In previous chapters, we saw how to create modular, composable, and testable charts using the Reusable API. We demonstrated how that works out for Britecharts and how we can combine its components to create complex data visualizations. We also saw how to test our D3.js charts, creating professional components.

Assuming we followed these steps and have a set of chart components, we face the need for packaging them to distribute our chart library. We want to do it:

• In a performant way (bundled and minified)

• Enabling debugging and providing a great developer experience (source maps, live reload)
