lbundle
Small zero-configuration bundler build on top of Rollup.js and SWC for NPM libraries
🚀 Motivation
There is always this repeated pattern for creating a library while following best practices that you need to maintain across all of your libraries, but then I thought maybe creating a library for bundling libraries is a good idea.
💾 install
NPM registry
# npm
npm i -D lbundle
# yarn
yarn add -D lbundle
# pnpm
pnpm i -D lbundle
# bun
bun i -D lbundle
JSR registry
# deno
deno add -D @mrii/lbundle
# jsr
npx jsr add -D @mrii/lbundle
🔧 Usage
package.json
This bundler heavily relay on your package.json
best practices.
{
"source": "./src/index.ts", // your source code entry
"main": "./dist/index.js", // cjs entry
"module": "./dist/index.mjs", // esm entry
"types": "./dist/index.d.ts", // declaration entry
"unpkg": "./dist/index.umd.js", // umd entry
// "unpkg": "./dist/index.amd.js", // or as amd
// "unpkg": "./dist/index.iife.js", // or as iife
"bin:source": "./src/cli.ts", // your source code bin entry
"bin": "./dist/cli.js", // bin entry
"sideEffects": false, // enable tree shaking for your library code, also useful for users bundlers
// the bundler will check for for different extension to bundle different formats
"exports": {
".": {
"default": "./dist/index.js",
"node": "./dist/index.js",
"require": "./dist/index.js",
"import": "./dist/index.mjs",

},
"./index.css": "./dist/index.css",

}
}
CLI
Just call lbundle binary
lbundle
And That's it, it will generate the bundle for you at the target directory.
✨ Features
- 🤩 all in 1: supports bundling your library and binary into all known formats (
esm
,cjs
,umd
,amd
andiife
), and generate declarations files as well. - 🚀 fast: it uses rust to compile source code into target env.
- 🍙 bun: can be used with
bunx --bun lbundle
to speed up the bundling even more. - 🌲 tree shaking: it will preserve your file structure (for
cjs
andesm
formats) so bundlers can exclude unused code easily. - 🎮 typescript: it supports bundling typescript code out of the box (make sure have
typescript
installed). - 🎯 JSX: supports JSX transformation out of the box (make sure have
react
andreact-dom
installed). - 💅 styles: it support all kind of style files:
css
,pcss
,sss
: out of the box.scss
,sass
: just installsass
.less
: just installless
.styl
,stylus
: just installstylus
.
- 🍇 CSS modules: all styles files support CSS modules by just appending
.module.
before the file extension. - 🗺️ path alias: supports TS
path
andbaseUrl
transformation. - 📤 auto externals: look for your
dependencies
andpeerDependencies
and exclude them from the bundle. - 🪛 json: supports importing
json
files in your code. - 📦 polyfills: supports adding polyfills to the bundle if you're using latest ES features (make sure to have
core-js
installed)
