[Discussion] How to estimate the time complexity of the webpack build/compilation?

[suguanYang]

Let's say we use typescript on a project, it has 1000 lines of code, and there have 10 esmodule dependencies, and we assume the base compilation complexity of the typescript loader is n, and the per dependency bundle is m, can we estimate a approximate time complexity of webpack build this project to a single js file? Is there a formula like <line of code> * <loader complexity> + <number of dependecies> * <bundle complexity> so the final time complexity of this project would be 1000 * n + 10 * m

very unlikely.. it depends on your webpack config a lot.. + <line of code> is wrong, it depends on your code..
