@pika/pack• npm package building, reimagined.
@pika/pack helps you build amazing packages without the hassle:
Simple⚡️Use pre-configured plugins to build your package for you.
Flexible🏋️♀️Choose plugins and optimizations to match your needs.
Holistic⚛️Let us build the entire package... including package.json.
Quickstart
- ``` shell
- npx @pika/pack # Run once.
- npm install --dev @pika/pack # Or, run multiple times using "pika pack" in any package.json scripts
- ```
😎🆒! So now what? If you run pika build with an empty pipeline, you'll get an empty package build. @pika/packlets you connect pre-configured plugins to build and optimize your package for you. Plugins wrap already-popular tools like Babel and Rollup with npm-optimized config options, removing the need to fiddle with much (if any) configuration yourself. You even get a generated package.json manifest configured for you automatically.
1. Create a project pipeline out of simple, pluggable builders.
- ``` js
- // Before: Your top-level package.json manifest:
- {
- "name": "simple-package",
- "version": "1.0.0",
- "@pika/pack": {
- "pipeline": [
- ["@pika/plugin-standard-pkg", {"exclude": ["__tests__/**/*"]}],
- ["@pika/plugin-build-node"],
- ["@pika/plugin-build-web"],
- ["@pika/plugin-build-types"]
- ]
- }
- }
- ```
Builders are simple, single-purpose build plugins defined in your package.json. For example, @pika/plugin-build-node & @pika/plugin-build-web build your package for those different environments. Other, more interesting builders can bundle your web build for unpkg, generate TypeScript definitions from your JavaScript, addon a standard CLI wrapper for Node.js builds, and even compile non-JS languages to WASM (with JS bindings added).
2. Builders handle everything, including package configuration.
- ``` js
- // After: your built "pkg/" package.json manifest:
- {
- "name": "simple-package",
- "version": "1.0.0",
- // Multiple distributions, built & configured automatically:
- "esnext": "dist-src/index.js",
- "main": "dist-node/index.js",
- "module": "dist-web/index.js",
- "types": "dist-types/index.d.ts",
- // With sensible package defaults:
- "sideEffects": false,
- "files": ["dist-*/", "assets/", "bin/"]
- }
- ```
This is all possible because @pika/packbuilds your entire package: code, assets, and even package.json manifest. By building the entire package, you end up with a fully-built pkg/ directory, ready to publish. Entry points like "main", "module", "umd:main", "types", "unpkg", "files", and even advanced options like "sideEffects" are all handled by your build pipeline.
