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/win32-ia32
Advanced tools
The @esbuild/win32-ia32 npm package is a binary distribution of esbuild for Windows (32-bit) systems. Esbuild is an extremely fast JavaScript bundler and minifier. It compiles TypeScript and JavaScript into code that can run in the browser, and it can bundle many files into a single output file. It's designed to be very fast and efficient.
Bundling JavaScript
This feature allows you to bundle multiple JavaScript files into a single file, which can be useful for reducing the number of HTTP requests needed to load a web page.
require('esbuild').build({
entryPoints: ['app.js'],
bundle: true,
outfile: 'out.js',
}).catch(() => process.exit(1))
Minifying JavaScript
This feature enables the minification of JavaScript code, which reduces file size by removing unnecessary characters without changing its functionality.
require('esbuild').build({
entryPoints: ['app.js'],
minify: true,
outfile: 'out.js',
}).catch(() => process.exit(1))
Transpiling TypeScript
This feature allows you to transpile TypeScript code into JavaScript, making it possible to use TypeScript's features while still targeting environments that only support JavaScript.
require('esbuild').build({
entryPoints: ['app.ts'],
outfile: 'out.js',
}).catch(() => process.exit(1))
Webpack is a powerful module bundler that can transform front-end assets like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It's more configurable than esbuild but generally slower due to its complexity and feature-rich nature.
Parcel is a web application bundler that offers a zero-configuration experience. It's known for its simplicity and speed, but esbuild typically outperforms it in terms of build times.
Rollup is another module bundler for JavaScript which is best known for its tree-shaking capabilities, allowing for the creation of smaller bundles. It's more focused on bundling for libraries and has a different scope compared to esbuild's focus on speed.
Terser is a JavaScript parser, mangler and compressor toolkit for ES6+. It's specifically focused on minification and is often used in conjunction with other bundling tools rather than as a standalone bundler like esbuild.
This is the Windows 32-bit binary for esbuild, a JavaScript bundler and minifier. See https://github.com/evanw/esbuild for details.

Correct this
in field and accessor decorators (#3761)
This release changes the value of this
in initializers for class field and accessor decorators from the module-level this
value to the appropriate this
value for the decorated element (either the class or the instance). It was previously incorrect due to lack of test coverage. Here's an example of a decorator that doesn't work without this change:
const dec = () => function() { this.bar = true }
class Foo { @dec static foo }
console.log(Foo.bar) // Should be "true"
Allow es2023
as a target environment (#3762)
TypeScript recently added es2023
as a compilation target, so esbuild now supports this too. There is no difference between a target of es2022
and es2023
as far as esbuild is concerned since the 2023 edition of JavaScript doesn't introduce any new syntax features.
