Proposal: Rollup task

[Thisen]

I propose adding a task for Rollup.

Rollup is used by many to optimize their libraries and is a solid tool. Webpack doesn't have esm support yet.

[anikethsaha]

yeah, it would be great to have it !.
I never used rollup but it seems they support config files so I guess it can be pretty much similar to the webpack tasks!

Webpack DEFINITELY has esm support, but rollup is a good task to have. Although I don't want to make the mistake of making an impression that people need to have wrappers on every tool to get productive with this library. Perhaps I should have a "execTask" and a "nodeTask" for out of box flexibility?

[anikethsaha]

like execTask or nodeTask to run other commands (CLI cmds) or to run other tasks?
maybe spawnTask kind of thing may work ! not sure though

@kenotron I wasnt clear in my description, what I meant by es modules support was that Webpack doesnt have libraryTarget: 'esm', as described here: webpack/webpack#2933

[Thisen]

I can also contribute to those tasks, if needed.

[kenotron]

oh yes, for that you need rollup! for sure! I'm a bit busy working on the build cache stuff ATM... if you want to contrib, you'll get to see it in the codebase faster :) Much like the eslint task :P

Issues seem to have gone stale.
