How sizes are measured
The JavaScript figure includes this component’s required helpers. CSS includes its styling dependencies. Each entry is bundled separately for ES2022, minified, then compressed with gzip level 9. Your bundler may share helpers across components. Images, fonts, examples and application code are excluded.
Before compression: JavaScript 5.6 KiB; component CSS 3.3 KiB. These figures describe browser assets, not the complete package download.
