The Unpaid Backbone of Open Source: Solo Maintainers Face Increasing Security Demands
Solo open source maintainers face burnout and security challenges, with 60% unpaid and 60% considering quitting.
@esbuild/linux-x64
Advanced tools
The @esbuild/linux-x64 npm package is a pre-compiled binary of esbuild for Linux x64 systems. Esbuild is an extremely fast JavaScript bundler and minifier. It compiles JavaScript and TypeScript code, bundling it together for use in the browser. It can also minify CSS. This package is specifically built to run on Linux x64 environments, providing a seamless experience for developers working on these systems.
JavaScript and TypeScript bundling
This feature allows you to bundle JavaScript and TypeScript files into a single file. The code sample demonstrates how to bundle an entry file named 'app.js' into an output file named 'out.js'.
require('esbuild').build({
entryPoints: ['app.js'],
bundle: true,
outfile: 'out.js',
}).catch(() => process.exit(1))
Minifying JavaScript
This feature enables the minification of JavaScript files to reduce their size for production. The code sample shows how to minify a JavaScript file named 'app.js' into a smaller file named 'out.min.js'.
require('esbuild').build({
entryPoints: ['app.js'],
minify: true,
outfile: 'out.min.js',
}).catch(() => process.exit(1))
CSS bundling and minification
Esbuild can also bundle and minify CSS files. This code sample demonstrates bundling and minifying a CSS file named 'app.css' into 'out.css'.
require('esbuild').build({
entryPoints: ['app.css'],
bundle: true,
minify: true,
outfile: 'out.css',
}).catch(() => process.exit(1))
Webpack is a powerful module bundler for JavaScript applications. It offers a wide range of plugins and loaders to transform and bundle assets. Compared to @esbuild/linux-x64, webpack is more configurable but generally slower in terms of build time.
Rollup is another JavaScript module bundler that focuses on producing smaller bundles by eliminating unused code. It is particularly well-suited for libraries. Rollup is more similar to esbuild in terms of speed but does not match esbuild's raw performance.
Parcel is a web application bundler that offers out-of-the-box support for many web development languages and frameworks. It is known for its zero-configuration approach. Parcel provides a good balance between speed and ease of use but is generally slower than esbuild.
This is the Linux 64-bit binary for esbuild, a JavaScript bundler and minifier. See https://github.com/evanw/esbuild for details.
0.21.5
Fix Symbol.metadata
on classes without a class decorator (#3781)
This release fixes a bug with esbuild's support for the decorator metadata proposal. Previously esbuild only added the Symbol.metadata
property to decorated classes if there was a decorator on the class element itself. However, the proposal says that the Symbol.metadata
property should be present on all classes that have any decorators at all, not just those with a decorator on the class element itself.
Allow unknown import attributes to be used with the copy
loader (#3792)
Import attributes (the with
keyword on import
statements) are allowed to alter how that path is loaded. For example, esbuild cannot assume that it knows how to load ./bagel.js
as type bagel
:
// This is an error with "--bundle" without also using "--external:./bagel.js"
import tasty from "./bagel.js" with { type: "bagel" }
Because of that, bundling this code with esbuild is an error unless the file ./bagel.js
is external to the bundle (such as with --bundle --external:./bagel.js
).
However, there is an additional case where it's ok for esbuild to allow this: if the file is loaded using the copy
loader. That's because the copy
loader behaves similarly to --external
in that the file is left external to the bundle. The difference is that the copy
loader copies the file into the output folder and rewrites the import path while --external
doesn't. That means the following will now work with the copy
loader (such as with --bundle --loader:.bagel=copy
):
// This is no longer an error with "--bundle" and "--loader:.bagel=copy"
import tasty from "./tasty.bagel" with { type: "bagel" }
Support import attributes with glob-style imports (#3797)
This release adds support for import attributes (the with
option) to glob-style imports (dynamic imports with certain string literal patterns as paths). These imports previously didn't support import attributes due to an oversight. So code like this will now work correctly:
async function loadLocale(locale: string): Locale {
const data = await import(`./locales/${locale}.data`, { with: { type: 'json' } })
return unpackLocale(locale, data)
}
Previously this didn't work even though esbuild normally supports forcing the JSON loader using an import attribute. Attempting to do this used to result in the following error:
✘ [ERROR] No loader is configured for ".data" files: locales/en-US.data
example.ts:2:28:
2 │ const data = await import(`./locales/${locale}.data`, { with: { type: 'json' } })
╵ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In addition, this change means plugins can now access the contents of with
for glob-style imports.
Support ${configDir}
in tsconfig.json
files (#3782)
This adds support for a new feature from the upcoming TypeScript 5.5 release. The character sequence ${configDir}
is now respected at the start of baseUrl
and paths
values, which are used by esbuild during bundling to correctly map import paths to file system paths. This feature lets base tsconfig.json
files specified via extends
refer to the directory of the top-level tsconfig.json
file. Here is an example:
{
"compilerOptions": {
"paths": {
"js/*": ["${configDir}/dist/js/*"]
}
}
}
You can read more in TypeScript's blog post about their upcoming 5.5 release. Note that this feature does not make use of template literals (you need to use "${configDir}/dist/js/*"
not `${configDir}/dist/js/*`
). The syntax for tsconfig.json
is still just JSON with comments, and JSON syntax does not allow template literals. This feature only recognizes ${configDir}
in strings for certain path-like properties, and only at the beginning of the string.
Fix internal error with --supported:object-accessors=false
(#3794)
This release fixes a regression in 0.21.0 where some code that was added to esbuild's internal runtime library of helper functions for JavaScript decorators fails to parse when you configure esbuild with --supported:object-accessors=false
. The reason is that esbuild introduced code that does { get [name]() {} }
which uses both the object-extensions
feature for the [name]
and the object-accessors
feature for the get
, but esbuild was incorrectly only checking for object-extensions
and not for object-accessors
. Additional tests have been added to avoid this type of issue in the future. A workaround for this issue in earlier releases is to also add --supported:object-extensions=false
.
