NOTE (Travis Fischer): this is a custom fork of microbundle which focuses on React for create-react-library which adds a few nice-to-have features:
- Changes the default
jsx
option toReact.createElement
-
rollup-plugin-smart-asset
- smart bundling of imported image assets -
@babel/plugin-proposal-decorators
- add support for legacy decorators - very convenient for mobx -
@babel/plugin-proposal-optional-chaining
- adds?.
syntax support
Microbundle
The zero-configuration bundler for tiny modules, powered by Rollup.
✨ Features:
-
One dependency to bundle your library using only a
package.json
- Support for ESnext & async/await (via Bublé & async-to-promises)
- Produces tiny, optimized code for all inputs
- Supports multiple entry modules (
cli.js
+index.js
, etc) - Creates multiple output formats for each entry (CJS, UMD & ESM)
- 0 configuration TypeScript support
- Built-in Terser compression & gzipped bundle size tracking

New: Modern JS
Microbundle now has a new modern
format (microbundle -f modern
).
Modern output still bundles and compresses your code, but it keeps useful syntax
around that actually helps compression:
// Our source, "src/make-dom.js":
export default async function makeDom(tag, props, children) {
const el = document.createElement(tag);
el.append(...(await children));
return Object.assign(el, props);
}
Microbundle compiles the above to this:
export default async (e, t, a) => {
const n = document.createElement(e);
return n.append(...(await a)), Object.assign(n, t);
};
This is enabled by default - all you have to do is add the field to your package.json
. You might choose to ship modern JS using the "module" field:
{
"main": "dist/foo.umd.js", // legacy UMD bundle (for Node & CDN's)
"module": "dist/foo.modern.module.js", // modern ES2017 bundle
"scripts": {
"build": "microbundle src/foo.js -f modern,umd"
}
}
📦 Usage
Microbundle includes two commands - build
(the default) and watch
. Neither require any options, but you can tailor things to suit your needs a bit if you like.
microbundle
/ microbundle build
Unless overridden via the command line, microbundle uses the source
property in your package.json
to locate the input file, and the main
property for the output.
For UMD builds, microbundle will use a snake case version of the name
field in your package.json
as export name. This can be overridden either by providing an amdName
key in your package.json
or via the --name
flag in the cli.
microbundle watch
Acts just like microbundle build
, but watches your source files and rebuilds on any change.
Using with TypeScript
Just point the input to a .ts
file through either the cli or the source
key in your package.json
and you’re done.
Using CSS Modules
By default any css file imported as .module.css
, will be treated as a css-module. If you wish to treat all .css
imports as a module, specify the cli flag --css-modules true
. If you wish to disable all css-module behaviours set the
flag to false
.
The default scope name when css-modules is turned on will be, in watch mode _[name]__[local]__[hash:base64:5]
and when
you build _[hash:base64:5]
. This can be overriden by specifying the flag, eg
--css-modules "_something_[hash:base64:7]"
. Note: by setting this, it will be treated as a true, and thus, all .css
imports will be scoped.
flag | import | is css module? |
---|---|---|
null | import './my-file.css'; | |
null | import './my-file.module.css'; | |
false | import './my-file.css'; | |
false | import './my-file.module.css'; | |
true | import './my-file.css'; | |
true | import './my-file.module.css'; |
package.json
Specifying builds in You can specify output builds in a package.json
as follows:
"main": "dist/foo.js", // CJS bundle
"umd:main": "dist/foo.umd.js", // UMD bundle
"module": "dist/foo.m.js", // ES Modules bundle
"source": "src/foo.js", // custom entry module (same as 1st arg to microbundle)
"types": "dist/foo.d.ts", // TypeScript typings
Mangling Properties
To achieve the smallest possible bundle size, libraries often wish to rename internal object properties or class members to smaller names - transforming this._internalIdValue
to this._i
. Microbundle doesn't do this by default, however it can be enabled by createing a mangle.json
file (or a "mangle"
property in your package.json). Within that file, you can specify a regular expression pattern to control which properties should be mangled. For example: to mangle all property names beginning an underscore:
{
"mangle": {
"regex": "^_"
}
}
It's also possible to configure repeatable short names for each mangled property, so that every build of your library has the same output. See the wiki for a complete guide to property mangling in Microbundle.
