Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

No(t) Rollup → Nollup

Rollup compatible bundler, designed to be used in development. Using the same Rollup plugins and configuration, it provides a dev server that performs quick builds and rebuilds, and other dev features such as Hot Module Replacement.

Why Nollup?

Rollup is an incredible tool, producing very efficient and minimal bundles. Many developers use it already to build libraries, but I wanted to use it to build apps. However, Rollup focuses mostly on the production side of things, with almost no developer experience other than basic file watching. Using Rollup in development can be incredibly slow with rebuilds taking seconds because of all of the optimisations Rollup does for you (ie. tree-shaking, scope-hoisting).

Nollup aims to fill in that gap. Using the same Rollup plugins and configuration, you can use Nollup to run a development server that generates a development bundle. It does no optimisations, making it really quick at rebuilding, also allowing for Hot Module Replacement using existing module.hot conventions for compatibility with existing libraries.

Read further about why I prefer using Rollup to build apps here.

How to Use

Nollup provides four ways to use it:

For the majority of projects, it is recommended to use the CLI approach.

Quick Start

create-nollup-app is a CLI that will generate a Nollup project for you.

// npm 6 and below
npm init nollup-app --name <project-name> --template <template>

// npm 7+ which requires extra dashes
npm init nollup-app -- --name <project-name> --template <template>

// any npm version
npx create-nollup-app --name <project-name> --template <template>

Examples

The examples show different features of Nollup, including examples for React and Preact based projects with HMR. They also demonstrate how to use Nollup in development and Rollup to build production builds. Highly recommended to check them out here.

Hot Module Replacement

See documentation about Hot Module Replacement here.

Supported Rollup Config Options

See documentation about supported Rollup config options here.

Nollup Plugins

Some Rollup plugins provide additional support for Nollup projects. You can find the list here.

Nollup Plugin Hooks

Nollup provides additional plugin hooks for plugin authors to implement features such as HMR. See more information here.

Live Bindings

For performance reasons, by default Nollup does not enable ESM live-bindings (but still supports circular dependencies). If you require live-bindings or are running into an issue where something imported is undefined, you can enable live-bindings. See more information here.

Caveats

  • Only Rollup configurations that make sense in development are implemented.
  • Might be some inconsistencies with Rollup, but should be fine for majority of projects.
  • May be issues with circular dependencies. See here for more information.
