Development Tooling (Rollup + BrowserSync)

[lukeed]

Using Rollup, there is (currently) no way to both recompile changes and reload the current server. Forget about HMR! The Rollup dev process needs a third party to breach the gap & coordinate tasks.

This PR brings back the webpack-dev-server utility/behavior while still using Rollup.

Note: This does not alter the bundle's contents or size in any way.

Changes:

• Replaced http-server with browser-sync
• Renamed & relocatd todomvc-* static assets.
• Installed Fly for lightweight task watcher & manager
• (Greatly) Simplified all npm scripts
• Removed all unused dependencies (Webpack & co)

I could have used fly-uglify and re-applied the UglifyJS2 config using its JS API, but the previous CLI string was already done & straightforward, so I just passed it thru fly-shell instead.

Unless surge or gh-pages requires the http-server because it's simple / static?

[developit]

surge and gh-pages just use the contents of build, I was just using http-server to test. This still outputs to build/ for production builds right (npm run build)?

[lukeed]

That's what I thought. Yup!

@developit This is your call (obviously 😜). Won't care if you trash it, but if you're waiting for me to merge it, I can't.

[developit]

Going to check it out locally so I can get acquainted with the dev workflow and check a couple things (sourcemaps etc)

[developit]

(sorry for taking an eternity on this, toiling over 7.2 release and some other stuff!)

[lukeed]

Cool! No matter to me; can go either way.

Wow this is old 😂
