Kind of issue
Missing information
Issue description
I'm using Vite + React. For reducing the bundle size, I use option 1 (default imports) as follows:
import SomeIcon from "@mui/material-icons/SomeIcon"
This worked great until the file count and icon count increased. Now I see that more than 290 icons are used in my app and they are all being loaded by Vite. I have no idea why. I searched and it seemed that that maybe changing them to named imports would solve this problem.
So, I visited the docs again. However, I could not find any explanation of whether or not using Option 2 (named imports) is OK with Vite.
So, could you please specify this case in your docs? Are named imports OK with Vite in terms of the bundle size? Or do they increase the bundle size?
