Clean up after Component removal (good housekeeping)

[Cheese]

Would be great if Wappler carried out a cleanup after the removal of Components, their respective scripts and styles removed from the page or the layout, so as not to clutter the head with unnecessary files. Currently they sit around dormant despite the Component being removed. Which is not good practice as they really should be cleared up if not in use.

Votes appreciated! Thank you.

Cleanup js/css references to app connect components when they are removed

This request is to improve the removal of assets when all component instances are removed from a page. Currently, the JS and CSS added when you add a component are not removed when all component instances are removed.

I did look before leaping hahaha... Just bumped your request Keith. Does this make it 20 votes now..?

Oh my gorsh!
This would be amazing. I've tried so many 'test' things that i think my main is about explode with so many script lines.

Lets all pretend were whispering in @George ear while he sleeps....

While we wait .. does anybody have any idea how to remove modules not needed. I get really nervous doing so, but some of my pages are really bloated.

If i just try removing a mod, it gets added back or asks me its changed.

hmm, curious.

Script and css include files are auto added if you have any have component used on a page or it is listed in the top comment of content pages under the components attribute.

So if you clean both the used components list and includes, they won’t be added back again.

Brilliant !! That worked. T H A N K Y O U George!
I was very hesitant to mess with that - So with that said i can remove any unused tags from the main.ejs page? (this is the last question, promise! Until next year. )

Remove component js files when last component is removed

It would be great to remove automatically the script tags that include the js file for app connect components when the last of the html tags referencing the component is removed from the page. This is to avoid clutter and for the size of requests to increase without need.

@JonL - Its a conspiracy ! Dang it. Busted!

Naahh, it just shows great minds think alike

I did search extensively (although 'housekeeping' i don't recall searching for)

WAIT that was 5 years ago!?!?!?
Yikes. Im not sure what to say.

Just recently in the beta they added this one and it was from 6 years ago.

Merge App Structure and DOM views

Would it be possible for the tree to recognize all elements even if it doesn’t translate to a pre-defined Wappler element. I assume that you guys are working hard to try to add as many as possible. But sometimes there are so many custom options. I would be happy with just a generic node that allows minimum customization like id and class. Say I have a generic body(app) and and three nested divs inside the body like this. Body(app) -> Div(empty) -> Div(custom class) -> Div(Wappler container) …

Oh Wow!

So that's been a request for a while.

I've tried (albeit a bit scared) to remove 'modules' from the top and as many scripts i could but Wappler adds them back - I'm sure there is some project file that holds what has been used. My current project is just so cluttered with modules i don't use .. many i just 'tested' to see if it would work.

oh well, I'll keep my manic ramble to a minimum this time.
