Research direction

Start with the reported webpack bundle-size report and the partial-import example in the issue. Inspect how the SoundCloud SDK is packaged and how webpack handles the named imports. Done means identifying a supported way to produce a smaller bundle, with a measurable reduction from the reported 406ko baseline.

Description

Hello there,

Here is my webpack bundle size report, and as you can see, the Soundcloud SDK is pretty big (406ko!):

I tried partial imports, but it doesn't change anything:

import { initialize, get, stream, resolve } from "soundcloud";

Any ideas to reduce it?

Thanks!
