  • Microbundle

    📦 Zero-configuration bundler for tiny modules.

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

  • react-bootstrap

    Bootstrap components built with React

    Huh. Looking at the build script for react-bootstrap on the bs4-dev branch, they are using Webpack... but it looks like it's just to build the UMD bundles like https://unpkg.com/browse/react-bootstrap@2.0.3/dist/react-bootstrap.js . The CJS/ESM output is generated by just running Babel directly on the source files and outputting them individually.

  • Appwrite

    Appwrite - The Open Source Firebase alternative introduces iOS support . Appwrite is an open source backend server that helps you build native iOS applications much faster with realtime APIs for authentication, databases, files storage, cloud functions and much more!

  • react-menu

    React component for building accessible menu, dropdown, submenu, context menu and more.

    You could have a look what I'm shipping for my library https://github.com/szhsin/react-menu/tree/master/dist
