React build takes very long

[davidleomay]

Adding the bitbox02-api package to a React project (created with create-react-app) has drastically increased the build time, from under 2 minutes to 20-30 minutes (using a Github workflow).

Any ideas on how to speed up the build?

20-30 min is not reasonable. You can try to exclude bitbox02-api-go.js from being processed by minifiers, optimizers, and other tools.

What project are you working on? We are working on a new TypeScript/WASM library that may be a better fit.

Thanks for the quick response! We tried to exclude bitbox02-api-go.js but it seems like Webpack with Terser cannot exclude single source files. We're working on a Node.js TypeScript React project.

Cool, sounds good. Will the new library be available on npm?

[benma]

Yeah that is the plan. I hope we will get to it soon.

Very cool, looking forward!
