ADDITIONAL CONTRIBUTION TO SFCC COMMUNITY

Contrubuted To Salesforce Codebase (sfra-webpack-builder)

Link: github.com/SalesforceCommerceCloud/sfra-webpack-builder The latest architecture that is been used in SFCC is SFRA, The standardized tool that is used to compile the SFRA Codebase is SFRA Webpack Builder.

My contribution to this awesome tool was building a feature that allows us to exclude js files from the build that allows projects that are using multiple SFCC Architecture i.e. SG, SFRA, this addition just allows more granular control over the files.

Feature Exclude JS from Build Overview:

This feature aims to exclude specific files from the Webpack build process, reducing conflicts. and also provide more use cases to use copy config to copy JavaScript files from the client to the 'static' directory. By adding this feature, we can enhance the developer experience, improve plugin and cartridge compatibility, and streamline the development process. Addition Details about the Feature:
