Javascript Binary Bundles

Why Binary Bundles? For faster loading time due to fewer requests and an optimised binary format, closely compatible with Javascript internals. It is optimised in balance between size and performance, preferring performance when in doubt.

With JBB you can load all of your project's resources in a node.js instance and then serialize them in a single file. You can then load this file instead.

Usage - Loading Bundles

Download the minified run-time library and include it in your project:

<script src="js/jbb.min.js"></script>

You can then load your bundles like this:

var loader = new JBB.BinaryLoader("path/to/bundles");
loader.add("bundle_name.jbb");
loader.load(function(error, database) {
    // Handle your data 
});

Using npm

JBB is also available on npm. Both compiler and run-time library is available in the same package:

npm install --save jbb

You can then load your bundles like this:

var JBBBinaryLoader = require('jbb/decoder');

var loader = new JBBBinaryLoader("path/to/bundles");
loader.add("bundle_name.jbb");
loader.load(function(error, database) {
    // Handle your data 
});

Usage - Creating Bundles

After you have collected your resources in a source bundle you can then compile it using the gulp-jbb plugin.

In your gulpfile.js:

var gulp = require('gulp');
var jbb  = require('gulp-jbb');

// Compile jbb task
gulp.task('jbb', function() {
  return gulp
    .src([ "your_bundle.jbbsrc" ])
    .pipe(jbb({
      profile: [ "profile-1", "profile-2" ]
    }))
    .pipe(gulp.dest( "build/bundles" ));
});
