CKEditor5 Memory Issue with Angular SSR Build

[vindubeyama]

📝 Provide detailed reproduction steps (if any)

I have added ckeditor5 and ckditor5-angular packages to my Angular SSR project. I am When I try to build the code, the memory shoots up to 8-9GB.

I am using the following plugins

[ AccessibilityHelp, Alignment, Autoformat, AutoImage, AutoLink, Autosave, BlockQuote, Bold, CaseChange, Code, Essentials, FindAndReplace, FontBackgroundColor, FontColor, FontSize, GeneralHtmlSupport, Heading, Style, HorizontalLine, Indent, IndentBlock, Italic, List, ListProperties, Mention, Notification, PageBreak, Paragraph, PasteFromOffice, PasteFromOfficeEnhanced, PastePlainText, RemoveFormat, SelectAll, SlashCommand, SpecialCharacters, SpecialCharactersArrows, SpecialCharactersCurrency, SpecialCharactersEssentials, SpecialCharactersLatin, SpecialCharactersMathematical, SpecialCharactersText, Strikethrough, Subscript, Superscript, Table, TableCaption, TableCellProperties, TableColumnResize, TableOfContents, TableProperties, TableToolbar, Template, TextTransformation, Underline, Undo, WordCount ];

✔️ Expected result

The memory consumption by build process should not be high.

❌ Actual result

The memory consumption by build process is huge. It is directly proportional to the number of plugins used. The more the plugins, the more is the memory consumption

Hi @vindubeyama. I don't think it's a problem with CKEditor itself, since its size is not even close to that number. Even loading the entire CKEditor into a memory shouldn't cause this.

Please let us know what the memory usage is without CKEditor, and provide a minimally reproducible example that we can use to see this issue for ourselves.
