the way components are imported into the generated code. ATM everything is imported eagerly (import * from...) from the transformer file, which confuses Vite and prevents it from optimizing the bundle size effectively. This means the payload sent to the user (both CSS and JS) is larger than it needs to be, containing unused code.
Here the code generated by transformer
<script context="module">
export const frontmatter = { title: 'Home' };
</script>
<script>
import * as INTERNAL__TAGS from '../lib/Tags.svelte';
import * as INTERNAL__NODES from '../lib/Nodes.svelte';
import INTERNAL__LAYOUT from '../lib/layouts/Default.svelte';
</script>
<INTERNAL__LAYOUT {...frontmatter}

>Notice we use the import * there.
I was thinking 🤔, we should first travel the whole examining document first to see all the possible outcomes for both imported tags and nodes. And then from the result we got back, we can identify which nodes and tags should be imported individually instead of using the import * from....
It should be like this:
<script>
import {Matrix_Item} from '../lib/Tags.svelte';
import {Heading as INTERNAL_NODES.Heading } from '../lib/Nodes.svelte'; // Or we can use aliases
import INTERNAL__LAYOUT from '../lib/layouts/Default.svelte';
</script>What do you think?
