prettier-plugin-sort-imports VS esbuild

In a similar vein, you can sort imports with Prettier using Trivago’s plugin.

For most conventions regarding file structure, I would use tools like ESLint / Prettier instead of trying to enforce it with comments. For example this Prettier plugin allows you to enforce a specific import order without any extra effort.

Unsorted imports look ugly. Also, it could be hard to read and add new imports. So why not sort them automatically? We can do it with trivago/prettier-plugin-sort-imports.

Your suggestion to sort imports is valid, but depends on VSCode as an IDE. It would be better to use Prettier with this plugin that sorts imports for you.

Despite the existence of Prettier, arguments about code style such as how to sort ES module imports still exist. Manually sorting ES modules wastes time, and usually leads to losing context when you are writing code and then have to navigate to the top of a file to modify your import statements. I love using the @trivago/prettier-plugin-sort-imports plugin which automatically sorts new imports, and works perfectly together with TypeScript's auto-import feature. Similarly, prettier-plugin-tailwindcss automatically sorts Tailwind classes in your code.

In this GitHub repo, you can find a list of the other rules that are available.

For imports I like to use https://github.com/trivago/prettier-plugin-sort-imports so I don't have to think about it. Also, I think it's cleaner to have an index in your components folder that exports all of the named functions do you can import them into your files like:

During my search for deploying Lambdas via GitHub actions, I came across a tutorial that utilized ncc for converting TypeScript and bundling. While ncc is effective, I discovered esbuild, which proved to be significantly faster and perfectly suited to my requirements.

The advent of esbuild, the native support for ES Modules in browsers, the widespread adoption of import map, the emergence of tools like Native Federation, and the Nx ecosystem all combine to forge a flexible and well-maintained Micro Frontend Architecture.

EsBuild is a relatively new, blazing-fast JavaScript bundler and minifier. It stands out for its high performance, significantly speeding up the build process in development pipelines.

Unlike Webpack, the Vite DevServer only compiles files when they are requested. It leverages ES module imports, which allow JS files to import other files without needing to bundle them together during development. When one file changes, only that file needs to be re-compiled, and the rest can remain unchanged. Project files are compiled with Rollup.js. Third-party dependencies in node_modules are pre-compiled using the ultra-fast esbuild bundler for maximum speed, and they are cached until the dependency version changes. Vite also provides a client script for hot module reloading.

Use esbuild to build the React code into a form executable on both the server and client sides.

The functions will bundle using esbuild. For that, it is required to install esbuild globally:

TSX is the newest and most improved version of our ts-node, using ESBuild to transpile TS files to JS very quickly. The most interesting part is that TSX was developed to be a complete replacement for Node, so you can actually use TSX as a TypeScript REPL, if you install it globally with npm i -g tsx, just run tsx in your terminal and you can write TSX natively. But what's even cooler is that you can load TSX for all TypeScript files using --loader tsx when you run your file. For example, let's say we have this file called index.ts:

esbuild plus Vite is out of developer preview and enabled by default, yielding 67%, 87%, 80% speed improvements for build time, hybrid build time and hybrid serve time respectively.

Bundling with esbuild

Besides Webpack, there are many other popular web bundlers available, such as Parcel, Esbuild, Rollup, and more. They all have their own unique features and strengths, and you should make your decision based on the needs and requirements of your specific project. Please refer to their official websites for details.
