Brunch VS Rollup

Alright! So, I head over to the Github repository to see if that thing is still active. Last commit on Feb 18th 2021. Sounds maintained. Issue count? 143 at the time I'm writing this. Perhaps I'll run into some of those, but hey: Don't say no until you've tried it, right?

So, the website looks promising:

There are a few manual ways to code split with Webpack, Rollup, Browserify and other bundling tools. But React has provided features to help tackle this called: React.Lazy and Suspense.

On the plus side, you'll get the added bonus later to automatically convert these fixture to constants in one step, through Rollup setup - but that will be a story for another time.

When rollup released its version 2.75.3 our angular library's build was suddenly started breaking. It throws following error. Cannot read properties of null (reading 'render') Visit this link to see more details

If you've done web development for any amount of time, there's a good chance you've had to work with tools like Webpack, Rollup, Browserify and other front-end tooling systems. But do you know why we started using them in the first place, and why they are still part of our everyday workflow?

One of the advantages of using Nx over - say CRA or a custom starter template - is that your Nx workspace is evergreen. What do I mean by that: by now we all know how fast the frontend space is moving, and so are the corresponding devtools. Today you might be using Rollup to build your libraries, tomorrow you use swc, vite or esbuild. Same with Webpack. Webpack 5 has been around for a while already, and still, a lot of projects are stuck at v4.

How can I use tree shaking tools (like in Webpack 2 or rollup?I don't want to eject already so seems like I don't really have access to the Webpack configuration.

Vite addresses this problem by providing a development server and a lightning-fast build command. Vite, pronounced /vit/, is French for "quick," and this name describes the goal for this tool. The build command uses Rollup under the hood, which is preconfigured to create highly optimized code. The development server makes use of browser support for ES modules. Hot Module Replacement will instantly load any codebase changes into the browser.

Svelte Native is based on Svelte, and it allows Svelte developers to build native Android and iOS applications. It was initially released in November 2021 by Rich Harris, the Creator of Rollup, the popular JavaScript module bundler.

Nowadays, almost every web developer uses one bundler or another. Webpack is by far the most popular, with Rollup and Vite in second and third, respectively. Currently, Vite is the fastest-growing major bundler, which has been adopted by frameworks like Vitepress, SvelteKit, Astro, and more.

I have recently been looking into rollup and seeing how it differs from Webpack and other bundlers. One thing I came across was that it is better for libraries because of "flat bundling". This is based on a tweet and from a recent PR for React to utilize Rollup.
