Just one missing piece for a perfect solution - Dependency extraction #73

Thank you for this tool. It's amazing!

For webpack WP has a plugin dependency-extraction-webpack-plugin that bundles all the WP dependencies that are loaded externally.

Here is the related discussion on Vite repo: https://github.com/vitejs/vite/discussions/9411

Could we have that missing piece?

I am ready to help build such a feature, but unfortunately, I am not an expert on the build tools.

The Webpack dependency extraction plugin has two purposes. The first one is already possible with this plugin (see README), and the second one is mainly for developing custom blocks.

I have a WIP branch that solves the second issue. It should be released when ready (hopefully soon enough).
