  • 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.

  • SurveyJS

    A Non-Cloud Alternative to Google Forms that has it all.. SurveyJS JavaScript libraries allow you to easily set up a robust form management system fully integrated into your IT infrastructure where users can create and edit multiple dynamic JSON-based forms in a no-code form builder.

  • 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
