Combines all bare imports (npm module imports) into a single packd-es import.

Input:

import { h, render } from 'preact@next';
import { useState } from 'preact@next/hooks';
import { html } from 'htm/preact';
render(h(() => html`<a />`), document.body);

Why is React doing this?

I heard some points of criticism to how React deals with reactivity and it's focus on "purity". It's interesting because there are really two approaches evolving. There's a mutable + change tracking approach and there's an immutability + referential equality testing approach. It's difficult to mix and match them when you build new features on top. So that's why React has been pushing a bit harder on immutability lately to be able to build on top of it. Both have various tradeoffs but others are doing good research in other areas, so we've decided to focus on this direction and see where it leads us.

I did want to address a few points that I didn't see get enough consideration around the tradeoffs. So here's a small brain dump.

"Compiled output results in smaller apps" - E.g. Svelte apps start smaller but the compiler output is 3-4x larger per component than the equivalent VDOM approach. This is mostly due to the code that is usually shared in the VDOM "VM" needs to be inlined into each component. The tr

const assert = require('assert');
//========== Helper functions
/**
* Resolves after `ms` milliseconds
*/
function delay(ms) {
return new Promise((resolve, _reject) => {
setTimeout(resolve, ms);

better createContext APIs with setters, and no default values, in Typescript. this is documented in https://github.com/typescript-cheatsheets/react-typescript-cheatsheet/blob/master/README.md#context
// create context with no upfront defaultValue
// without having to do undefined check all the time
function createCtx<A>() {
const ctx = React.createContext<A | undefined>(undefined)
function useCtx() {
const c = React.useContext(ctx)
if (!c) throw new Error("useCtx must be inside a Provider with a value")
return c
}
return [useCtx, ctx.Provider] as const

This will log the currently active element as it changes. Really great for accessibility testing when you're trying to figure out what element has focus (so you can either prevent it from getting focus or make the fact that it has focus more visually obvious for example).

A Gentle Introduction to Prepack, Part 1

Note:

When this guide is more complete, the plan is to move it into Prepack documentation.
For now I put it out as a gist to gather initial feedback.

A Gentle Introduction to Prepack (Part 1)

If you're building JavaScript apps, you might already be familiar with some tools that compile JavaScript code to equivalent JavaScript code:

  • Babel lets you use newer JavaScript language features, and outputs equivalent code that targets older JavaScript engines.
