so regarding compilation speed: there are newer options available in the js space like esbuild; are there options yet to easily swap out webpack for that?

[turansky]

For production/dev builds only?

[Bernhard]

yes (is there anything else?)

[turansky]

Dev server
Tests

[Bernhard]

oh, I see; can't use the dev server for my project sinde I'm not shipping html, just a js bundle; tests I suppose compile fast enough?

I'm working on https://gitlab.com/opensavvy/automation/kotlin-vite, but it requires an entrypoint index.html . Why are you shipping a pure JS bundle, what is it used for?

[Bernhard]

I'm working on a module for FoundryVTT which gobbles up all plugins/apps based on a js bundle

[Bernhard]

basically you define your index.js in a json file and it will load that

[CLOVIS]

What's stopping you from creating an index.html with your entrypoint, use it to make bundlers work, and then just publish the resulting .js file?

[turansky]

Vite has fine support for JS entrypoints too - it's just configuration

[CLOVIS]

Ah, indeed. @Bernhard if you're interested, I should be able to add this to the plugin without too many difficulties. If you want to follow progress.

many thanks!
