@repay/scripts

The CLI tools used for building and bundling javascript packages at REPAY. Uses the @repay/babel-preset, overrides not currently available except through customizing the config.

Usage

Add @repay/scripts to your project with yarn add --dev @repay/scripts

Web application

To run a web application with reloading, call the dev command with your entry file:

// src/index.js
console.log("running");

In the command line:

repay-scripts dev src/index.js

Open your browser to https://localhost:3434

When development is finished, call the build command with your entry file to generate a distributable:

repay-scripts build src/index.js

CLI Commands

Using the tree-shaking option

Only applicable to libraries.

Adding the --tree-shaking option will create a commonjs bundle normally, but then use Babel directly instead of bundling the ES modules. This allows for more aggressive tree shaking or code splitting when the library is used for the front-end. Additionally, the library should implement the sideEffects property in it's package.json to allow bundlers to confidently remove unused files.

Example:

repay-scripts build --tree-shaking --lib src/index.ts

Using config option

The config options is passed a file which should export a single function as the module.exports which will be called with the pre-made configuration and the options provided to repay-scripts as the arguments, and must return a configuration.

web app example

# shell command
repay-scripts dev --config webpack.config.js src/index.js
// webpack.config.js
module.exports = (config, options) => {
  // access options to determine what changes to make
  if (options.command === "dev") {
    config.performance = { hints: false };
  }
  // returns config whether modified or not
  return config;
};

library example

# shell command
repay-scripts dev --config rollup.config.js --lib src/index.ts
// rollup.config.js
module.exports = (config, options) => {
  // remove ESM build
  config.outputs.splice(0, 1);
  // always return config
  return config;
};

Using the html-template option

The html-template option is used to pass a custom HTML template to html-webpack-plugin if you need to include some customized configuration to your HTML. This argument is only applicable to web applications -- not libraries. If no value is specified for this arg, the script will search for an index.html file under the src/ solder of your project and use that if one is found. If no custom HTML template is located or provided, a default template will be generated.

Example HTML Template

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8"/>
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, height=device-height, initial-scale=1" />
    <title><%= htmlWebpackPlugin.options.title %></title>
  </head>
  <body>
  </body>
</html>

Optimizing Bundles

By default, @repay/scripts splits out the webpack runtime as a bundle to prevent unnecessary content hash updates. You can read more about the option here.

When generating bundles for client facing applications, it's ideal to take libraries used and host them in a separate "vendor" or "common" bundle. This bundle can be cached between releases when the libraries are not upgraded. Here is an example implementation when using @repay/scripts and the config option.

// repay-scripts.config.js
module.exports = (baseConfig, options) => {
  if (options.env === "production") {
    // adds library bundles for cactus and react libraries
    baseConfig.optimization.splitChunks.cacheGroups = {
      cactus: {
        test: /[\\/]node_modules[\\/]cactus-/,
        name: "cactus",
        chunks: "all"
      },
      react: {
        // selects both react and react-dom into a separate bundle
        test: /[\\/]node_modules[\\/]react(-dom)?[\\/]/,
        name: "react",
        chunks: "all"
      }
    };
  }
  return baseConfig;
};

You can learn more about the splitChunks object and options in the webpack docs.
