example.js and example.min.js do not match

[samcov]

The example.js and example.min.js do not match.

The min version is almost 8 times as large, and the code is different.

Why example.min.js Is Much Larger and Looks Different from example.js

✅ 1. Different Purposes

• example.js is a demo script, meant to be read and modified during development.
• example.min.js is a browser-ready bundle generated using tools like Browserify or Webpack.

✅ 2. Contents of Each File

File	Purpose	Contains
example.js	Development/demo use	Only the user-defined code (e.g. dragula usage)
example.min.js	Browser-executable production code	example.js + all dependencies + module loader

✅ 3. Why example.min.js Is Larger

• It bundles all dependencies: crossvent, dragula, custom-event, etc.
• It includes a module system shim to make require() work in browsers.
• It might also contain source maps or debug info encoded in base64.

✅ 4. Why the Code Looks Different

• example.js uses require() (Node-style modules).
• example.min.js wraps everything in an IIFE (Immediately Invoked Function Expression) to simulate a module system.
• Minification removes formatting and renames variables to reduce file size.
• Despite the different structure, example.min.js includes the same logic as example.js, plus all required modules.

🔍 Example:

// example.js
var crossvent = require('crossvent');
dragula([...]);
// example.min.js (simplified structure)
(function e(t,n,r){
  // Module loader...
  // crossvent definition...
  // dragula logic...
  // your example.js logic...
})(...)
