Notes on the Build System

Tools used

Gulp 4 - Task master for everything require pulls in the whole directory

autoprefixer supports whatever old browsers you specify (CSS)

jspm - like webpack with bower, closely associated with SystemJS See jspm-builder.js We don't put everything into one file in HTTP-2. How do we do it?

• all 3rd party dependencies are bundled together
• HTML, CSS, JS are separate now, but could be bundled
• Files are multiplexed, all on one connection

Shortcomings/to be improved:

• Only listens for changes, not for added files
• Doesn't know to recompile SASS files that import other SASS files when the imported files change

jspm inspect shows system dependencies
