Current Behavior

There is not possible? to build library with razzle. As with rise of monorepo popularity there should be an option to easy extract a common util, or react component and build it using razzle!

Desired Behavior

Should be possible build library!

Suggested Solution

Add support for new build type to razzel, as most building blocks are there ( added with client-only support 🎉 )

Research direction
First, review how the 'client only' build type is implemented in Razzle's source code (likely in packages/razzle/config or similar). Then, examine existing webpack configurations for different build types. Propose a new configuration that outputs a library format (e.g., CommonJS or ES modules). Consider compatibility with both client and server builds. Finally, discuss with maintainers to refine the approach.
