tsbuildinfo v0.0.3

tsbuildinfo

Tool to debug slow build times by looking for large type definitions that may have been erroneously imported.

In some typescript projects AWS-SDK has been a very large source of typescript compile slowdowns. by switching form a base import to directly importing the s3 client the build times for one package went from 6 seconds down to 2 seconds.

// Bad
import * as AWS from 'aws-sdk';

// Good
import s3 from 'aws-sdk/clients/s3';

Usage

tsbuildinfo <Path to tsconfig.tsbuildinfo>

Example

Here is a repository that has a base import import * as AWS from 'aws-sdk'
