This plugin is a (very rough) port of the import-cost plugin for Visual Studio Code. In a nutshell, it calculates the bundle size for each import statement or require calls. Thanks to Neovim's virtual text feature, this plugin can show the calculated size next to the import statements, with a fallback to showing the calculated size in a scratch buffer.

This plugin exposes commands that allows you to calculate the package's size on demand. By default it'll try to use Neovim's virtual text feature.

This plugin uses the import-cost module (also part of the original import-cost plugin) that uses webpack to calculate the size of the imported module.

You can find more information about how the size calculation process works in this blog post.

Use your favorite plugin manager to install this plugin. Make sure to have node (>= 8) and npm both installed and available in your $PATH.

Plug 'yardnsm/vim-import-cost', { 'do': 'npm install --production' }

If you're installing the plugin in different way, make sure to run npm install in the root path of the plugin directory, so the required dependencies will be installed.

You can initiate the plugin by demand; it does not offer any automatic calculation out of the box.

• Use the :ImportCost command when inside a JavaScript / TypeScript buffer. This commands also support ranges, so you can initiate it from VISUAL mode.
• Use the :ImportCostSingle command if you wish to process the current line only.
• Use the :ImportCostClear command to clear the virtual text set by the plugin.

Find the available configuration methods in the plugin's help file.

:help import_cost

You can all the :ImportCost command within an autocmd, so it can be triggered when the buffer is updated. This is not recommended to use when the virtual text feature is not supported.

" Put this in your .vimrc
augroup import_cost_auto_run
  autocmd!
  autocmd InsertLeave *.js,*.jsx,*.ts,*.tsx ImportCost
  autocmd BufEnter *.js,*.jsx,*.ts,*.tsx ImportCost
  autocmd CursorHold *.js,*.jsx,*.ts,*.tsx ImportCost
augroup END
