How to call `yarn build` after plugin installation?

I develop a plugin: https://github.com/krzema12/hypergravity

I use yarn and webpack to bundle several .js files into one index.js file that resides in the root directory of my plugin and is loaded by Hyper. Currently, with every change in the source code, I need to recompile this index.js file and add it to the commit. Rebuilding is done after I do yarn build.

My aim is yarn build to be executed automatically when someone downloads or updates my plugin, so that the compiled and potentially minified /index.js does not reside in git repo.

How can I achieve it?

I think you should publish a prebuilt version of your package, you should only have webpack as a development dependency. In development, just run your webpack manually with --watch, would that work? So you should just build as normal and add files to your package.json, only publishing the built files. Hope that makes sense. I can see if I can find a guide 👍
