CLI Tool to bundle and transpile modern JS for usage in [js] and [jsui] in Max MSP. The idea is basically to support writing modern Ecmascript code alongside the usage of NPM dependencies within your code. Traditional module bundlers get us 95% there but there are some specifics to the js environment in Max that need to be accounted for. This project aims to help with that.
Big shout outs to the following projects that enable this:
- Babel - for transpiling the JS Code to EcmaScript 5
- Rollup - Rollup is used for bundling
- Oclif - for developing the CLI framework
Currently we are using a custom fork of Rollup in order to offer a custom format to avoid any module loader wrapping and leaving the global namespace intact. Apart from that the Treeshaking feature is disabled until I find a way to disable it only for the top level file. None of these issues should affect your code or its functionality. It just means you'll end up with a slightly bigger bundle than needed.
