Webpack on demand (immutable builds, cached by your browser)
Inspired by "Browserify as a service" at https://wzrd.in/.
Just deploy this micro service yourself (Zeit.co Now works really well). Then require single or multiple NPM packages.
Let us say you want to try hyperx.
Just grab it and it will be available as window.packs.hyper
<script src="https://your web-packing domain/hyperx"></script>
<script>
// print virtual dom from template string
var hyperx = window.packs.hyperx
var write = hyperx(function (tagName, attrs, children) {
console.log(tagName, attrs, children)
})
write`<h1>hello world</h1>`
</script>Multiple libs can be packed
<script src="https://your web-packing domain/hyperx&lodash"></script>
<script>
var {hyperx, lodash} = window.packs
</script>See more examples in examples folder.
Running NPM install + webpack every time someone requires a library is slow. To get around it, every bundle is cached by the service and returned with the following header, which helps alleviate the problem
Cache-Control:max-age=99999999, public, immutable
You can see the server timings BTW in the modern browser
