I'm trying to enhance my tree shaking skills with web pack:
After reading documentation regarding webpack treeshaking, and in particular the side effect flag (that can be used in package.json to tell wether a lib has side effect free or not), I ended up with the following question:
Why is this side effect notion only "configurable" at the package level , and not at the (es6) module level ?
I mean: is webpack smart enough to know automatically if an es6 module has side effect ? In which case it shouldn't be tree shaked ?
Thanks !
