Build

ESbuild is used to compile and bundle the CSS and Js files. Reference the ./src/js/build/build.js file for the entry points and options. Two primary options are used --minify to output minified resources and --watch to watch the ./src and ./templates directory for changes required a rebuild. The build will output versioned js and css files that can be referenced in the build/mix-manifest.json file and is used with Mix to in the Twig layout to load.
