strategy for minimizing ext

[lkasdorf]

I must have missed the discussion somewhere, but what is the approach to take to minimize how much of ext you load?

F'rinstance if I know that I'm not going to be using grid, can I somehow not include it? What if all I need is Ext.Ajax?

All I see is ext-all and ext-core, and debug versions of each.

Maybe I can just comment out things in ext-all.js. In fact, maybe thats why everything is 1 line? So I can comment a class out and it will not parse the rest of the line, and load fast.

But then it could be tricky commenting out classes that are used by classed that you need.

Am I on to something here? Did I answer my own question?

Gracias, all

Build your own Ext: http://extjs.com/download/build

Or use JS Builder (http://code.google.com/p/js-builder/) to build only what you need.

Exactly what I was looking for- thanks. I tried the build your own- that is what I had in mind. That cut my size down about 3x.

Not looked into jsbuilder yet, but thx just the same.
