What about instead tree-shaking out the component + its children from the final build, so it really leaves no trace?

[stafyniaksacha]

We can add a custom core unplugin like the /src/core/plugins/tree-shake.ts to remove everything that match <DevOnly>(:?[\s\S]*)*<\/DevOnly> from sources during build.

What do you think @danielroe ?

[danielroe]

Exactly. Might possibly be within the same plugin.

[stafyniaksacha]

I created another plugin to remove in templates, since the tree-shake runs on vue script and js/ts files.

But this would not tree-shake stateless components call like:

<script setup lang="ts">import { h } from'vue'import { DevOnly } from"#components"const dynamic = () =>h(DevOnly, "Should be dev only")</script>
<template> <component:is="dynamic" />
</template>

Maybe I can take care about this on the initial tree-shake plugin, and rename them to something like tree-shake-scrips / tree-shake-templates

Edit: I will use this https://github.com/nuxt/framework/blob/main/packages/nuxt/src/components/tree-shake.ts

Hey!

This is excellent work 🤩

Can't wait to have this merged, this will be so useful to enhance DX on themes :)

Nice PR <3 LGTM. Although tree-shaking should happen in SFCs, if we are outside and not happening, the chunk will silently be included but not rendered/loaded.
