# Rspack Best Practices

Apply these rules when writing or reviewing Rspack projects.

## Configuration

- Use `rspack.config.ts` and `defineConfig`
- Define explicit `entry` values for multi-page applications
- Keep one main config and branch by `process.env.NODE_ENV` only when needed
- Keep rule conditions narrow and explicit (`test`, `include`, `exclude`, `resourceQuery`)
- Prefer built-in Rspack plugins/loaders over community JS alternatives when equivalent features exist

## CLI

If `@rspack/cli` is installed:

- Use `rspack dev` for local development
- Use `rspack build` for production build
- Use `rspack preview` only for local production preview

## Type checking

- Use `ts-checker-rspack-plugin` for integrated dev/build type checks
- Or run `tsc --noEmit`/`vue-tsc --noEmit` as an explicit script step

## CSS

Choose one strategy:

- Built-in CSS (`type: 'css' | 'css/auto' | 'css/module'`) for modern setups
- `css-loader` + `CssExtractRspackPlugin` for webpack migration compatibility
- `style-loader` for pure style-in-JS runtime injection scenarios

Optional:

- Use `builtin:lightningcss-loader` when goals are syntax downgrade + vendor prefixing
- Use `sass-loader`/`less-loader` for preprocessing Sass/Less files
- Use `@tailwindcss/webpack` for Tailwind CSS integration

## Bundle size optimization

- Prefer dynamic `import()` for non-critical code paths
- Prefer lightweight libraries where possible
- Keep `target` aligned with real compatibility requirements

## Asset management

- Import source-managed assets from project source directories, not from `public`
- Reference `public` files by absolute URL path
- Prefer asset modules (`asset`, `asset/resource`, `asset/inline`, `asset/source`) over legacy `file-loader`/`url-loader`/`raw-loader`

## Profiling

- Use Node CPU profiling (`--cpu-prof`) when JavaScript-side overhead is suspected
- Use `RSPACK_PROFILE=OVERVIEW` and analyze trace output for compiler-phase bottlenecks
- Replace known slow stacks first (`babel-loader`, PostCSS, terser) with Rspack built-ins when feasible

## Security

- Do not publish `.map` files to public servers/CDNs when production source maps are enabled

## Documentation

- For the latest (v2) docs, read http://rspack.rs/llms.txt
- For Rspack v1 docs, read http://v1.rspack.rs/llms.txt

generating-lwc-components

Included

Lightning Web Components with PICKLES methodology and 165-point scoring. Use this skill when the user creates or edits LWC components, builds wire service patterns, or writes Jest tests for LWC. TRIGGER when: user creates/edits LWC components, touches lwc/**/*.js, .html, .css, .js-meta.xml files, or asks about wire service, SLDS, or Jest LWC tests. DO NOT TRIGGER when: Apex classes (use generating-apex), Aura components, or Visualforce.

tanstack-query

Included

Manage server state in React with TanStack Query v5. Set up queries with useQuery, mutations with useMutation, configure QueryClient caching strategies, implement optimistic updates, and handle infinite scroll with useInfiniteQuery. Use when: setting up data fetching in React projects, migrating from v4 to v5, or fixing object syntax required errors, query callbacks removed issues, cacheTime renamed to gcTime, isPending vs isLoading confusion, keepPreviousData removed problems.

document-processor-api

Included

Process documents with Nutrient DWS. Use when the user wants to generate PDFs from HTML or URLs, convert Office/images/PDFs, assemble or split packets, OCR scans, extract text/tables/key-value pairs, redact PII, watermark, sign, fill forms, optimize PDFs, or produce compliance outputs like PDF/A or PDF/UA. Triggers include convert to PDF, merge these PDFs, OCR this scan, extract tables, redact PII, sign this PDF, make this PDF/A, or linearize for web delivery.
