Exclude 3rd Party libs

Aurelia-Slickgrid includes a few 3rd party libraries for some Features/Services to work but in some cases you might never use certain feature(s). You could technically exclude these libraries if you never use them.

3rd party libraries

Here's a quick list (might not be up to date) of what libraries could be excluded if you are not using the associated Features/Services

• Flatpickr
  • used by the Inline Editor editor: date
• Multiple-Select
  • used by these Filters: filter: { type: FilterType.multipleSelect } or FilterType.singleSelect

How to exclude

CLI

For CLI, it should be fairly easy, just don't include the libraries that you don't want from the HOWTO Wiki - Aurelia-CLI from your aurelia.json file.

WebPack

Use the entry: { vendor [] } to include/exclude the libraries you care about. For example

const path = require('path');
const webpack = require('webpack');
const ExtractTextPlugin = require('extract-text-webpack-plugin');
const extractCSS = new ExtractTextPlugin('vendor.css');
const { AureliaPlugin } = require('aurelia-webpack-plugin');

module.exports = ({ prod } = {}) => {
  const isDevBuild = !prod;

  return [{
    stats: {
      modules: false
    },
    resolve: {
      extensions: ['.js']
    },
    // needed for jquery plugins
    externals: {
      jquery: 'jQuery'
    },
    module: {
      rules: [
      // all rules here...
     ]
    },
    entry: {
      vendor: [
        'aurelia-dialog',
        'aurelia-fetch-client',
        'aurelia-logging-console',
        'aurelia-router',
        'aurelia-value-converters',
        'aurelia-history-browser',
        'aurelia-pal-browser',
        'aurelia-polyfills',
        'aurelia-event-aggregator',

        // uncomment these if using OR 
        // include a variable with a flag that is set at build time
        //'aurelia-slickgrid/aurelia-slickgrid/assets/lib/multiple-select/multiple-select.js',
        // 'aurelia-slickgrid/aurelia-slickgrid/assets/lib/multiple-select/multiple-select.css',
        'aurelia-slickgrid',
        'bluebird',
        'bootstrap',
        'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css',
        'font-awesome/css/font-awesome.css',
        'jquery',
        'moment',
        'slickgrid'
      ]
    },
    output: {
      path: path.join(__dirname, 'wwwroot', 'dist'),
      publicPath: '',
      filename: '[name].js',
      library: '[name]_[hash]'
    };
};
