Re: [closure-compiler-discuss] Object property names optimization

[John Lenz]

Sure, you need to enable "alias externals" via the java api or a custom build but you don't want to. It will be much larger post zip.

Is there a way to make the compiler (in SIMPLE_OPTIMIZATIONS mode) translate "obj.somePropertyName=value;" to "var ab='somePropertyName';obj[ab]=value;"? This will reduce the code size if "obj.somePropertyName" is used multiple times.

It's just the way it is...

$ echo 'var a="asdf";a;a;a;a;' | gzip -c | wc
0 1 36
$ echo '"asdf";"asdf";"asdf";"asdf";' | gzip -c | wc
0 1 31

The intuition is that the way deflate algorithms like gzip work is by
finding similarities. You're trying to do that by hand, which will
interfere with the gzip algorithm.
