A fork of @tweakpane/plugin-essentials with build optimizations.
npm install @kitschpatrol/tweakpane-plugin-essentials
**This is a fork of Hiroki Kokubun's @tweakpane/plugin-essentials
with externalized dependencies.**
This allows for smaller bundled file sizes in projects using multiple Tweakpane plugins.
It is published to NPM primarily for the _Svelte Tweakpane UI_ project, and will be kept in sync with the upstream version of the plugin, with minimal changes other than dependency externalization.
It also incorporates a fix for a CubicBezier performance issue.
For most use cases, you probably don't want this fork!
The Rollup configuration provided in the Tweakpane plugin template does not externalize @tweakpane/core as a production dependency.
Instead, it gets built into the single-file plugin artifact, which is what's published to NPM and imported by plugin consumers. This makes it easy to import as an ES module from a URL, but means that larger projects importing multiple Tweakpane plugins end up with duplicate copies of the @tweakpane/core code, adding about ~100 Kb to the final minified build for each plugin after the first.
Externalizing this dependency allows build tools like vite to share a single instance of the @tweakpane/core code across multiple plugins.
If you're not using a bundler, direct ESM imports from URLs can still work by defining the @tweakpane/core dependency in an importmap.
Note the package's name change from @tweakpane/plugin-essentials to @kitschpatrol/tweakpane-plugin-essentials.
PNPM is used as the package manager.
In addition to the dependency externalization change, this fork also includes assorted dependency updates. In an effort to stay in sync with future upstream versions, intra-minor-version releases of the fork are tagged as "betas" of what would / will be the next patch release upstream.
