Asset - Building

This package provides you with the whole suitcase of modern asset building for the web. Build on top of webpack it goes a similar root as encore or mix but with almost zero configuration on your part. We use this builder for all of our projects from traditional monolithic javascript, over jQuery, Vue.js, and Typescript (It can't cook you a coffee, tho!). If the base distribution does not meet your requirements, it is possible to extend it using the built-in hook system or by writing your webpack config.

Installation

• Install the npm dependency:

npm install --save-dev @labor-digital/asset-building

This package works in Node.js ^16.20.0

• Add the following part to your package.json:

  "scripts": {
    "build": "labor-asset-building build",
    "watch": "labor-asset-building watch",
    "analyze": "labor-asset-building analyze"
  }

• Done! :-)

Basic usage

For a basic usage example either take a look at the "demo" directories or create a new "App.ts" file next to your package.json, add "console.log("Hello world");" as content and alter your package.json like so:

"labor": {
    "apps": [
        {
            "entry": "./App.ts",
            "output": "./dist/bundle.js",
        }
    ]
}

Start the watcher with "npm run watch" and the script should do it's magic :)
