When I started working on wappler nodejs project I used many wappler components. Soo, many component related scripts were loaded into the layout. Later, the project got many updates and most of the components were removed. But their scripts were not removed. So, Now I have many scripts loading in my layout which causes performance. I don’t know which scripts is needed and which is not.
So, is there any way to remove unncessary scripts ?
No, not automatically at the moment.
You need to remove the unused scripts manually.
How would I know which one to remove ? I don’t even know if I am using that component.
Each component adds its includes on the main page. You can remove the ones for the components which you are not using.
You mean the content page or layout page ?
The scripts are added on the main/layout page, in the head tags.
Can you maybe share a screenshot this ?
Is there a way to differentiate between the wappler scripts and our custom scripts.
Not sure what you mean? You know which scripts are yours, correct?
The scripts Wappler adds are located in the dmxAppConnect folder, so the path usually starts with dmxAppConnect/
All of them, right ? Including css and js.
Most of them, yes.
How should I figure out that which script I should remove ?
Just check which components included in the main page head tags you are not using on any of the content pages.
That’s the issue, I will have to go through each page and its code, just to figure out which component I am not using. Sometime, I might use a component it in other pages. So probably I will go thorgh some issue there.
Not sure if I’m correct but would it perhaps work to delete all and that Wappler automatically adds the scripts that are needed? As it adds it when you add the component
I tried it, but it doesn’t work. Some components like modal, repeat etc are missing from the content
