require 'sequel/core' vs require 'sequel' in rodauth_demo.rb

[jf]

I see in https://github.com/jeremyevans/rodauth/blob/master/demo-site/rodauth_demo.rb that require 'sequel/core' is used. In my own usage of Sequel (it's been a while, admittedly), I don't remember require-ing sequel/core. Is there any reason to do specifically do require 'sequel/core' as opposed to require 'sequel'?

When you require "sequel/core", you don't load Sequel model code that Rodauth doesn't use, which means faster require and less memory. For comparison, requiring sequel/core loads 7.5k LOC, while requiring sequel loads 11.5k LOC.

thank you!

just one clarification here before I consider this closed: by models you would be referring to any classes that inherit from Sequel::Model, right? whereas if I were to only use datasets I would be fine sticking to require sequel/core?

[jeremyevans]

Correct.
