import JsBarcode from 'jsbarcode/bin/barcodes/CODE128'
Is this really before any tree shaking has been made? I see a lot of things that should be automatically removed by webpack while compiling.
@lindell correct me if I am wrong but I don't believe dead code elimination is a silver bullet here. How would the code be be eliminated if all barcode types are loaded in the main file (see: https://github.com/lindell/JsBarcode/blob/master/src/JsBarcode.js)? That would require some serious introspection I doubt UglifyJS can actually do. I might be wrong, but from what I can see in the bundle that we're pulling through it it is still present afterwards.
Perhaps it would make sense to use a setup where one can load the different bar codes & renderers in a modular fashion?
I suppose the main part/api of the library should be rewritten to support tree shaking.
These are my findings, perhaps it would be good to check to be certain I am not operating on false assumptions.
