Riot with Rollup

This is a simple example for showing how to use Riot with Rollup.

• Site: http://rollupjs.org
• Docs: https://github.com/rollup/rollup/wiki
• rollup-plugin-riot: https://github.com/riot/rollup-plugin-riot

Run locally

Install superstatic if you don't have.

$ npm install -g superstatic

Download or clone this repo, then run the command.

$ cd to/this/dir
$ npm install
$ npm run build
$ superstatic

Open the URL shown in your browser.

npm and babel

The code in this example is written in ES6 syntax. Rollup is an module bundler for ES6. Typically, we use these plugins. See detail:

• rollup-plugin-babel: outputs ES5
• rollup-plugin-npm: loads modules in node_modules
• rollup-plugin-commonjs: converts CommonJS to ES6

Use imported modules

In this example, marked is used for transforming markdown into html.

import marked from 'marked'

<md>
  <script>
    this.root.innerHTML = opts.content ? marked(opts.content) : ''
  </script>
</md>

Note: the code below doesn't work. We should declare the module outside the tag definition.

<md>
  <script>
    // This line causes an error while compiling!
    import marked from 'marked'

    this.root.innerHTML = opts.content ? marked(opts.content) : ''
  </script>
</md>

Watch

Watch the change of the files:

$ npm run watch
