Wondering about bundle size

[TomFreudenberg]

Hi, after listening to your talk videos @fabian-hiller I wonder about your "QuickStart" examples.

Always you show code like:

import * as v from 'valibot';

Isn't that against what you are talking in your talk - "hold things small" and don't blurr apps?

Isn't there a difference in bundle size when using:

import { pipe, ... } from 'valibot';

Is this just to make examples easy or is this your best case suggestion?

Thanks for some feedback
Tom

Hi Tom, there is not difference in bundle size.

import * as v from 'valibot';
v.string();

Produces the exact same output as:

import { string } from 'valibot';
string();

Feel free to copy both snippets into bundlejs to verify it: https://bundlejs.com/

A wildcard import is treated as a static import. Therefore, it is fully tree-shakable. I usually recommend wildcard imports because they can provide a better DX through better auto-completion and suggestion support in various editors.

Hi @fabian-hiller thanks for fast response and answer - feels good to go ahead like that.
