Rollup

Rollup

Rollup is a flexible JavaScript bundler that can be used to create custom build workflows. It is a good choice for experienced developers or projects with specific requirements.

Here is a simple example of how to use Rollup to bundle your code:

SNIPPET
1# Install Rollup
2npm install rollup
3
4# Create a rollup.config.js file with the following contents
5import rollup from '@rollup/plugin-commonjs';
6
7export default {
8  input: 'src/index.js',
9  output: {
10    file: 'dist/index.js',
11    format: 'cjs'
12  },
13  plugins: [
14    rollup()
15  ]
16};
17
18# Bundle your code
19rollup -c rollup.config.js
20
21# Output file
22dist/index.js

This will create a new dist directory containing a bundled JavaScript file called index.js. You can then open this file in a web browser to view your application.

Rollup can also be used to bundle more complex projects. For example, you can use Rollup to bundle multiple JavaScript files into a single file, or to bundle JavaScript and CSS files into a single file. You can also use Rollup to create custom build workflows, such as bundling code for different environments or creating libraries.

Here is an example of how to bundle multiple JavaScript files into a single file with Rollup:

SNIPPET
1# Install Rollup
2npm install rollup
3
4# Create a rollup.config.js file with the following contents
5import rollup from '@rollup/plugin-commonjs';
6
7export default {
8  input: ['src/index.js', 'src/main.js'],
9  output: {
10    file: 'dist/index.js',
11    format: 'cjs'
12  },
13  plugins: [
14    rollup()
15  ]
16};
17
18# Bundle your code
19rollup -c rollup.config.js
20
21# Output file
22dist/index.js

This will create a new dist directory containing a bundled JavaScript file called index.js that contains the code from both the index.js and main.js files.
