Javascript runs out of memory when making production build

[arshbhatti8]

When I try to build a prod version of my create-react-app using npm run build, I get the following error:

I tried to use the workaround suggested in https://github.com/plotly/react-plotly.js/issues/26#issuecomment-359925194

I inserted the preset in webpack.config.prod file, with { test: /\.js$/, use: 'ify-loader', }, { test: /\.js$/, use: 'transform-loader?plotly.js/tasks/compress_attributes.js', },

But it still runs out of memory when I do npm run build

Here's a sandbox for reference: https://codesandbox.io/s/381yjyn415

I've taken the liberty of adding all the dependencies that I use in my project.

Update: It builds fine when I use --max_old_space_size=8192, so 8 gigs to build the project and it takes ~2 mins. I think there should be a way to build it with memory set to default value.

I have the same issue and the above solution also helped me.

hello @arshbhatti8 , where I make that changes, or that's command ?

[arshbhatti8]

@hitesh171285 You can import from plotly.js like this :

var Plotly = require('plotly.js/lib/core');
Plotly.register([
require('plotly.js/lib/heatmap'),
require('plotly.js/lib/choropleth'),
require('plotly.js/lib/scattergeo')
]);

module.exports = Plotly;

and then you can import this Plotly object into your react component like:

import Plotly from "../../bundleMinifiers/plotly";
import createPlotlyComponent from "react-plotly.js/factory";

const Plot = createPlotlyComponent(Plotly);

This const Plot can be then used as a React Component like <Plot/> with appropriate props for whatever plot you intend to use.

This should reduce the size of the bundle to a lot less.

Same for me. Is it possible to exclude Plotly from BUILD? It's not only giving out of memory but also taking more than 10 minutes to build.
