Simplify the generation of distribution files for your JavaScript library

About

dist is basically a wrapper around Rollup, inspired by microbundle, but is specific to the use-cases described below.

Features

• Write your library as an EcmaScript Module but still allow it to be require'd in Node.js
• Inline your library's dependencies to create a single distribution file that should significantly improve startup time (a quick test of bundling a single dependency cut the dependency's load time in half)
• Use the babel option to transpile your code based on your library's Babel configuration

Options

• --name, -n Name to use for files and global variable (defaults to name in package.json)
• --input, -i Filename of source/entry file (defaults to {cwd}/index.js)
• --output, -o Output filename or directory path (defaults to ./dist)
• --cjs, -c Path for / whether to create a CommonJS dist file (defaults to false or main in package.json)
• --esm, -e Path for / whether to create a ESM dist file (defaults to false or module in package.json)
• --browser, -b Path for / whether to create a browser-specific (ESM) dist file (defaults to false or browser in package.json)
• --inline, -l Inline/bundle imported modules (defaults to false)
• --babel, -B Transpile output with Babel (defaults to false)
• --plugins, -p Specify a path for a Rollup plugins file to include
• --minify, -m Use Terser to minify output (defaults to false)
