Provides a way to build web component as distributable library

I don’t know if it could be a feature request or a question, but anyway…

At the moment, the different build options (rollup+webpack) provide us the capacity to build an app or a demo because the build tools takes the index.html file as entry point. But here is another common use case for developers which just consists into build a component as a distributable library (production-ready) that they could then deploy to a NPM registry.

It seems that this UC is not covered but maybe I missed something?

This is an area we intend to cover very soon.

In general es modules + code that runs in modern browsers is what you want to publish for libraries and web components. If you are using non standard code like typescript, you will need to compile that away, but there is no need to do any es5 or bunding. All modern browsers support es modules, classes, async functions etc. Your consumers know best how to optimize for their users.

https://justinfagnani.com/2019/11/01/how-to-publish-web-components-to-npm/ is a good read and covers mostly our point of view.

Thanks. Will close this one and track the other issue in the new one.
