binarium

Binarium - Build node binaries with zero config

📖 Description

Package your Node.js project into an executable that can be run even on devices without Node.js installed.

The construction of the binary allows compilation on arm and x64 architecture.

If you compile on an x64 system it will not create the binaries for arm, but if you compile on arm it will create the binaries for both architectures.

This library works thanks to ncc, pkg and esbuild, which facilitate this process.

Using binarium Builder is simple and will work in most cases, but that may not be the case. If so, we recommend using other alternatives such as ncc or pkg.

🔑 Installation

npm install binarium

pnpm add binarium

yarn add binarium

📈 usage

import {build} from 'binarium'

await build( {
 input  : 'src/cli.js', // JS or TS file
 name   : 'app-name', // default is input filename
} )

binarium --input=src/server.js --name=app-name

⚙️ Configuration

All of these options are available with the binarium command by adding the suffix -- and followed by an = and its value.

type BuilderParams = {
 /**
  * The app server input file.
  *
  * The input can be provided without an extension. 
  * If the extension is omitted, the system will automatically look for the following extensions: `.ts`, `.js`, `.mjs`, `.mts`.
  */
 input: string, 
 /**
  * Binary name.
  */
 name?: string,
 /**
  * Directory for the output build.
  *
  * @default './build'
  */
 outDir?: string, 
 /**
  * Build only binary for your current OS.
  *
  * @default false
  */
 onlyOs?: boolean
 /**
  * The build type Result [all|cjs|bin].
  *
  * @default 'all'
  */
 type?: 'all'|'cjs'|'bin'
 
}
