[WIKI]: Documentation for RollupJS bundler #43

Closed Anonymxtrix closed 1 year ago

Anonymxtrix commented 3 years ago

Feature

Ever since the introduction of our module bundler RollupJS, I feel that documenting in the code alone is insufficient. We should include a page in the wiki to explain the choices and the build flow (eg. TypeScript -> ESNext -> ES2015) and the intermediate steps within the bundler system (eg. CopyFilePlugin and Polyfills).

Checklist

[x] I checked the documentation and found that it does not already exist
[x] I checked to make sure that this issue has not already been filed

With the introduction of the new build system, rollup.js is no longer used (in favour of the much faster esbuild) and the build process has thus changed.
