Deployment Overview

Deploy your external library so ReAPI can load it.

Deployment Options

Quick Comparison

Requirements

All deployment methods produce the same output:

dist/
├── build.umd.js      # IIFE/UMD bundle (required)
└── build.d.ts        # TypeScript types (optional)

Bundle Requirements

• Format: IIFE or UMD (not ESM)
• Global: Must expose a global variable
• CORS: URL must allow cross-origin requests
• HTTPS: Production URLs should use HTTPS

Build Output

The template generates both files:

npm run build
 
# Output:
# dist/build.umd.js  (123 KB)
# dist/build.d.ts    (4 KB)

Verify the Bundle

// Check global is exposed
// dist/build.umd.js should contain:
var MyTestLib = (function() {
  // ... bundled code
  return {
    $$AssertionFunctions: [...],
    $$ValueFunctions: [...],
    // ...
  };
})();
