# 🧙‍♂️ bundle-wizard

[![npm version](https://badge.fury.io/js/bundle-wizard.svg)](https://badge.fury.io/js/bundle-wizard)

This command line utility makes it simple to create visualizations of the JS bundles that were fetched for any specific page (or "entry point") of a web app.

## Example

`npx bundle-wizard reddit.com`

<a href="https://bundle-wizard.netlify.app/">
<img src="./reddit-mobile-analysis.png" alt="bundle-wizard interaction showing code for reddit">
</a>

[Check out a live demo of this visualization](https://bundle-wizard-spectrum.netlify.app/)

## Try it out on a production app:

Try any of the following commands to take a peek at the JavaScript code different sites are shipping:

1. `npx bundle-wizard reddit.com`
2. `npx bundle-wizard codesandbox.io`
3. `npx bundle-wizard gatsbyjs.org`
4. `npx bundle-wizard codecademy.com`
5. `npx bundle-wizard id.atlassian.com`

## Try it out on an app running locally:

Want to use bundle-wizard but haven't deployed your app yet? It's as easy as:

#### 1. Build your app locally

e.g. `npm run build`

#### 2. Serve the build folder

e.g. `npx serve -s build`

#### 3. Call bundle-wizard with the correct localhost url

e.g. `npx bundle-wizard localhost:5000/sign-up`

## Additional features

### View source code

If sourcemaps are properly configured you should be able to click on a square to see the code it represents:

(Note: for performance reasons, this functionality will be automatically stripped if you decide to package your bundle-wizard files in order to host or share them).

### Filter bundles with regex

Want to know all the bundles that contain code from certain library (say, `momentjs` or `lodash`)? Wondering how much weight in your bundles is from `node_modules` vs custom code? You can answer questions like these by putting a search string or regex into the bottom search bar that allows you to filter the view based on the name of the containing folder bundle name, or script:

## Optional command line arguments

### `url` (initial argument)

To skip the initial prompt, provide a url as a first argument:

`npx bundle-wizard reddit.com`

### `interact` flag

If you need to do some work in the browser getting the page ready for analysis (perhaps by signing in and then visiting a certain page), use the following command:

`npx -p puppeteer -p bundle-wizard bundle-wizard --interact`

The persistent npm equivalent would be running:

`npm install -g puppeteer bundle-wizard`

`bundle-wizard --interact`

You might be wondering why you have to install puppeteer as a peer dependency to use the interact command. By default `bundle-wizard` uses `puppeteer-core`, which is faster to download than `puppeteer` because it doesn't come bundled with a version of chromium. Since the `--interact` command opens a browser in non-headless mode, unlike the default `bundle-wizard` command, it requires the full `puppeteer` package to work reliably.

After running this command and specifying a url, you will see a browser window that will pop up that you can interact with. When you are ready to proceed, type `y` into the console in respond to the waiting prompt to reload the page and start measuring performance.

**Note**: While this tool does not record any data, it's still recommended from a common sense perspective to enter login information only for test accounts.

### `desktop` flag

By default, `bundle-wizard` will analyze a mobile version of the site. To analyze the desktop version instead, pass the `--desktop` flag:

`npx bundle-wizard --desktop`

### `ignoreHTTPSErrors` flag

If you are running an HTTPS connection on localhost and want to test a local site, you'll need to use this setting to prevent self-signed certificate errors:

`npx bundle-wizard https://localhost:5000 --ignoreHTTPSErrors`

### `port` argument

By default, `bundle-wizard` will try to find an open port in the 3000 range. However, if you'd like it to run on a certain port, you can do so by passing in a value for `--port`:

`npx bundle-wizard https://localhost:3000 --port=4000`

## How it works

`bundle-wizard` uses [Puppeteer](https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer) to download a web page, measure performance, and examine the JavaScript it sends to the client. It then analyzes the code using the awesome [source-map-explorer](https://github.com/danvk/source-map-explorer) library and creates a custom visualization.

### Requirement: downloadable sourcemaps

This utility downloads sourcemaps from the url you provide. This requires the sourcemaps to be publically available, or at least available on your network. You might need to point to a testing instead of production build, for instance, as some apps disable sourcemaps in production.
