#Common Terminology

#manifest.json

When your project integrates with plugins provided by Rsdoctor (such as @rsdoctor/webpack-plugin, etc.), Rsdoctor will write build-related data information into a local JSON file:

• The filename is manifest.json
• The output path is project output directory/.rsdoctor/manifest.json

#Artifact Terminology Definitions

#assets (Resources | Artifact Files)

Definition:
Refers to all static files in the project, such as images, fonts, CSS, JS, SVG, etc. They are files that are output to the target directory after build and will eventually be loaded and used by the browser.

Examples:

• logo.png, main.css, app.js are all assets.

#chunk

Definition:
Rspack will package multiple modules (JS, CSS, etc.) into one or more files, and these files are bundles. A chunk may contain multiple Assets, for example: a chunk named index may contain two artifacts: index.js and index.css.

#module

Definition:
In Rspack, any file can be considered a module. The most common are JS modules (via import or require), but they can also be CSS, images, etc. Modules are the smallest units in the build process, and Rspack organizes them through a dependency graph. Assets are composed of collections of Modules.

Examples:

• Third-party files or source files, such as index.js, button.js, style.css, are all modules. These files are not artifact files, but they participate in the packaging process of artifact files and may eventually be packaged into artifact files.
