Description

Currently, the library is heavy => more than 200 ko (because it comes with all available icons) whereas you might use only few of them.

What about an option to build (bower) the library :

  • either without any icon, the developper being responsible to declare the icons he wants with ngMdIconServiceProvider.addShapes
  • or with the expected icons only.

Research direction
Investigate the current build process (likely Grunt) to understand how SVG icons are bundled. Look at the ngMdIconServiceProvider to see how custom icons are added. Propose a solution to allow users to specify icons to include or exclude via a build option.
