Build For Production
By default, Farm has enabled support for the following features for production builds:
Tree Shake
: Crop and filter irrelevant modules and codeCompression
: Compress and mangle the output resources.Automatically inject Polyfill
: Farm downgrades to modern browsers(ES7) by default, if you need legacy browsers support, configuringtargetEnv
Automatic partial packaging
: Based on dependencies and size, the project is partially bundled. For each resource request, about 25 resources are generated to ensure parallel loading performance and improve cache hits rate as much as possible.
Configuring Output Dir
Add build script in package.json
:
Then execute npm run build
, the built resources will be emitted to build
dir:
If you want to custom the path that the resources emitted to, you can use:
For above example, all js/css
will be emitted to build/assets/
(example: build/assets/index-ea54.abbe3e.js
). All static assets like image will be emitted to build/static
(example: build/static/background.png
)
Preview Built Resources
After the resources built, you can preview them by npm run preview
:
open http://localhost:1911/
to preview your project.
Browser Compatibility
By default, Farm build projects to Modern Browsers that natively support async/await
:
- Chrome >= 62
- Firefox >= 63
- Safari >= 13.1
- Edge >= 79
You can use output.targetEnv to configuring your target browsers:
In above example, Farm will downgrade the syntax to es5
and inject polyfill automatically. Then we have to install core-js@3
to polyfill injection:
- You need to install
core-js@3
manually if your target to legacy browsers. - If you want to configure browsers targets more precisely, see Syntax Downgrade And Polyfill
Configure Tree Shake and Minify
Production optimization like treeShake
and minify
are disabled by default in development
for performance reasons, and enabled by default in production
. But if treeShake
or minify
are configured manually, the default value will be used regardless of development
or production
.
For details about tree shake and minify, see:
Configure Partial Bundling
Refer to Partial Bundling for details.
Farm enabled best practice of bundling already, make sure you really need to configure bundles manually. See Partial Bundling for details.
