Exclude storyblok-js-client from @storyblok/js build

[juusopiikkila]

Description

I am looking to modify the Vite configuration for the @storyblok/js package to ensure that the storyblok-js-client library is not bundled within the distribution build. The intention is to treat storyblok-js-client as an external dependency, which should be loaded separately rather than being included in the final build output.

Suggested solution or improvement

I added storyblok-js-client as an external module and defined a global variable for it to ensure it is not bundled with the distribution. The updated configuration is as follows:

// Updated Rollup Options
rollupOptions: {
  output: {
    globals: {
      'storyblok-js-client': 'StoryblokJSClient',
    },
  },
  external: ['storyblok-js-client'],
}

Additional context

With the new configuration, the expectation is that storyblok-js-client will be referenced as an external resource in projects utilizing @storyblok/js, thereby reducing the bundle size and separating concerns.

Hi @juusopiikkila thanks for the suggestion, it's done by design because the Tree-shaking will only include the resources you need. Feel free to re-open if needed.
