# lasso-optimizer
>A Babel CodeMod plugin that acts as a build / compile time optimizer for Lasso JS. Gives [Lasso JS](http://www.github.com/lasso-js/lasso) some extra arms.

## What is this?
- [Lasso JS](http://www.github.com/lasso-js/lasso) produces output bundles similar to the NODEJS common-js style syntax on the browser.
- This is an optimizer stage plugin & a Babel CodeMod for [Lasso JS](http://www.github.com/lasso-js/lasso), that is applied on the final aggregated output of [Lasso JS](http://www.github.com/lasso-js/lasso).
- It performs code transformations
- It cannot be used as a transform or as a usual JS plugin in the list of Lasso plugins

## Why is this needed?
- This plugin helps in further optimizing Lasso JS output bundles under certain conditions, while resolving modules, **require.resolve**, **require**, **conditional requires** & circular dependencies.
- Currrently, Lasso JS inlines the filepaths of modules like

```javascript
$_mod.def("/marko$4.17.3/components/runtime", function (require, exports, module, __filename, __dirname) {
const f_55 = require('/marko$4.17.3/components/index-browser.marko');
exports.a = 45;
exports.func = () => {};
module.exports = () => {

};
});
$_mod_gh_fe.remap("/marko$4.17.3/components", "/marko$4.17.3/components-browser.marko");
$_mod_gh_fe.installed("globalheaderfrontend$25.1.0", "marko", "4.17.3");
$_mod_gh_fe.remap("/marko$4.17.3/src/runtime/components/index", "/marko$4.17.3/src/runtime/components/index-browser");
```
- While they provide a mirror representation of your projects file system, this tends to be of an overhead & bloat for projects.
- Further, these are resolved on the browser by [Lasso Modules Client Side Run Time](https://github.com/lasso-js/lasso-modules-client) that performs a Node JS style module resolution.
- Inlined filepaths & the client side runtime take upto >30KB-200KB in your **ungzipped** output bundle & upto 5KB-20KB in your **gzipped** response.
- As JS parse times are impacted by bundle size bloats, this helps optimize the bundle for it.

## What does this do?
- This plugin applies an output transformation on the final aggregated code / bundle.
- It attempts to resolve all filepaths and module dependencies at build time
- It transform modules into simple function expressions

```javascript
$_mod.def("/marko$4.17.3/components/runtime", function (require, exports, module, __filename, __dirname) {
// code here
});
$_mod.run("/marko$4.17.3/components/runtime");
$_mod_gh_fe.remap("/marko$4.17.3/components", "/marko$4.17.3/components-browser.marko");
$_mod_gh_fe.installed("globalheaderfrontend$25.1.0", "marko", "4.17.3");
$_mod_gh_fe.main("/process$4.17.3", "src/runtime/components/index-browser");
```

to

```javascript
function __marko_4_17_3__components__runtime(require, exports, module, __filename, __dirname) {
/* __marko_4_17_3__components_index_browser__marko is already available in toplevel scope */
const f_55 = require(__marko_4_17_3__components_index_browser__marko);
exports.a = 45;
exports.func = () => {};
module.exports = () => {

};
}
run(__marko_4_17_3__components__runtime);
```
- The `.remap`, `.installed`, `.main`, `.run`, `.builtin`, `resolve`, `require`, `def` are all resolved at build / asset bundling phase.
- On the browser, the bundle doesn't have to resolve these anymore.
- By doing this, it gets rid of the [Lasso Modules Client Side Run Time](https://github.com/lasso-js/lasso-modules-client) & uses a miniature version of it.

## What do you get by doing this?
- All inline file paths are resolved before runtime.
- Check out the `/sample` folder for the input and output. The input is a bundle of size 404KB and copy paste the output bundle into https://try.terser.org/ with options as

```javascript
{
toplevel: true,
compress: {
toplevel: true
},
mangle: {
toplevel: true
},
output: {},
parse: {},
rename: {},
}
```
**The minified output will now be 250KB.**

## Usage
- This **cannot** be applied as `transform` in the Lasso config or be used as a **plugin**.
- This **cannot** also resolve **dynamic require calls** where the argument of require is not a **String** but an **identifier** resolved dynamically
- The following Lasso Config is a sample where the output would be bundled for production.
```json
{
"plugins": [
"lasso-less",
"lasso-autoprefixer",
"lasso-marko",
"lasso-minify-transpile-inline",
"rollup-plugin-lasso",
{
"plugin": "lasso-inline-slots",
"config": {
"inlineSlots": [
"inline"
]
}
}
],
"require": {
"lastSlot": "inline",
"transforms": [
"lasso-babel-env"
]
},
"outputDir": "static",
"minify": true,
"minifyInlineOnly": true,
"bundlingEnabled": true,
"resolveCssUrls": true,
"noConflict": "gh-fe",
"cacheProfile": "production"
}
```

Now, the above output would cause Lasso to dump the final minfied output bundled under
`${PROJECT_DIR}/static`.

```javascript

const { readFileSync, writeFileSync } = require('fs');
const { optimizeSingleSourceFile } = require('lasso-optimizer');
const code = readFileSync('static/my-awesome-bundle.js', 'utf8');
const result = optimizeSingleSourceFile(code);
writeFileSync('static/optimized-bundle.js', 'utf8');

// now proceed to upload to resource server.

```
