# Info
2018-07-10 04:48:12 +08:00
This example illustrates webpack's algorithm for automatic deduplication using `optimization.splitChunks` .
2018-05-18 02:33:18 +08:00
2020-03-23 10:45:56 +08:00
This example application contains 7 pages, each importing 1-3 modules from the `node_modules` folder (vendor libs) and 0-3 modules from the `stuff` folder (application modules). In reality, an application is probably more complex, but the same mechanisms apply.
2018-05-18 02:33:18 +08:00
The following configuration is used:
2019-04-09 02:29:40 +08:00
- `optimization.splitChunks.chunks: "all"` - This opt-in into automatic splitting of initial chunks which is off by default
2020-03-23 10:45:56 +08:00
- `optimization.splitChunks.maxInitial/AsyncRequests: 20` - This opt-in into an HTTP2 optimized splitting mode by increasing the allowed amount of requests. The browser only supports 6 requests in parallel for HTTP1.1.
2018-05-18 02:33:18 +08:00
# Interpreting the result
2019-04-09 02:29:40 +08:00
- `pageA.js` the normal output files for the entrypoint `pageA`
2020-01-29 23:44:00 +08:00
- `vendors~pageD~pageE~pageF~pageG.js` vendor libs shared by these pages extracted into a separate output file when larger than the threshold in size
2019-04-09 02:29:40 +08:00
- `vendors~pageA.js` vendors only used by a single page but larger than the threshold in size
- `pageA~pageD~pageF.js` application modules shared by these pages and larger than the threshold in size
2018-05-18 02:33:18 +08:00
2020-03-23 10:45:56 +08:00
Here, the threshold is 40 bytes but by default (in a real application) 30kb.
2018-05-18 02:33:18 +08:00
2020-03-13 00:51:26 +08:00
Some modules are intentionally duplicated, i. e. `./stuff/s4.js` is shared by `pageA` and `pageC` , but it's the only shared module so no separate output file is created because it would be smaller than the threshold. A separate request (which comes with an overhead and worsen gzipping) is not worth the extra bytes.
2018-05-18 02:33:18 +08:00
2020-03-23 10:45:56 +08:00
Note: decreasing `maxInitial/AsyncRequest` will increase duplication further to reduce the number of requests. Duplication doesn't affect the initial page load, it only affects download size of navigations to other pages of the application.

## webpack.config.js
```
module.exports = {

pageB: "./pages/b",
pageC: "./pages/c",

pageE: "./pages/e",
pageF: "./pages/f",
pageG: "./pages/g"
},
optimization: {
splitChunks: {
chunks: "all",
maxInitialRequests: 20, // for HTTP2
maxAsyncRequests: 20, // for HTTP2
2018-07-10 04:48:12 +08:00
minSize: 40 // for example only: chosen to match 2 modules
2018-05-18 02:33:18 +08:00
// omit minSize in real use case to use the default of 30kb
}
}
};
```
