yarn test:open

Build a production bundle of the component library

To bundle the components into a library that can be used externally, you can run the following command. This will create a production bundle of the components in the dist folder.

yarn build

After running the above command, you can also pack the bundle into a .tgz file. This will create a .tgz file in the root folder. This is useful to troubleshoot build systems that are set up. If the command completes successfully, you can use the .tgz file to see what is included in your production bundle.
