lofi-bundler v1.0.1

lofi-bundler

A simple typescript bundler utility for projects with zero dependencies.

What does it do?

Walk through all files in your project (and only your project, sorry no node_modules or other folders) and concatenates a single copy of all files together in one typescript bundle.

Why?

• Node isn't the only cool guy around, there is this thing called the "browser", and we need an intermediate step (ie, this project's output) to get there.
• Typescript doesn't support anything outside of AMD and System for the browser.
• Because sometimes a project is simple enough, and we'd like to package it for a browser, in addition to node.
• No worrying about babel configs, AMD, or System, just good old-fashioned tscing to a single file, and transform to browser.
• Because I can.

Getting Started

1. install using yarn add lofi-bundler
2. add config to your package.json:

     {
       "config": {
         "lofi-bundler": {
           "entry": "entry-file.ts",
           "target": "target-file.ts",
           "include": "optional-include-file.ts"
         }
       }
     }

3. run the cli lofi-bundler
4. use output ts file... Perhaps as a temporary file to run tsc on?
5. congratulate yourself on going lofi!

API

You can as well use the methods provided from the cli programmatically:

import { traceConcat } from 'logi-bundler';
traceConcat(file)
  .then(src => fs.writeFileSync('bundle.ts', src));

Recipes

This was taken from a project (thaw.js), which is a small utility that can be used in both node and the browser.

{
  scripts: {
    "test": "jest",
    "dist": "tsc --outDir dist",
    "browser": "lofi-bundler; tsc browser.ts --target es5 --module commonjs; rm browser.ts",
    "build": "rm -rf ./dist; npm run dist; git add ./dist; npm run browser"
  }
}

Warnings

• Default exports: Not supported, don't use them. Naming isn't guaranteed.
