What’s Included?

The nearly created lib will have everything you need to build and publish it, including:

• ES6 and CommonJS support, so you can choose which one to follow while writing your code.
• Babel as transpiler, so you don't have to care about making your lib compatible with older versions of JS.
• Webpack as bundler, so you can publish the minified version of your lib.
• Husky for managing and installing git hooks.
• ESLint and Prettier to enable static code validation and enforce code style.
• A build script to prepare your code to be published.
• A development script to enable you to test your lib locally.

All of the configuration files contains only the essentials for your lib to be published, so you can extend them easily to fit your own needs.
