@esbuild/win32-arm64

What is @esbuild/win32-arm64?

The @esbuild/win32-arm64 npm package is a binary package for the esbuild bundler optimized for Windows on ARM64 architectures. Esbuild is a fast JavaScript bundler and minifier. It compiles TypeScript and JavaScript into efficient code that can be executed in the browser or on Node.js. This package specifically targets the Windows ARM64 platform, providing native performance improvements.

What are @esbuild/win32-arm64's main functionalities?

JavaScript and TypeScript bundling

This feature allows you to bundle multiple JavaScript or 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))

Minification

This feature enables the minification of JavaScript files to reduce their size for production. The code sample shows how to minify an entry file 'app.js' into a smaller output file 'out.js'.

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

Transpiling

This feature allows for the transpilation of TypeScript files into JavaScript, making it possible to use TypeScript in environments that only support JavaScript. The code sample demonstrates transpiling a TypeScript file 'app.ts' into a JavaScript file 'out.js'.

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

Other packages similar to @esbuild/win32-arm64

webpack

Webpack is a popular JavaScript module bundler with a rich ecosystem of plugins and loaders. It offers similar functionality to esbuild, such as bundling, minification, and transpilation. However, esbuild is known for its speed, often being significantly faster than Webpack, especially for larger projects.

rollup

Rollup is another module bundler for JavaScript which focuses on producing smaller bundles by eliminating unused code. It is similar to esbuild in terms of its bundling capabilities and support for plugins. While Rollup is generally faster than Webpack, esbuild typically outperforms Rollup in terms of build speed.

parcel

Parcel is a web application bundler that offers out-of-the-box support for many web development languages and frameworks, with zero configuration required. It provides similar functionalities to esbuild, including fast bundling and built-in support for various file types. Parcel is known for its ease of use, but esbuild usually has a performance advantage.

Changelog

0.25.10

• Fix a panic in a minification edge case (#4287)

  This release fixes a panic due to a null pointer that could happen when esbuild inlines a doubly-nested identity function and the final result is empty. It was fixed by emitting the value undefined in this case, which avoids the panic. This case must be rare since it hasn't come up until now. Here is an example of code that previously triggered the panic (which only happened when minifying):

  function identity(x) { return x }
  identity({ y: identity(123) })
  

• Fix @supports nested inside pseudo-element (#4265)

  When transforming nested CSS to non-nested CSS, esbuild is supposed to filter out pseudo-elements such as ::placeholder for correctness. The CSS nesting specification says the following:

  The nesting selector cannot represent pseudo-elements (identical to the behavior of the ':is()' pseudo-class). We’d like to relax this restriction, but need to do so simultaneously for both ':is()' and '&', since they’re intentionally built on the same underlying mechanisms.

  However, it seems like this behavior is different for nested at-rules such as @supports, which do work with pseudo-elements. So this release modifies esbuild's behavior to now take that into account:

  /* Original code */
  ::placeholder {
    color: red;
    body & { color: green }
    @supports (color: blue) { color: blue }
  }
  
  /* Old output (with --supported:nesting=false) */
  ::placeholder {
    color: red;
  }
  body :is() {
    color: green;
  }
  @supports (color: blue) {
     {
      color: blue;
    }
  }
  
  /* New output (with --supported:nesting=false) */
  ::placeholder {
    color: red;
  }
  body :is() {
    color: green;
  }
  @supports (color: blue) {
    ::placeholder {
      color: blue;
    }
  }
