Description

nwb currently supports transpiling to ES5+CommonJS in lib/ and ES5+ES Modules in es/ with Babel, and creating UMD bundles in umd/ with Webpack.

  1. Is Rollup better for the UMD piece?

  2. Should we support creating single-file bundles in dist/ with Rollup and making those main and modules in package.json?

  3. Is there anything else Rollup offers or does better which we could use it for?

Research direction
The issue is a discussion from 2017 about using Rollup for bundling in the nwb project. Start by reviewing the existing build configuration (likely in the repository's config files) and understanding how Webpack and Babel are currently used. Then, explore Rollup's documentation and example plugins to propose a specific integration plan. The single comment and reactions may provide additional insights into community interest.
