The zero-configuration bundler for tiny modules #831

Why you use the word tiny? I am currently using micro bundle for an entire component library and it works perfectly fine

It's not designed for larger use-cases, even if it happens to work okay for them.

Even though this is closed, I'm going to give a slightly more detailed answer.

Because microbundle creates a single JS file, the library no longer supports tree shaking. Any time you import a single component, you will incur the entire library size as a cost in your web app bundle.

That being said, you could use microbundle as part of a mono-repo, so that each component and utility is it's own microbundled library. But it may be more trouble than it's worth. It's probably a better idea to only use microbundle when consumers of your library would reasonably expect to use the entire library.
