publish compressed files ?

[rom1504]

it would reduce the size of nmd package on disk
decompression cost at run time would probably be minimal

minecraft-data now takes up over 145MB of space (149360KB) on disk when installed. A way to easily shrink this size without any extra code would be to minify the JSON data before publishing to npm. (Remove the extra new lines that make it human read-able.) This alone shrinks it down to around 115MB (116788KB) Using an actual compression on top of this would be an improvement as well.

Files are already published compressed. Npm does that by default Is your goal to decrease your local node modules space use ?

Thats what I assumed this issue was about, was just giving my input.

Yep, that was the original idea of the issue: PrismarineJS/node-minecraft-protocol#978 (comment)

Ah right, forgot I had opened this

[rom1504]

https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-stream-zip

• One big zip should be pretty good here

[extremeheat]

Yeah, publishing a zip seems to be best. node-stream-zip doesn't support sync but it seems https://github.com/cthackers/adm-zip does.

If anyone wants to do it the API seems simple to use also.

[rom1504]

Another way would be to compress file independently. Kind of same as zip really

Would just need to try out when to run this, eg pre publish post install etc and see loading time and if that breaks web

tried there #346
