Modular Build WinJS and react-winjs?

Closed this issue · 2 comments

It's very common for React based projects to use a commonjs build system, such as browserify or webpack. WinJS would be more efficient to adopt if it had a modular build system that supported commonjs out of the box. This would minimize the size cost of incorporating all of WinJS, when only one or two components use it. Also see winjs/winjs#571.

Some suggestions how this would work:

  • Each React component defined in a separate file, using defineControl etc...
  • Each react-winjs component defined using commonjs and dependent only on the winjs modules that it uses
  • Using webpack allows incorporation of CSS and will automatically convert AMD modules
  • Using browserify would mean needing to use deamdify into the build to convert AMD->CommonJS

That's a good idea. I will think more about this once I've exposed all of the controls.
