Overview

Adds DLL caching support to @roots/bud projects. This can significantly improve build times for vendored dependencies which do not frequently change.

toc

Summary

app.library differs from app.vendor in that it doesn't just separate the vendored code from the application code, but actually stops the vendored assets from needing to be rebuilt at all.

The first build will likely take longer as the DLL will need to be compiled, but subsequent builds should see a noticeable reduction in build time.

Installation

yarn add @roots/bud-library --dev

Usage

module.exports = (app) =>
  app.use("@roots/bud-library").library(["react", "react-dom", "react-forms"]);

Pass app.library the module you would like to add to the DLL cache:

app.library("jquery");

Multiple modules can be added using an array:

app.library(["jquery", "bootstrap"]);
