PCF control is too heavy?
If you are working on creating or planning to create a PowerApps component framework (PCF) control using React components and FluentUI/Office-fabric, it's crucial to keep an eye on the size of your control. A common mistake that beginners make is importing the whole libraries instead of just the relevant controls, leading to bulky controls. This issue is reported on Stack Overflow and has been documented by bloggers to increase awareness. To avoid this problem, you can import only the required controls in the index.tx file using granular imports, such as importing only button-related libraries.
Another important point to remember is to build in release mode instead of debug mode. Following these critical steps will save you a ton of size in bundle.js and solution. You can verify the file sizes in the out and bin folders. Check out the provided learning link for more information.
Make sure to follow these tips and tricks to optimize the size of your PCF control!
