spack: meta issue

[kdy1]

I'll publish the initial version without doing tasks written here.

Tasks

• type

• app - Bundles everything, just like webpack

• lib - Preserve module requires, just like rollup

• Watch mode

• Small fix for node_resolver (We need to include .ts by default)

• spack.config.ts

• swc.bundle([conf1, conf2])

• Handle dynamic import

• Provide webpack-like plugin / loader /resolver api

This is really a show-stopper. I'm going to publish first version without support for plugins. This requires one of the below, as spack uses all cpu cores.

• Promise API neon-bindings/neon#73

• Can I await javascript promise from rust? infinyon/node-bindgen#37

• Implement minifier (Minifier #826)

• Conditional imports

• Run global inlining pass for each module before analyzing dependencies.

Hey, is spack on crates.io yet?
All I'm seeing is the spack crate, but the docs just point to https://swc-project.github.io/rustdoc/swc/.

(And on the side note, is there an actual crate that exposes swc:: that is documented on the above link, or do you need to include individual components?)

[kdy1]

@jakajancar Sorry for late response.
I don't think spack as a crate is mature enough to be published. It's api will be changed frequently, just like the swc crate.

Managing multi crate repository is a big pain if some of those are published...

@jakajancar Bundler is now on crates.io
See: https://crates.io/crates/swc_bundler

@kdy1 Is there a recommended way to invoke spack at build-time (e.g., from a build.rs script)? That is all I really want from a spack-API.

[kdy1]

@jrop You can use Process

@kdy1 I was hoping to avoid a dependency on NodeJS

I don't think you can, since SWC uses neon for parts of the parser and interop. One way or another you'll need to have node installed if I understand this correctly.

[kdy1]

It's possible, but I'm not sure if it worths.

@ScottAwesome no, swc uses napi-rs
