Importing only parts of browser modules with npm and babel

Question

I am wondering if it is possible to import only those parts of the library that you need, and not the entire package.

An example to illustrate what I mean.

import {gt} from 'ramda'; console.log(gt(3, 2)); // true 

I save it and launch a browser on it:

 browserify a.js -t babelify -o b.js 

b.js now runs in the browser; but it is 8432 lines long! It imported the entire Ramda library, although I only need the content gt.js , _curry2.js , _curry1.js and isPlaceholder.js .

If instead I write an example above:

 import gt from './node_modules/ramda/src/gt'; console.log(gt(3, 2)); // true 

Then b.js turns out to be 98 lines long.

Is there any way (other than described by me) to get around this problem?
