Let’s talk a bit about it microbundle. I find it particularly effective for simple libraries because you don’t have to worry about configuration, allowing you to focus on developing your package.

Here is a short list of its features:

Built-in configs; all you have to do is add an “exports” field in package.json

TypeScript support out of the box without tsconfig.json

Multiple output formats (CJS, UMD, and ESM)

Built-in Terser compression
