@KENNETH_SKOVHUS COLLAPSING LAYERS OF TOOLING & CLEARING AWAY LEGACY ASSUMPTIONS
THIRD AGE OF JS 2020-2030?

@KENNETH_SKOVHUS CLEARING AWAY LEGACY ASSUMPTIONS 👋 COMMON JS, MODULES NOT
SUPPORTED 👋 JS TOOLS BUILD IN JS 👋 LANGUAGE VARIATIONS (BABEL, TYPESCRIPT) 👋 CUSTOM FILE LOADERS (E.G. SVG, CSS MODULES) THIRD AGE OF JS 2020-2030?

@KENNETH_SKOVHUS VITE “VIT” DEV SERVER & BUILD TOOL BY THE
VUE COMMUNITY BASED ON ESBUILD (GO) & ROLLUP

@KENNETH_SKOVHUS VITE “VIT” DEV: ESM (NO BUNDLING), INSTANT HMR PROD:
BUNDLING USING ROLLUP

@KENNETH_SKOVHUS PLEO CONTEXT

@KENNETH_SKOVHUS

@KENNETH_SKOVHUS REACT TYPESCRIPT SINGLE PAGE APP CLIENT SIDE RENDERED ~250K
LINES OF CODE

@KENNETH_SKOVHUS SLOW CUSTOM TOOLCHAIN BASED ON WEBPACK 4 2019 MAY:
DREAMING OF REPLACE THIS WITH A COMMUNITY MAINTAINED ONE (E.G. CREATE REACT APP) 2022 APRIL: WE MIGRATED TO VITE

@KENNETH_SKOVHUS LET US SEE HOW WE DID IT

@KENNETH_SKOVHUS 🚧 WHAT NEEDED TO BE DONE?

@KENNETH_SKOVHUS 🚧 GET RID OF COMMON JS AND WEBPACK LOADER
SYNTAX

@KENNETH_SKOVHUS 🚧 SWITCH TO RELATIVE DYNAMIC IMPORTS

@KENNETH_SKOVHUS 🚧 UPGRADE DEPENDENCIES FOR ESM COMPATIBILITY 🙈

@KENNETH_SKOVHUS 🚧 HACK SOME DEPENDENCIES FOR ESM COMPATIBILITY import {viteCommonjs}
from '@originjs/vite-plugin-commonjs' resolve: { alias: { // Workaround as ESM version of react-virtualized is broken. // https://github.com/bvaughn/react-virtualized/issues/1212 'react-virtualized': 'react-virtualized/dist/umd/react-virtualized.js', }, }, plugins: [ // Fix missing ESM support for legacy third parties viteCommonjs({include: ['react- fl exbox-grid']), ]

@KENNETH_SKOVHUS 🚧 ENABLE JS-LINGUI (I18N) TO SUPPORT ESBUILD vite-plugin-babel-macros

@KENNETH_SKOVHUS 🚧 ENABLE JS-LINGUI (I18N) TO SUPPORT ESBUILD

@KENNETH_SKOVHUS 🚧 MAKE STORYBOOK NOT DEPEND ON OLD WEBPACK SETUP

@KENNETH_SKOVHUS 🚧 DELETE WEBPACK CODE AND RELATED DEPENDENCIES!

@KENNETH_SKOVHUS 🌦 TESTING, TESTING, TESTING

@KENNETH_SKOVHUS THE OUTCOME* *) DISCLAIMER: CUSTOM WEBPACK SETUP POTENTIALLY NOT
SUPER OPTIMIZED

@KENNETH_SKOVHUS THE OUTCOME: PRODUCTION BUILD (CI) Webpack Vite % 212s

@KENNETH_SKOVHUS THE OUTCOME: HOT MODULE REPLACEMENT Webpack Vite % n/a
(~800ms compile) 2-40ms 🚀🚀🚀

@KENNETH_SKOVHUS THE OUTCOME: FIRST CONTENTFUL PAINT Webpack Vite % 10s
±0.6s 7.2s ±0.6s -28 % Better bundle splitting, less down-levelling, better tree shaking

@KENNETH_SKOVHUS THE OUTCOME: LIGHTHOUSE PERFORMANCE Webpack Vite % 78 89
