Skip The Build

Speed up local dev by using libraries without building them.

What this is​

skip-the-build is a small utility that lets you switch between two workspace modes:

  • Fast local development by consuming library source directly.
  • Correct CI and production builds that consume built packages.

It does that by enabling Node export conditions when you want them, and leaving your normal build pipeline alone when you do not.

Start here​

  1. Read Workspace Modes for the mental model.
  2. Read How It Works for the mechanics.
  3. Set up Export Conditions in your packages.
  4. Configure the core package in Config and pick Rules or Presets.
  5. Wire it into your toolchain using the adapter docs in the Integrations section.
