As we worked on [React 16](/blog/2017/09/26/react-v16.0.html), we revamped the folder structure and much of the build tooling in the React repository. Among other things, we introduced projects such as [Rollup](https://github.com/rollup/rollups), [Prettier](https://prettier.io/), and [Google Closure Compiler](https://developers.google.com/closure/compiler/) into our workflow. People often ask us questions about how we use those tools. In this post, we would like to share some of the changes that we've made to our build and test infrastructure in 2017, and what motivated them.

While these changes helped us make React better, they don't affect most React users directly. However, we hope that blogging about them might help other library authors solve similar problems. Our contributors might also find these notes helpful!
