The bundling process
The bundling process 2 phases: • Build the Dependency Graph
• Graph Serialization
The bundling process 2 phases: • Build the Dependency Graph
• Graph Serialization
• Transform modules • Collect dependencies • Resolve dependencies Dependency
Graph
Dependency Graph Input: ./index.js import foo from './foo'; import leftPad
from 'left-pad'; // ...
Dependency Graph Input: Output: ./index.js import foo from './foo'; import
leftPad from 'left-pad'; // ... const foo = require('./foo'); const leftPad = require('left-pad'); // ...
Dependency Graph Input: Output: ./index.js import foo from './foo'; import
leftPad from 'left-pad'; // ... const foo = require(1); const leftPad = require(2); // ... [ "./foo", "left-pad", ]
Dependency Graph Input: Output: ./index.js import foo from './foo'; import
leftPad from 'left-pad'; // ... __d(function(global, require) { const foo = require(1); const bar = require(2); // ... }); [ "./foo", "left-pad", ]
Dependency Graph ./foo.js ./index.js Input: import foo from './foo'; import
leftPad from 'left-pad'; // ... Output: [ "./foo", "left-pad", ] __d(function(global, require) { const foo = require(1); const bar = require(2); // ... });
Dependency Graph ./node_modules/left-pad/index.js ./foo.js ./index.js Input: Output: [ "./foo", "left-pad",
] __d(function(global, require) { const foo = require(1); const bar = require(2); // ... }); import foo from './foo'; import leftPad from 'left-pad'; // ...
Dependency Graph ./node_modules/left-pad/index.js ./foo.js ./index.js ./bar.js ./baz.js
Dependency Graph ./node_modules/left-pad/index.js ./foo.js ./index.js ./bar.js ./baz.js
Dependency Graph Transforming files is slow • Parse JS into
AST • Mutate AST • Generate JS & SourceMaps from AST
1) Caching system • Extensible • Layered architecture class MyCacheStore
{ async get(key) { // Return value } async set(key, value) { // Set value } async clear() { // Clear all cached values } }
1) Caching system • Fulfilled by a CI job •
Makes initial builds considerably faster HTTP Remote cache
2) Parallelization jest-worker main.js import Worker from 'jest-worker'; async function
main() { const worker = new Worker('./worker.js'); const result = await worker.hello('Alice'); } worker.js export function hello(param) { return 'Hello, ' + param; }
3) Delta Bundler • Available in dev mode • Avoids
regenerating the Dependency Graph • Sends only changes to the devices • Enabled by default in Android (iOS soon!)
3) Delta Bundler ./bar.js ./foo.js ./index.js ./baz.js A ./index.js A
./foo.js A ./bar.js A ./baz.js
3) Delta Bundler ./bar.js ./foo.js ./index.js ./baz.js M ./foo.js
3) Delta Bundler ./bar.js ./foo.js ./index.js ./baz.js A ./new.js M
./bar.js ./new.js
3) Delta Bundler ./bar.js ./foo.js ./index.js ./baz.js M ./foo.js ./new.js
3) Delta Bundler ./bar.js ./foo.js ./index.js ./baz.js M ./foo.js M
./bar.js D ./new.js ./new.js
Scalable by design 1) Caching system 2) Parallelization 3) Delta
Bundler
The bundling process 2 phases: • Build the Dependency Graph
• Graph Serialization
Graph Serialization • Takes the graph object as an input
• Generates bundle from it

Takeaways Slow build times? Use remote cache https://tinyurl.com/metrocaches Slow app
startup? Use RAM bundles https://tinyurl.com/enablerambundles
