Posts with mentions or reviews of plugins. We have used some of these posts to build our list of alternatives and similar projects. The last one was on 2022-10-05.
  • Rollup Library Starter
    9 projects | dev.to | 5 Oct 2022
    Next, we need to tell Rollup which of the modules used in our code are external to our library. Together with @rollup/plugin-node-resolve, this ensures that Rollup doesn't bundle those dependencies into our final bundle. The function makeExternalPredicate() generates the list of package names specified in dependencies and peerDependencies in package.json. All credit for this and a big thank you goes out to Mateusz Burzyński for providing it in this issue:
  • I'd like to use Svelte with PHP with SSR and an island architecture. How would I go about doing this?
    2 projects | /r/sveltejs | 3 Sep 2022

  • How to use SVGs in React
    6 projects | dev.to | 5 Nov 2021
    In Webpack 5, this is (surprisingly) simple to setup. Parcel 2 handles this out of the box with a special import prefix. Rollup has an official plugin.
  • What does it take to support Node.js ESM?
    9 projects | dev.to | 12 Aug 2021
    The only workaround to have an isomorphic __dirname or __filename to be used for both "cjs" and "esm" without using build-time tools like @rollup/plugin-replace or esbuild "define" would be using a library like filedirname that does a trick inspecting error stacks, it's clearly not the cleanest solution.
  • How to Build a To-do app with Svelte, Strapi & Tailwind CSS

  • Rollup 2 in a simple html+js usecase
    2 projects | dev.to | 3 Jun 2021
    Even for JSON files, rollup needs an aditional library - a json plugin. The installation & configuration will be covered below.
  • I'm a web developer trying to learn rust. What is the best way to implement rust with web assembly in rollup?
    4 projects | /r/rust | 24 Apr 2021
    If I do the same steps with vite everything seems to work fine. What am I doing wrong? I have tried using the wasm package from rollup @rollup/plugin-wasm but have not been successful.
  • Setting Up a JavaScript Build Process using Rollup
    8 projects | dev.to | 17 Feb 2021
    And then one Rollup plugin to integrate Babel:
  • Rolling (up) a multi module system (esm, cjs...) compatible npm library with TypeScript and Babel
    4 projects | dev.to | 7 Feb 2021
    @rollup/plugin-babel: Triggers the transpile step through Babel (basically what we have done by means of the babel-cli for the unbundled versions). As we are using babel only for the bundled artifacts babelHelpers are set to bundled, so in case any helpers are needed these are added to the bundle file (you can read more about the property in the documentation). In include and extensions the files and their extensions (ts/js for the example library) to process are defined, whereasexcludes indicates folders/patterns which should be skipped (just the node_modules folder for the example library).
  • How to Setup a TypeScript project using Rollup.js
    3 projects | dev.to | 19 Jan 2021
    In case you're planning to build a SPA project(Single Page Application), you can use the createSpaConfig in Rollup configuration. Also, you can install the @rollup/plugin-typescript for seamless integration between Rollup and TypeScript.

  • Smart Contract Programming Languages: sCrypt vs. Solidity
    2 projects | dev.to | 5 Apr 2024
    Learning Curve and Developer Tooling sCrypt is an embedded Domain Specific Language (eDSL) based on TypeScript. It is strictly a subset of TypeScript, so all sCrypt code is valid TypeScript. TypeScript is chosen as the host language because it provides an easy, familiar language (JavaScript), but with type safety. There’s an abundance of learning materials available for TypeScript and thus sCrypt, including online tutorials, courses, documentation, and community support. This makes it relatively easy for beginners to start learning. It also has a vast ecosystem with numerous libraries and frameworks (e.g., React, Angular, Vue) that can simplify development and integration with Web2 applications.
  • Type-Safe Fetch with Next.js, Strapi, and OpenAPI

    On top of that, Vite’s compiler is super fast, supports Typescript (which we of course used), and built just fine on our host, which was Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare Pages is a super fast static website hosting service by Cloudflare, which allows your site to take advantage of their global CDN to make sure your site is as close to your users as possible. It supports nearly any JS framework you could want to use for your site, and can even host plan old HTML if you’re of that persuasion.
