## What it is
A Webpack 5 based boilerplate for authoring JavaScript libraries from ES6 or TypeScript sources. It bundles code into a universal UMD format and includes a Jest test setup.

## Use cases
- scaffold a new JavaScript library with webpack
- build a universal UMD library from ES6 sources
- set up a TypeScript library with bundling and tests
- publish an npm library that works in CommonJS, AMD, and browsers
- get a starter template with Jest testing configured

## When to choose
- you are starting a new standalone JavaScript/TypeScript library
- you need output that works across module systems (UMD/CommonJS/AMD)
- you want a minimal, preconfigured webpack + babel + jest setup

## When to avoid
- you are building an application rather than a reusable library
- you prefer modern alternatives like Vite, tsup, or Rollup with newer tooling
- you need a maintained starter with recent updates and active support

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance

- domain: developer-tools, web-development
