FAQs

If I want to replace the default language pack to reduce the size, how do I do?

When the default language of your app is not English, you will be going to need to import another language file, which will increase the bundle size since you have both English and Your desired language bundled, you can use the plugin NormalModuleReplacementPlugin provided by webpack to replace the default language file, so that you will only get 1 language file bundled. Add the code below into your webpack.config.js to get it work.

webpack.config.js

{
  plugins: [
    new webpack.NormalModuleReplacementPlugin(
      /element-plus[\/\\]lib[\/\\]locale[\/\\]lang[\/\\]en/,
      'element-plus/lib/locale/lang/zh-cn'
    ),
  ]
