@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

0.19.12

• The "preserve" JSX mode now preserves JSX text verbatim (#3605)

  The JSX specification deliberately doesn't specify how JSX text is supposed to be interpreted and there is no canonical way to interpret JSX text. Two most popular interpretations are Babel and TypeScript. Yes they are different (esbuild deliberately follows TypeScript by the way).

  Previously esbuild normalized text to the TypeScript interpretation when the "preserve" JSX mode is active. However, "preserve" should arguably reproduce the original JSX text verbatim so that whatever JSX transform runs after esbuild is free to interpret it however it wants. So with this release, esbuild will now pass JSX text through unmodified:

  // Original code
  let el =
    <a href={'/'} title='&apos;&quot;'> some text
      {foo}
        more text </a>
  
  // Old output (with --loader=jsx --jsx=preserve)
  let el = <a href="/" title={`'"`}>
    {" some text"}
    {foo}
    {"more text "}
  </a>;
  
  // New output (with --loader=jsx --jsx=preserve)
  let el = <a href={"/"} title='&apos;&quot;'> some text
      {foo}
        more text </a>;
  

• Allow JSX elements as JSX attribute values

  JSX has an obscure feature where you can use JSX elements in attribute position without surrounding them with {...}. It looks like this:

  let el = <div data-ab=<><a/><b/></>/>;
  

  I think I originally didn't implement it even though it's part of the JSX specification because it previously didn't work in TypeScript (and potentially also in Babel?). However, support for it was silently added in TypeScript 4.8 without me noticing and Babel has also since fixed their bugs regarding this feature. So I'm adding it to esbuild too now that I know it's widely supported.

  Keep in mind that there is some ongoing discussion about removing this feature from JSX. I agree that the syntax seems out of place (it does away with the elegance of "JSX is basically just XML with {...} escapes" for something arguably harder to read, which doesn't seem like a good trade-off), but it's in the specification and TypeScript and Babel both implement it so I'm going to have esbuild implement it too. However, I reserve the right to remove it from esbuild if it's ever removed from the specification in the future. So use it with caution.

• Fix a bug with TypeScript type parsing (#3574)

  This release fixes a bug with esbuild's TypeScript parser where a conditional type containing a union type that ends with an infer type that ends with a constraint could fail to parse. This was caused by the "don't parse a conditional type" flag not getting passed through the union type parser. Here's an example of valid TypeScript code that previously failed to parse correctly:

  type InferUnion<T> = T extends { a: infer U extends number } | infer U extends number ? U : never
