Js Library Boilerplate
Javascript Starter Boilerplate - Webpack 4, Babel 7, UMD, Hot Reloading, and more
Overview
This library boilerplate is a more robust alternative for creating JavaScript libraries. It offers a range of features including Webpack 5, Babel 7, hot reloading, CSS autoprefixer, SASS/SCSS support, UMD exports, and support for Vanilla JS or React libraries based on CRA v5.0.0. It also includes Jest unit testing, customizable file headers, a configurable postinstall message, and daily dependabot dependency updates. This boilerplate aims to provide developers with a comprehensive solution for building and deploying JavaScript libraries.
Features
- Webpack 5: Utilizes the latest version of Webpack for efficient module bundling.
- Babel 7: Includes Babel 7 for transpiling JavaScript code to ensure compatibility across different environments.
- Hot Reloading: Enables hot reloading during development through the
npm startcommand. - CSS Autoprefixer: Automatically adds vendor prefixes to CSS properties for better browser support.
- SASS/SCSS Support: Allows the use of SASS/SCSS preprocessors for more advanced styling capabilities.
- UMD Exports: Generates Universal Module Definition (UMD) exports, making the library compatible with various environments.
- Based on CRA v5.0.0: Built on top of Create React App (CRA) version 5.0.0, providing a solid foundation for developing Vanilla JS or React libraries.
- Jest Unit Testing: Includes Jest for easy and efficient unit testing of library code.
- Customizable File Headers: Allows customization of file headers for built files, providing important information about the library.
- Configurable Postinstall Message: Provides the ability to display a customized message during the package installation process.
- Daily Dependabot Dependency Updates: Automatically updates dependencies on a daily basis, ensuring the library stays up-to-date and secure.
- React
React is a widely used JavaScript library for building user interfaces and single-page applications. It follows a component-based architecture and uses a virtual DOM to efficiently update and render UI components
- Tailwind
Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework that provides pre-defined classes for building responsive and customizable user interfaces.
- Eslint
ESLint is a linter for JavaScript that analyzes code to detect and report on potential problems and errors, as well as enforce consistent code style and best practices, helping developers to write cleaner, more maintainable code.
- Postcss
PostCSS is a popular open-source tool that enables web developers to transform CSS styles with JavaScript plugins. It allows for efficient processing of CSS styles, from applying vendor prefixes to improving browser compatibility, ultimately resulting in cleaner, faster, and more maintainable code.
- Webpack
Webpack is a popular open-source module bundler for JavaScript applications that bundles and optimizes the code and its dependencies for production-ready deployment. It can also be used to transform other types of assets such as CSS, images, and fonts.
