[data grid] Bundle size win opportunities

[oliviertassinari]

Summary

Since #18 was closed, I thought that we could have an open issue to keep track of the bundle size win opportunities possible for the data grid.

Ideas:

• Select. (win ~0.5 kB gzipped) Replace Select import with NativeSelect).
• TextField (win ~5 kB gzipped). Replace TextField with individual imports, allow dropping OutlinedInput and FilledInput from the bundle.
• license. (win ~0.7 kB) I believe we can remove the need to include packages/license/src/encoding/base64.ts in the bundle of the users. The possible solution would work as follows:
  • client-side, use the built-in window.atob() and window.btoa(), only run the license check if the window is defined (ignore server-side, and CI)
  • server-side, us the built-in Buffer.from('Hello World!').toString('base64'); and Buffer.from(b64Encoded, 'base64').toString() utils.
    [x-license] Use a simpler checksum for the license key #4892
• Simplify EventEmitter implementation by relying on EventTarget DOM API [internals] Move EventManager to @mui/x-internals package #13815. To be careful with runtime performance though Don't we need Events/Observer Pattern first? tc39/proposal-signals#111 (comment).
• (Premium) Try to replace ExcelJS with a light alternate (Current bundle size contribution: https://bundlephobia.com/package/@mui/x-data-grid-premium@7.12.1) | Possible candidate: [data grid] Replace ExcelJS #13267 (3rd alternate)
• Compress the errors: [code-infra][core] Compress throw new Error() to save bundle size  #14618.

Examples

• [core] Remove warning message in production #13911
• Plugin architecture [data grid] Create plugin system  #7358

Motivation

• Performance continues to be an important concern for developers. Speaking from my own experience as an end-user, I'm often frustrated by how slow Notion tabs opens, hence why I think we should care, to some extent.
• Current (2024-12) bundle size isn't exciting https://github.com/oliviertassinari/mui-x-data-grid-bundle-size

MUI X Data Grid: many modules, not super fast to build. 246 kB gzipped

AG Grid, 204 kB gzipped
