# @pika/plugin-standard-pkg

> A [@pika/pack](https://github.com/pikapkg/pack) build plugin.
> Builds your package source as standard, ES2018 JavaScript. Supports TypeScript. Supports experimental language features via Babel.

> *Note: If your package is written in TypeScript, check out `@pika/plugin-ts-standard-pkg` which uses TypeScript internally to build your package instead of Babel.*

## Result

Unlike other build plugins, this plugin reads directly from your package `src/` directory. Make sure your code exists in a `src/` directory, with an `src/index.js` or `src/index.ts` file as the package entrypoint.

Other build plugins will depend on this standard ES2018 distribution, so include this plugin early in your build pipeline for others to use.

1. Adds a modern ES2018 distribution to your built package: `dist-src/`
  1. TypeScript supported automatically.
  1. Experimental ESNext JavaScript features are handled via your existing Babel config (`.babelrc` or similar.)
1. Adds an "esnext" entrypoint to your built `package.json` manifest.
