Hi!
With the recent final release of Page previews (Extension:Popups), we have
also published a series of technical blog posts about the frontend tooling
that we have used for developing this extension.
Master post: Extension:Popups (Page Previews) front-end tooling
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/phame/post/view/93/extension_popups_page_previews_front-end_tooling/>
Table of contents:
- Automatic JavaScript file bundling and library consumption
- Better minification for frontend sources
- Fast and isolated JS unit tests
- Conclusions
We hope this is interesting to read and hopefully useful to other teams or
projects working on products with complex front-end needs.
We're more than happy to chat about these topics, or help you with these
kind of workflows if you are interested.
Have a nice day!
