I checked the file-size of my ./node_modules folder and it seems that moment.js is the heaviest non-C library. 2.1MB is quite a lot. A quick look in the folder size shows:

Most of the weight comes from publishing compressed versions of moment.js with npm as well as double-publish all the locales. But the locales alone are quite heavy by themselves.

As such I thought it might be good for moment.js and the community to reduce this amount?!

• Would it be possible to omit the ./src folder from being published to npm?
• Would it be possible to omit the ./min folder from being published to npm?
• Would it be possible to move the ./locales folder into a separate npm package to reduce moment to the minimum?
