Bundle size

@qubeejs/core has zero runtime dependencies. What you ship depends on one decision: whether you import a driver or the registry.

Import	Minified	Gzipped
STRAPI_DRIVER (one driver)	6.5 kB	2.5 kB
DRIVERS (all eighteen)	49 kB	9.5 kB

Measured with esbuild, minified, ES2022, and asserted in CI so it cannot regress.

Import one driver

Each driver is its own module, exported by name:

import { STRAPI_DRIVER, QubeeStore, QueryBuilder } from '@qubeejs/core';

Bundlers tree-shake the other seventeen away, along with their response strategies and options.

When to use the registry

DRIVERS is a closed Record<DriverEnum, DriverDefinition>. Touching it reaches every driver by construction, so reserve it for when the backend genuinely is not known until runtime:

import { DRIVERS } from '@qubeejs/core';

const driver = DRIVERS[config.driver]; // pulls in all eighteen

Why there are no dependencies

The only one there ever was is qs, used solely to serialise nested bracket notation. It was replaced by a 40-line internal serialiser, verified case-by-case against qs itself — worth about 13 kB gzipped, which is why a single-driver import fell from 15.7 kB to 2.5 kB.

URLSearchParams cannot substitute for either: it percent-encodes with no opt-out, so filters[status][$eq] becomes filters%5Bstatus%5D%5B%24eq%5D, and it flattens nested objects to [object Object].
