📝 TRACKING: Webnative Build Tool and Bundler Support

[bgins]

This issue tracks webnative compatibility with build tools, bundlers, and frameworks. It should be treated as a living document and a reference point for developers using webnative.

Comment on this issue if you are using a build tool, bundler, or framework that isn't listed here. In particular, let us know:

• Can you use webnative in local development mode?
• Can you build your application?

If you are unable to do the above, please open a separate issue with a reproduction and reference it here. The complexity of reproduction will depend on the tool, but in most cases this will be an example repository that we can quickly assess.

Reproductions should follow the spirit of a Short, Self Contained, Correct (Compilable), Example. Some of these guidelines do not translate directly. For example, the example might not actually compile, but setup and instructions for how to build should be included. In general, we are looking for a short example that demonstrates local development, build, or bundling issues with the latest version of webnative.

The build may have trouble when using the default minifier terser.

An alternative tool such as esbuild can be used for minification. You can reconfigure the terser (https://webpack.js.org/plugins/terser-webpack-plugin/#terseroptions) to not minimize

module.exports = {
  optimization: { minimize: false }
}
