Tree shaking support

[gugu]

Summary

For people, who use a subset api Amplitude API loading the whole library is an overhead. We are optimizing the project to make login/registration pages very fast to load and amplitude (unminified, 200kb) currently has size of our whole UI library + React-DOM combined. The only functions we use are logEvent and setUserProperties

Motivations

Lots of libraries (like date-fns or lodash) allow to import specific functions instead of the whole large module

Hi there ! Are there any news on this? For the context, we have an npm package that uses amplitude-js to log events from our different front-end projects to our amplitude instance. So a fairly simple usage since we only need in fact the getInstance function. But currently it makes our project weight 233.72KB (16KB without amplitude-js).

Thank you for your response in advance!

Hi all, thanks for the suggestion. This is part of our roadmap and we are hoping to support this by early next year.
