rollup-config-badger-den v1.1.1

What is the Badger Den?

A configurable Rollup plugin designed for easy bundling and packaging of FoundryVTT modules. Built with flexibility in mind -- let the Badger Den make your life easier.

Why Use the Badger Den?

Rapid Development

Using Rollup's watch mode and FoundryVTT's "hot module reload" system allows for more time coding and styling, and less time creating builds and reloading. Note, JS files are not currently compatible with FVTT's default HMR system, but are watched, re-bundled on change, and latched by Foundry on a browser refresh.

Multiple Build Profiles

Create different build configurations for various develeopment activities, such debug, test, and release; all using the same source code. Include additional development or debug JS modules without worry of accidental inclusion in the release bundle.

Compendium Extraction and Compilation

Manage compendium/database sources and optionally compile to, or extract from, human-readable source files and LevelDB/Foundry compatible compendium databases.

Source Structure Flexibility

Your code; your rules. Between file discovery via fast-glob and Rollup's own magic, the Den is happy with whatever file structure you use.

Stylesheet Bundling and Compilation

Supports Sass scss and standard css files with results bundled into a single css file, with appropriate module manifest entries. Simply import the stylesheet into your JS entry point, or any other relevant JS file. Dependent stylesheets will be automatically discovered and bundled as required.

External Module Support

Include browser-compatible utilities or libraries sourced from NPM packages or third party sources easily and without hassle.

Installation

npm init
npm install -D rollup-config-badger-den

Setup

The primary component of using the Badger Den is the "bd" config file, which contains the information and configurations for producing the output module bundle.

Den Config File

File location defines the module's root. File name must end in .bd.json. If an id field is not provided in the file, the preceding base name of config file will be used.

• E.g. src/my-module.bd.json

See Den Config Definition for full explation of each required and optional field in this file.

Example Config File

NPM Scripts

Executing the bundling/packaging process is most easily done via an entry in your package.json's scripts field.

For example:

{"develop": "rollup -c node:rollup-config-badger-den --config-den src/my-module:dev"}

Using the above, the build would be started with npm run develop, where develop is the name given to the script entry and :dev indicates to use the dev profile defined in the my-module.bd.json file located in the src/ folder, which is the root of the module.

Additional Arguments

-w | --watch Enable Rollup's watch mode, recompiling on changes.

--config-pack Compile LevelDB compendiums during build.

--config-unpack Extract LevelDB binary compendiums to human-readable source files.

These arguments can be added directly to the npm script entry, or passed along from the command line. Note, when passing via the command line, the arguments must be seperated by -- from the rest of the npm script command, as seen in the example below.

npm run development -- -w --config-pack
