Is there a way to download only the modules you need or do you have to download the whole thing? For example, when downloading JQueryUI you can create a custom build that only includes the needed functionality. Does that exist for ArcGIS for Javascript?
Garett,
Sounds like you have not seen this:
ArcGIS API for JavaScript Web Optimizer | Guide | ArcGIS API for JavaScript 3.25
Thanks. I should have said in the original question but I am using 4.8 so this won't work. Sounds like Noah's solution is the way to go unless there is the Web Optimizer for 4.x
Garett,
Nope if you are using 4.x then Noah's is the only way.
In addition to the Web Optimizer, I would also recommend npm and webpack if you are working with the 4.x version of the API, and bower if you are working with the 3.x version of the API.
Using npm for Custom Builds | ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.8
Using webpack for Custom Builds | ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.8
Hope this helps.
