Import Cost Fast

Forked from wix/import-cost and rebuilt for performance.

Display the bundle size of imported packages inline in the editor — powered by esbuild and SWC.

Features

Import/Require Size

Shows the minified and gzipped size of every imported package inline, right next to the from clause:

  • import Func from 'utils'
  • import * as Utils from 'utils'
  • import { Func } from 'utils'
  • import { orig as alias } from 'utils'
  • import Func from 'utils/Func'
  • const Func = require('utils').Func
  • import('utils') (dynamic import)
  • Supports JavaScript, TypeScript, Vue, and Svelte
  • import type is correctly skipped (zero runtime cost)

Package.json Size (New in 4.1)

Open any package.json and see the bundle size of each dependency right next to the version:

"dependencies": {
    "@nestjs/common": "^10.0.0",     92 KB (gzipped: 24 KB)
    "express": "^4.18.0",            783 KB (gzipped: 261 KB)
}

Works for both dependencies and devDependencies.
