Description
Command
serve
Is this a regression?
- Kinda, as the
externalPackagesPluginwas just added via https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/pull/26923
The previous version in which this bug was not present was
Before https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/pull/26923 existed, which was part of 17.1.1, so I guess angular 17.1.0
Description
angular 17.2.0
vite/esbuild powered application builder
Using the loader option in angular.json like:
"loader": { ".webp": "file", ".svg": "text" },
to support images as ecmascript imports or svgs as inline. This causes angular-cli to add the externalPackagesPlugin which is a giant hit on build performance. For our apps:
| angular version | watch rebuild time | note |
|---|---|---|
angular 17.1.0 { "loader": { ".webp": "file" } } |
0.8 seconds |
|
{ "loader": { ".webp": "file" } } |
6.0 seconds |
|
{ "loader": { ".webp": "file" } } |
6.0 seconds |
|
angular 19.2.1 { "loader": { ".webp": "file" } } |
0.8 seconds |
<- file doesn't regress anymore |
angular 19.2.1 { "loader": { ".svg": "text" } } |
6.0 seconds |
<- text still does |
Those additional 5.2 seconds are also added to the initial build.
My rough idea of the issue is, that the externalPackagesPlugin looks at every single import that doesn't start with . or / and doesn't cache the results. So tons of @angular/..., rxjs, @ngrx/... and similar imports are resolved over and over again. Even if this function only needs 2ms to run, this quickly adds up.
Minimal Reproduction
https://github.com/sod/ng-serve-external-deps-slowdown
The only difference between the development and development-slow configurations in the angular.json are:
"development": {
},
"development-slow": {
"loader": {
".svg": "text"
}
},
