Manual packaging for Forge functions and UI Kit modules

You can now package Forge functions and UI Kit modules manually through Forge’s Early Access Program (“EAP”). This allows you to bypass the fixed version of Webpack bundled within the Forge CLI and upload your code directly from specified directories without modification.

What's changing

With manual packaging, you can:

• Use a different compiler or TypeScript version
• Use alternative bundlers (such as Vite or Esbuild) or no bundler at all
• Include and call WebAssembly in your application
• Require data files or depend on packages that do
• Reduce application size by sharing dependencies across multiple functions

What you need to do

Sign up for the EAP using the registration form.
