create ready to use bundle

[quarkus]

I would like to be able to use element-js via cdn (unpkg i.E.) for rapid prototyping.

This is not as easy as I thought...

All the known CDNs only serve from the normal npm registry and don't have a mechanism to change the registry. Since we are hosting our packages on the https://npm.pkg.github.com/ registry we currently cannot simply use those tools.

I have requested feedback for unpkg and jsdelivr:

mjackson/unpkg#277
jsdelivr/jsdelivr#18261

another option could be to host unpkg ourselfs (mjackson/unpkg#216) - but I'd rather not..

A solution that we could use for the time being is manually generating the /dist folder locally and pushing it up. If the /dist folder was inside the git repository we could fetch the files via jsDelivr like so:
https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/webtides/[email protected]/src/

But I'm pretty sure that this would be quite error-prone...

As mentioned in the comment above, I have a "solution" in https://github.com/webtides/element-js/compare/feature/dist-bundle

The GitHub action will run the "npm run build" script and push it back to the main branch. With this in place we would be able to read the /dist bundles via https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/webtides/[email protected]/dist/

The only problem with this is that we will only be able to read from @latest and not from specific tags. This is because the action will always run after the tagged commit...

But it would work in theory! See: https://codepen.io/eddyloewen/full/abZdNaj

If you go this way, I recommend tagging sources as v0.4.0-source on the main branch and then pushing dist to a separate branch, and tagging that as v0.4.0.

Yeah! That is a good idea 👍 But I think I would then prefer to not use the GitHub package registry and instead use the NPM registry.

Yes, that sounds better.
