@esbuild/linux-arm64

What is @esbuild/linux-arm64?

The @esbuild/linux-arm64 npm package is a binary package for the esbuild bundler and minifier tool. It is specifically compiled for Linux systems running on ARM64 architecture. Esbuild is a fast JavaScript bundler and minifier that compiles TypeScript, JavaScript, and JSX files into a single file for use in web applications.

What are @esbuild/linux-arm64's main functionalities?

Bundling JavaScript files

This code sample demonstrates how to bundle multiple JavaScript files into a single file using esbuild.

require('esbuild').build({
  entryPoints: ['app.js'],
  bundle: true,
  outfile: 'out.js'
}).catch(() => process.exit(1))

Minifying JavaScript

This code sample shows how to minify a JavaScript file, reducing its size for production deployment.

require('esbuild').build({
  entryPoints: ['app.js'],
  minify: true,
  outfile: 'app.min.js'
}).catch(() => process.exit(1))

Transpiling TypeScript

This code sample illustrates how to transpile TypeScript files into JavaScript using esbuild.

require('esbuild').build({
  entryPoints: ['app.ts'],
  bundle: true,
  outfile: 'app.js'
}).catch(() => process.exit(1))

Transforming JSX

This code sample demonstrates how to transform JSX syntax into JavaScript, which is useful for React applications.

require('esbuild').build({
  entryPoints: ['app.jsx'],
  bundle: true,
  outfile: 'app.js',
  loader: { '.jsx': 'jsx' }
}).catch(() => process.exit(1))

Other packages similar to @esbuild/linux-arm64

webpack

Webpack is a popular JavaScript module bundler with a large ecosystem of plugins. It is more configurable than esbuild but generally slower due to its more complex features and plugin system.

rollup

Rollup is another module bundler that is well-suited for creating libraries and applications. It focuses on producing smaller bundles through tree-shaking, but it is not as fast as esbuild.

parcel

Parcel is a web application bundler that offers a zero-configuration setup. It is known for its ease of use and fast build times, but esbuild typically outperforms it in terms of speed.

terser

Terser is a JavaScript parser, mangler, and compressor toolkit for ES6+. It is commonly used for minifying JavaScript code, similar to esbuild's minification feature, but does not bundle files.

Changelog

0.25.8

• Fix another TypeScript parsing edge case (#4248)

  This fixes a regression with a change in the previous release that tries to more accurately parse TypeScript arrow functions inside the ?: operator. The regression specifically involves parsing an arrow function containing a #private identifier inside the middle of a ?: ternary operator inside a class body. This was fixed by propagating private identifier state into the parser clone used to speculatively parse the arrow function body. Here is an example of some affected code:

  class CachedDict {
    #has = (a: string) => dict.has(a);
    has = window
      ? (word: string): boolean => this.#has(word)
      : this.#has;
  }
  

• Fix a regression with the parsing of source phase imports

  The change in the previous release to parse source phase imports failed to properly handle the following cases:

  import source from 'bar'
  import source from from 'bar'
  import source type foo from 'bar'
  

  Parsing for these cases should now be fixed. The first case was incorrectly treated as a syntax error because esbuild was expecting the second case. And the last case was previously allowed but is now forbidden. TypeScript hasn't added this feature yet so it remains to be seen whether the last case will be allowed, but it's safer to disallow it for now. At least Babel doesn't allow the last case when parsing TypeScript, and Babel was involved with the source phase import specification.
