Hi all! After a long wait I could finally enable the IR compiler on my project! After running the production webpack, the size of the resulting js file went down from 4.9MB to a whopping 4.3MB, which in fairness was a bit disappointing. I use the React-wrapper, Coroutines, Ktor, Kodein, is there any way to optimize the size?

Don't use Ktor client.

Also ES6 modules required to unlock webpack optimization

Root export will help too

IR output is pretty much unoptimized.
I’ve reduced the output a little by improving terser settings:

Ktor and Coroutines are hefty. Because I don’t need those on the index/home page I load them dynamically when a page is navigated to which depends on them.

Or a dialog opened which needs them.

@Marc Knaup Which effect do you have (bundle size percent)?

[Marc Knaup]

I can’t recall. Was a few months ago and a very messy path to get to these settings 😅
If I find time I could make a new comparison with the current project state.

Thank you guys for the answers! @Robert Jaros ktor is very much needed as I make use of KMP and I do not wish to implement different networking
