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
• Text-Encoding-UTF-8
  • used by the ExportService for "Export to File" feature.

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]'
    };
};
