wrollup - Simple watcher for rollup

Simple to use

npm install -g wrollup
wrollup -c rollup.config.js

About

A simple watcher for building rollup bundles inspired by the https://github.com/stylus/stylus watcher

Why

The plugin 'rollup-watch' is pretty OK, but has a few issues like not being able to recover, hanging forever when not connected to the internet -- all in all a bit of a pain to deal with. wrollup is intended to make the watching and bundle process as smooth as possible.

How

Using a similar init process we use rollup internally to parse the rollup.config.js file and star the watcher with a set of streamlined logging procedure (similar to stylus-lang) and pretty error parsing.

Requirements

Rollup

npm install --save-dev rollup # locally (for use with npm scripts)

or

npm install -g rollup # globally (not recommended)

A rollup config file (looks for rollup.config.js by default). A basic one can be for example:

import buble from 'rollup-plugin-buble'
import nodeResolve from 'rollup-plugin-node-resolve'
import commonjs from 'rollup-plugin-commonjs'

export default {
  entry: 'src/index.js',    // required
  dest: 'dist/bundle.js',   // required
  format: 'iife',           // required
  plugins: [
    buble(),
    nodeResolve(),
    commonjs({
      include: 'node_modules/**'
    })
  ]
}
