Calculate addon sizes

Hey @kategengler 👋

I was curious about this issue because I think I've heard you talk about this before 🤔 is this the one where you were saying that you would need to have a base ember app and install the addon to and check the difference in asset sizes to be able to gather this data?

I'd be interested in helping out with this if it's something that would help you and has a "place" for it to go. Is there an example of an existing batch job that I could take a look at?

Hi @mansona, yes I've definitely spoken about this before and that is roughly the process but fortunately @lonelyghost is actively working on it.

[mansona]

oh that's amazing news 🎉 thanks for letting me know @kategengler 👍

Hey 👋 I had someone ask me today about asset size effects of addons and I wondered if there was any more progress on this?

I'm still interested in helping out if it would indeed be helpful 😄

Hi @mansona -- it might be a bit hard to notice, but we did this! The sizes are shown under dependencies on an addon for the ones we have data. @lonelyghost is going to make the addon's own size available on each addon's page (right now it is only visible on the dependency list from other addons).

One thing we could use help with is figuring out what this calculation looks like in an embroider world. Right now we use a new ember app, make a prod build, record asset sizes, add the addon, build a prod build, record the asset sizes and subtract.

Ha wow! That's pretty awesome 🎉 I would never have thought to look for it where you said 😂

As for the embroider world, I would imagine this will solve itself eventually no? Seeing as we're eventually going to have embroider as the default experience for new apps, whenever that happens your tooling that generates a new app and installs the addon will actually be generating an app with Embroider.

I guess we could show the comparison before then but that sounds complex 🙈

Embroider (and ember-auto-import v2) don't generate only App JS, Vendor JS, App CSS, etc (see https://github.com/ef4/ember-auto-import/blob/master/docs/upgrade-guide-2.0.md#inject-entry-chunks-directly-in-indexhtml), So, once ember-auto-import v2 is in the default new app, our modeling of the asset sizes will no longer be correct.
