To make it easier for Facebook to share and consume our own JavaScript. Primarily this will allow us to ship code without worrying too much about where it lives, keeping with the spirit of @providesModule
but working in the broader JavaScript ecosystem.
Note: If you are consuming the code here and you are not also a Facebook project, be prepared for a bad time. APIs may appear or disappear and we may not follow semver strictly, though we will do our best to. This library is being published with our use cases in mind and is not necessarily meant to be consumed by the broader public. In order for us to move fast and ship projects like React and Relay, we've made the decision to not support everybody. We probably won't take your feature requests unless they align with our needs. There will be overlap in functionality here and in other open source projects.
Any @providesModule
modules that are used by your project should be added to src/
. They will be built and added to module-map.json
. This file will contain a map from @providesModule
name to what will be published as fbjs
. The module-map.json
file can then be consumed in your own project, along with the rewrite-modules Babel plugin (which we'll publish with this), to rewrite requires in your own project. Then, just make sure fbjs
is a dependency in your package.json
and your package will consume the shared code.
// Before transform
const emptyFunction = require('emptyFunction');
// After transform
const emptyFunction = require('fbjs/lib/emptyFunction');
See React for an example of this. Coming soon!
It's as easy as just running gulp. This assumes you've also done npm install -g gulp
.
gulp
Alternatively npm run build
will also work.
Right now these packages represent a subset of packages that we use internally at Facebook. Mostly these are support libraries used when shipping larger libraries, like React and Relay, or products. Each of these packages is in its own directory under src/
.
Since we use @providesModule
, we need to rewrite requires to be relative. Thanks to @providesModule
requiring global uniqueness, we can do this easily. Eventually we'll try to make this part of the process go away by making more projects use CommonJS.
