@pika/pack • npm package building, reimagined.

Demo

## @pika/pack helps you build amazing packages without the hassle: - **Simple** ⚡️ Use pre-configured plugins to build your package for you. - **Flexible** 🏋️‍♀️ Choose plugins and optimizations to match your needs. - **Holistic** ⚛️ Let us build the entire package... *including package.json.* ## Quickstart Getting started is easy: ```js // 1. Install it! $ npm install -g @pika/pack // 2. Add this to your package.json manifest: "@pika/pack": { "pipeline": [] } // 3. Run it! $ pack build ``` ### 😎 🆒 So now what? If you run `pack build` with an empty pipeline, you'll get an empty package build. **@pika/pack** lets you connect pre-configured plugins to build and optimize your package for you. Plugins wrap already-popular tools like Babel and Rollup with npm-optimized config options, removing the need to fiddle with much (if any) configuration yourself. You even get a generated package.json manifest configured for you ***automatically***. ### 1. Create a project pipeline out of simple, pluggable builders. ```js // Before: Your top-level package.json manifest: { "name": "simple-package", "version": "1.0.0", "@pika/pack": { "pipeline": [ ["@pika/plugin-standard-pkg", {"exclude": ["__tests__/**/*"]}], ["@pika/plugin-build-node"], ["@pika/plugin-build-web"], ["@pika/plugin-build-types"] ] } } ``` Builders are simple, single-purpose build plugins defined in your `package.json`. For example, `@pika/plugin-build-node` & `@pika/plugin-build-web` build your package for those different environments. Other, more interesting builders can bundle your web build for [unpkg](https://unpkg.com), generate TypeScript definitions from your JavaScript, addon a standard CLI wrapper for Node.js builds, and even compile non-JS languages to WASM (with JS bindings added). ### 2. Builders handle everything, including package configuration. ```js // After: your built "pkg/" package.json manifest: { "name": "simple-package", "version": "1.0.0", // Multiple distributions, built & configured automatically: "esnext": "dist-src/index.js", "main": "dist-node/index.js", "module": "dist-web/index.js", "types": "dist-types/index.d.ts", // With sensible package defaults: "sideEffects": false, "files": ["dist-*/", "assets/", "bin/"] } ``` This is all possible because **@pika/pack** builds your entire package: code, assets, and even package.json manifest. By building the entire package, you end up with a fully-built `pkg/` directory, ready to publish. Entry points like "main", "module", "umd:main", "types", "unpkg", "files", and even advanced options like "sideEffects" are all handled by your build pipeline. ## Build Plugins **[Check out the full list](https://github.com/pikapkg/builders)** of official & community-written @pika/pack plugins! ## Lerna Support Curious about integrating @pika/pack with Lerna? Our official collection of plugins is a Lerna repo that uses @pika/pack to build each package! [Check it out](https://github.com/pikapkg/builders) to see how easy it is to use the two tools together.
