CanvasKit – Skia and WebAssembly

The NPM package doesn't list any dependencies:

https://github.com/google/skia/blob/master/modules/canvaskit...

I'm not saying you are wrong, but if the NPM package needed more stuff it would be in the package.json, no?

I'm more saying bundlephobia.com is wrong in that it doesn't appear to be including .wasm files at all.

If you just do an npm install of canvaskit-wasm you'll find a 6.4M canvaskit.wasm file. That'd have to be some insane gzip magic to bring that down to 50Kb.

If I gzip the entire canvaskit module (including the font files) I'm getting a size of 3.4M. If I just gzip the .wasm file I get a size of 2.4M.

Thanks for checking that out. You are right of course.
