esbuild-darwin-arm64
Advanced tools
Package description
The esbuild-darwin-arm64 npm package is a binary package for the esbuild bundler and minifier tool specifically compiled for macOS on ARM64 architecture (Apple Silicon). It allows developers to bundle JavaScript, TypeScript, and CSS files for the web at an extremely fast speed. It also provides minification and tree-shaking capabilities.
Bundling JavaScript and TypeScript
This feature allows you to bundle multiple JavaScript or TypeScript files into a single file, which can then be served to the browser. The bundling process includes dependency resolution and can significantly reduce the number of files that need to be loaded by the browser.
require('esbuild').build({
entryPoints: ['app.js'],
bundle: true,
outfile: 'out.js'
}).catch(() => process.exit(1))
Minifying code
This feature enables the minification of JavaScript and CSS files. Minification removes unnecessary characters from code without changing its functionality, which results in smaller file sizes and faster load times in production.
require('esbuild').build({
entryPoints: ['app.js'],
minify: true,
outfile: 'out.js'
}).catch(() => process.exit(1))
Tree-shaking
Tree-shaking is a feature that removes unused code from the final bundle. It helps in reducing the size of the bundle by excluding code that is not actually used in the application.
require('esbuild').build({
entryPoints: ['app.js'],
bundle: true,
treeShaking: true,
outfile: 'out.js'
}).catch(() => process.exit(1))
Webpack is a powerful module bundler that can transform, bundle, or package just about any resource or asset. It offers a rich plugin interface and is more configurable than esbuild. However, esbuild is known for its speed, which is significantly faster than webpack's.
Rollup is another module bundler for JavaScript which is optimized for bundling libraries. It uses the ES modules standard and is known for producing efficient bundles. While Rollup is typically faster than Webpack, esbuild is still faster than Rollup, especially for larger projects.
Parcel is a web application bundler that offers out-of-the-box support for many web development languages and tools. It requires zero configuration to get started. Parcel is easier to use for beginners compared to esbuild, but esbuild offers a significant speed advantage.
Terser is a JavaScript parser, mangler, and compressor toolkit for ES6+. It's primarily used for minifying JavaScript files. While esbuild also provides minification, terser is a more established tool with a focus on minification and may offer more options in that area.
