ant design - huge imports

Question

I'm using ant design library for my react application.

And I've faced with huge imports, that hurts my bundle (currently 1.1 mb in minified version because of ant-design lib).

How can I differently import antd components through all my app?

UPDATE:

Seems antd has some huge or non optimized modules. Here the thing - only difference is import Datepicker module, and.. boom! + almost 2MB (in dev bundle ofc.)

Answer 1

UPD: the underlying issue seems to be resolved for the new (4.0) version of antd.
Therefore, if you try to resolve this issue for the earlier versions, the recommended way is to migrate onto antd 4

Previous answer:

At the moment, a huge part of antd dist is SVG icons.
There is no official way to deal with it yet (check the issue on github).

But a workaround exists.

1. Adapt webpack to resolve icons differently. In your webpack config:

module.exports = {
  //...
  resolve: {
    alias: {
      "@ant-design/icons/lib/dist$": path.resolve(__dirname, "./src/icons.js")
    }
  }
};

2. Create icons.js in the folder src/ or wherever you want it. Be sure it matches the alias path!
   In this file you define which icons antd should include.

export {
  default as DownOutline
} from "@ant-design/icons/lib/outline/DownOutline";

It's also possible to do this with react-app-rewire (create-react-app modifications) within config-overwrites.js
