Bayrell Bundler for Node.js

0.10.11 verified Sat Apr 25 auth: no javascript maintenance

Bayrell Bundler for Node.js (v0.10.11) is a module bundler designed for the Bayrell ecosystem, focusing on packaging JavaScript/TypeScript code into optimized bundles. It is part of the Bayrell project and primarily supports Node.js environments. The package has a low release cadence (last release Oct 2020) and limited documentation. Compared to mainstream bundlers like Webpack or Rollup, it is specialized for Bayrell-specific workflows and may not be suitable for general-purpose bundling.

Quickstart

Demonstrates creating a bundle config and running the bundler with an entry point and output path.

import BayrellBundler, { BundleConfig } from 'bayrell-bundler-nodejs';

const config = new BundleConfig();
config.entry = './src/index.js';
config.output = './dist/bundle.js';

const bundler = new BayrellBundler(config);
bundler.bundle().then(() => console.log('Bundled successfully!')).catch(err => console.error(err));
