Kirby Panel Plugin Bundler

kirbyup is a zero-configuration bundler specifically designed for Kirby Panel plugins. It streamlines the development and build process by leveraging Vite internally, providing fast Hot Module Replacement (HMR) during development and optimized production builds. The current stable version is 3.4.1, with active development progressing towards v4.0.0, which introduces significant breaking changes related to Vue 3 migration. Its primary differentiator is its tailored approach for the Kirby CMS ecosystem, abstracting away complex bundler configurations for panel developers and allowing them to focus on plugin logic rather than build tooling. The project exhibits a steady release cadence, marked by regular updates and ongoing alpha releases for its next major version. It supports Node.js environments version 18 and above and ships with TypeScript types, facilitating modern JavaScript and TypeScript development workflows for Kirby plugins.
