@pika/plugin-build-node

A @pika/pack build plugin. Adds a Node.js distribution to your package, built & optimized to run on Node.js. If no other distribution is included with your package, many other tools & bundlers can understand this format as well.

Install

# npm:
npm install @pika/plugin-build-node --save-dev
# yarn:
yarn add @pika/plugin-build-node --dev

Options

• "sourcemap" (Default: "true"): Adds a source map for this build.
• "minNodeVersion" (Default: "8"): This plugin will build your package for the current minimum Node.js LTS major version. This option allows you to target later versions of Node.js only.
• "entrypoint" (Default: "main"): Customize the package.json manifest entrypoint set by this plugin. Accepts either a string, an array of strings, or null to disable entrypoint. Changing this is not recommended for most usage.

Result

1. Adds a Node.js distribution to your built package: dist-node/index.js
2. Common.js (CJS) Module Syntax
3. Transpiled to run on Node.js LTS (Currently, supports Node.js version v6+)
4. Adds a "main" entrypoint to your built package.json manifest.
