What are esbuild-linux-arm64's main functionalities?

Bundling

This feature allows you to bundle multiple JavaScript files into a single file. The code sample demonstrates how to bundle an entry file 'src/index.js' into an output file 'dist/bundle.js'.

const esbuild = require('esbuild');

esbuild.build({
  entryPoints: ['src/index.js'],
  bundle: true,
  outfile: 'dist/bundle.js',
}).catch(() => process.exit(1));

Minification

This feature allows you to minify JavaScript files to reduce their size. The code sample shows how to minify an entry file 'src/index.js' and output it as 'dist/bundle.min.js'.

const esbuild = require('esbuild');

esbuild.build({
  entryPoints: ['src/index.js'],
  minify: true,
  outfile: 'dist/bundle.min.js',
}).catch(() => process.exit(1));

TypeScript Support

This feature allows you to bundle TypeScript files. The code sample demonstrates how to bundle a TypeScript entry file 'src/index.ts' into an output file 'dist/bundle.js'.

const esbuild = require('esbuild');

esbuild.build({
  entryPoints: ['src/index.ts'],
  bundle: true,
  outfile: 'dist/bundle.js',
  loader: { '.ts': 'ts' },
}).catch(() => process.exit(1));

CSS Bundling

This feature allows you to bundle CSS files. The code sample shows how to bundle a CSS entry file 'src/styles.css' into an output file 'dist/styles.css'.

const esbuild = require('esbuild');

esbuild.build({
  entryPoints: ['src/styles.css'],
  bundle: true,
  outfile: 'dist/styles.css',
}).catch(() => process.exit(1));
