Speed Measure Plugin VS Microbundle

https://github.com/stephencookdev/speed-measure-webpack-plugin to measure where the time is being spent - can't optimise if you don't know where to spend the time.

The first thing to do should always be to see where the time is being spent. For that you can use https://github.com/stephencookdev/speed-measure-webpack-plugin

To begin, you need to prepare your environment. A few ways to build a React package include tools like Bit, Storybook, Lerna, and TSDX. However, for this tutorial, you will use a zero-configuration bundler for tiny modules called Microbundle.

I discovered microbundle lately, and I would like to share with you a mini template with the bare essentials and comfort to develop your packages with TypeScript.

For package authoring - microbundle is a handy boilerplate (I would avoid tsdx personally - it’s basically been abandoned for turborepo but that’s not apparent at first glance).

My tech stack was React + Typescript, Storybook for docs, vite.js for build instead of webpack, microbundle for bundling (basically a no-config rollup wrapper), and Google's release please bot for handling release/deployment.

Setting up a modern Typescript or Javascript development stack is a daunting task, there are a lot of moving parts, and sometimes the whole process seems like magic, so I switched to Microbundle. While microbundle handles the compilation, there are a lot of other moving parts that need to be set up to start developing with Nodejs/Typescript (CI, tests, linting, etc). So I've created an opinionated template repository with Typescript, Microbundle, Jest, eslint, husky, prettier, github actions, pnpm, and a bunch of other scripts. It enables me to start developing a library immediately by using the repository as a starter template. Let me know what you think and if some processes could be improved, or some valuable tools that could be added. Pull requests and suggestions are welcomed.

I would recommend starting by using https://github.com/developit/microbundle , as it has pretty good default behavior for generating library output.

Check out microbundle, which is what TSDX started as a typescript alternative to.

I’m quite happy with Microbundle
