Expose programmatic Node.JS API

[mjames-c]

Description

My company is in the process of spiking React Native builds using Re.pack. As part of exposing this to product devs we want to provide a custom TypeScript CLI which includes custom entry point resolution among other things. For example:

  const argv = yargs
    .option('entry', {
      type: 'string',
      demandOption: true,
      description: 'Path to the entry .ts/.tsx file',
    })
    .option('platform', {
      type: 'string',
      demandOption: true,
      choices: ['ios', 'android'] as const,
      description: 'Target platform',
    })
    // ...

Currently Re.pack doesn't provide a programatic API for starting the dev server and passing it a POJO config object. We would love if it did! (similar to what Rspack and Webpack provide).

@mjames-c seems possible

I wonder though if you could call the rspack commands with the repack config? Have you tried something like that?

@dannyhw thanks for the quick response. i've spoken to the project lead and he's going to give it a go.
