Dart2js Info
This package contains libraries and tools you can use to process info
files produced when running dart2js with --dump-info
.
The info files contain data about each element included in the output of your program. The data includes information such as:
- the size that each function adds to the
.dart.js
output, - dependencies between functions,
- how the code is clustered when using deferred libraries, and
- the declared and inferred type of each function argument.
All of this information can help you understand why some piece of code is included in your compiled application, and how far was dart2js able to understand your code. This data can help you make changes to improve the quality and size of your framework or app.
This package focuses on gathering libraries and tools that summarize all of that information. Bear in mind that even with all these tools, it is not trivial to isolate code-size issues. We just hope that these tools make things a bit easier.
Status
Currently, most tools available here can be used to analyze code-size and attribution of code-size to different parts of your app. With time, we hope to add more data to the info files, and include better tools to help understand the results of type inference.
This package is still in flux and we might make breaking changes at any time. Our current goal is not to provide a stable API, we mainly want to expose the functionality and iterate on it. We recommend that you pin a specific version of this package and update when needed.
Tools
All tools are provided as commands of a single command-line interface. To run:
$ dart bin/tools.dart <command> [arguments]
There is a short help available on the tool, and more details are provided below.
Format
Dart2js info files are produced in either a binary or JSON format.
Info API
This package also exposes libraries to parse and represent the information from the info files. If there is data that is stored in the info files but not exposed by one of our tools, you may be able to use the info APIs to quickly put together your own tool.
AllInfo exposes a Dart representation of all of the collected
information. There are deserialization libraries in this package to decode any
info file produced by the dart2js
--dump-info
option. See
lib/binary_serialization.dart
and lib/json_info_codec.dart
to find the
binary and JSON decoders respectively. For convenience,
package:dart2js_info/src/io.dart
also exposes a helper method that can choose,
depending on the extension of the info file, whether to deserialize it using the
binary or JSON decoder. For example:
import 'dart:convert';
import 'dart:io';
import 'package:dart2js_info/info.dart';
import 'package:dart2js_info/src/io.dart';
main(args) async {
var infoPath = args[0];
var info = await infoFromFile(infoPath);
...
}
Available tools
The following tools are a available today:
-
code_deps
: simple tool that can answer queries about the dependency between functions and fields in your program. Currently it only supports thesome_path
query, which shows a dependency path from one function to another. -
common
: a tool that reports the common elements of two info files. Commonality is determined by the element's name, file path, and URI but not code size. -
diff
: a tool that diffs two info files and reports which program elements have been added, removed, or changed size. This also tells which elements are no longer deferred or have become deferred. -
library_size
: a tool that shows how much code was attributed to each library. This tool is configurable so it can group data in many ways (e.g. to tally together all libraries that belong to a package, or all libraries that match certain name pattern). -
deferred_check
: a tool that verifies that code was split into deferred parts as expected. This tool takes a specification of the expected layout of code into deferred parts, and checks that the output fromdart2js
meets the specification. -
deferred_size
: a tool that gives a breakdown of the sizes of the deferred parts of the program. This can show how much of your total code size can be loaded deferred. -
deferred_layout
: a tool that reports which code is included on each output unit. -
function_size
: a tool that shows how much code was attributed to each function. This tool also uses dependency information to compute dominance and reachability data. This information can sometimes help determine how much savings could come if the function was not included in the program. -
coverage_server
andcoverage_analysis
: dart2js has an experimental feature to gather coverage data of your application. Thecoverage_log_server
can record this data, andlive_code_size_analysis
can correlate that with the info file, so you determine why code that is not used is being included in your app. -
convert
: a tool that converts info files from one format to another. Accepted inputs are JSON or the internal binary form, outputs can be JSON, backward-compatible JSON, binary, or protobuf schema (as defined ininfo.proto
). -
runtime_coverage
: dart2js has an experimental feature to gather runtime coverage data of your application. This tool correlates that with the info file and can output a package-level breakdown of which files were not used during the runtime of your app. -
show
: a tool that dumps info files in a readable text format.
Next we describe in detail how to use each of these tools.
Code deps tool
This command-line tool can be used to query for code dependencies. Currently
this tool only supports the some_path
query, which gives you the shortest path
for how one function depends on another.
Run this tool as follows:
$ dart bin/tools.dart code_deps some_path out.js.info.data main foo
The arguments to the query are regular expressions that can be used to select a single element in your program. If your regular expression is too general and has more than one match, this tool will pick the first match and ignore the rest. Regular expressions are matched against a fully qualified element name, which includes the library and class name (if any) that contains it. A typical qualified name is of this form:
libraryName::ClassName.elementName
If the name of a function your are looking for is unique enough, it might be sufficient to just write that name as your regular expression.
Common tool
This command-line tool shows common elements between two info files. It can be run as follows:
$ dart bin/tools.dart common old.js.info.data new.js.info.data
The tool gives a breakdown of the common elements between the two info files, reporting code size discrepancies if they exist. Here's an example output snippet:
COMMON ELEMENTS (455 common elements, 70334 bytes -> 70460 bytes)
========================================================================
dart:_foreign_helper::: 141 bytes
dart:_foreign_helper::JS_CONST: 141 bytes

Common elements are sorted by name by default but can be sorted by size with
the --order-by-size
flag. Additionally, the tool can be restricted to
just packages with the --packages-only
flag.
Diff tool
This command-line tool shows a diff between two info files. It can be run as follows:
$ dart bin/tools.dart diff old.js.info.data new.js.info.data [--summary]
The tool gives a breakdown of the difference between the two info files. Here's an example output:
total_size_difference -2688
total_added 0
total_removed 2321
total_size_changed -203
total_became_deferred 0

You can also pass --summary
to only show the summary section.
Library size split tool
This command-line tool shows the size distribution of generated code among libraries. It can be run as follows:
$ dart bin/tools.dart library_size out.js.info.data
Libraries can be grouped using regular expressions. You can
specify what regular expressions to use by providing a grouping.yaml
file
with the --grouping
flag:
$ dart bin/tools.dart library_size out.js.info.data --grouping grouping.yaml
The format of the grouping.yaml
file is as follows:
groups:
- { regexp: "package:(foo)/*.dart", name: "group name 1", cluster: 2}
- { regexp: "dart:.*", name: "group name 2", cluster: 3}
The file should include a single key groups
containing a list of group
specifications. Each group is specified by a map of 3 entries:
-
regexp
(required): a regexp used to match entries that belong to the group. -
name
(optional): the name given to this group in the output table. If omitted, the name is derived from the regexp as the match's group(1) or group(0) if no group was defined. When names are omitted the group specification implicitly defines several groups, one per observed name. -
cluster
(optional): a clustering index for how data is shown in a table. Groups with higher cluster indices are shown later in the table after a dividing line. If missing, the cluster index defaults to 0.
Here is an example configuration, with comments about what each entry does:
groups:
# This group shows the total size for all libraries that were loaded from
# file:// urls, it is shown in cluster #2, which happens to be the last
# cluster in this example before the totals are shown:
- name: "Loose files"
regexp: "file://.*"
cluster: 2
# This group shows the total size of all code loaded from packages:
- { name: "All packages", regexp: "package:.*", cluster: 2}
# This group shows the total size of all code loaded from core libraries:
- { name: "Core libs", regexp: "dart:.*", cluster: 2}
# This group shows the total size of all libraries in a single package. Here
# we omitted the `name` entry, instead we extract it from the regexp
# directly. In this case, the name will be the package-name portion of the
# package-url (determined by group(1) of the regexp).
- { regexp: "package:([^/]*)", cluster: 1}
# The next two groups match the entire library url as the name of the group.
- regexp: "package:.*"
- regexp: "dart:.*"
# If your code lives under /my/project/dir, this will match any file loaded
from a file:// url, and we use as a name the relative path to it.
- regexp: "file:///my/project/dir/(.*)"
Regardless of the grouping configuration, the tool will display the total code size attributed of all libraries, constants, and the program size.
Note: eventually you should expect all numbers to add up to the program
size. Currently dart2js's --dump-info
is not complete, so numbers for
bootstrapping code and lazy static initializers are missing.
Deferred library verification
This tool checks that the output from dart2js meets a given specification, given in a YAML file. It can be run as follows:
$ dart bin/tools.dart deferred_check out.js.info.data manifest.yaml
The format of the YAML file is:
main:
include:
- some_package
- other_package
exclude:
- some_other_package
foo:
include:
- foo
- bar
baz:
include:
- baz
- quux
exclude:
- zardoz
The YAML file consists of a list of declarations, one for each deferred part expected in the output. At least one of these parts must be named "main"; this is the main part that contains the program entrypoint. Each top-level part contains a list of package names that are expected to be contained in that part, a list of package names that are expected to be in another part, or both. For instance, in the example YAML above the part named "baz" is expected to contain the packages "baz" and "quux" and exclude the package "zardoz".
The names for parts given in the specification YAML file (besides "main")
are the same as the name given to the deferred import in the dart file. For
instance, if you have import 'package:foo/bar.dart' deferred as baz;
in your
dart file, then the corresponding name in the specification file is 'baz'.
Deferred library size tool
This tool gives a breakdown of all of the deferred code in the program by size. It can show how much of the total code size is deferred. It can be run as follows:
$ dart bin/tools.dart deferred_size out.js.info.data
The tool will output a table listing all of the deferred imports in the program as well as the "main" chunk, which is not deferred. The output looks like:
Size by library
------------------------------------------------
main 12345678
foo 7654321
bar 1234567
------------------------------------------------
Main chunk size 12345678
Deferred code size 8888888
Percent of code deferred 41.86%
Deferred library layout tool
This tool reports which code is included in each output unit. It can be run as follows:
$ dart bin/tools.dart deferred_layout out.js.info.data
The tool will output a table listing all of the deferred output units or chunks, for each unit it will list the set of libraries that contribute code to this unit. If a library contributes to more than one output unit, the tool lists which elements are in one or another output unit. For example, the output might look like this:
Output unit main:
loaded by default
contains:
- hello_world.dart
- dart:core
...
Output unit 2:
loaded by importing: [b]
contains:
- c.dart:
- function d
- b.dart
Output unit 1:
loaded by importing: [a]
contains:
- c.dart:
- function c
- a.dart
In this example, all the code of b.dart
after tree-shaking was included in the
output unit 2, but c.dart
was split between output unit 1 and output unit 2.
Function size analysis tool
This command-line tool presents how much each function contributes to the total code of your application. We use dependency information to compute dominance and reachability data as well.
When you run:
$ dart bin/tools.dart function_size out.js.info.data
the tool produces a table output with lots of entries. Here is an example entry with the corresponding table header:
--- Results per element (field or function) ---
element size dominated size reachable size Element identifier
...
275 0.01% 283426 13.97% 1506543 74.28% some.library.name::ClassName.myMethodName
Such entry means that the function myMethodName
uses 275 bytes, which is 0.01%
of the application. That function however calls other functions, which
transitively can include up to 74.28% of the application size. Of all those
reachable functions, some of them are reachable from other parts of the program,
but a subset are dominated by myMethodName
, that is, other parts of the
program starting from main
would first go through myMethodName
before
reaching those functions. In this example, that subset is 13.97% of the
application size. This means that if you somehow can remove your dependency on
myMethodName
, you will save at least that 13.97%, and possibly some more from
the reachable size, but how much of that we are not certain.
Coverage Server Analysis
Coverage information requires a bit more setup and work to get them running. The steps are as follows:
- Compile an app with dart2js using
--dump-info
and--experiment-call-instrumentation
$ dart2js --dump-info --experiment-call-instrumentation main.dart
The flag only works dart2js version 2.2.0 or newer.
- Launch the coverage server tool to serve up the JS code of your app:
$ dart bin/tools.dart coverage_server main.dart.js
-
(optional) If you have a complex application setup, you may need to serve an html file or integrate your application server to proxy to the log server any GET request for the .dart.js file and /coverage POST requests that send coverage data.
-
Load your app and use it to exercise the entire code.
-
Shut down the coverage server (Ctrl-C). This will emit a file named
mail.dart.js.coverage.json
-
Finally, run the live code analysis tool given it both the info and coverage json files:
$ dart bin/tools.dart coverage_analysis main.dart.info.data main.dart.coverage.json
Runtime Code Analysis
Runtime code analysis requires both an info file and a runtime data file.
The info file is emitted by compiling a dart2js app with --dump-info
:
$ dart2js --dump-info main.dart
Enable the collection of runtime data by compiling a dart2js app with an experimental flag:
$ dart2js --experimental-track-allocations main.dart
After using your app (manually or via integration tests), dump the top-level window object below to a text file:
JSON.stringify($__dart_deferred_initializers__.allocations)
Finally run this tool:
$ dart bin/tools.dart runtime_coverage main.dart.info.data main.runtime.data.txt
And with the following to view package-level information:
$ dart bin/tools.dart runtime_coverage --show-packages main.dart.info.data main.runtime.data.txt
Here's an example output snippet:
