esbuild FreeBSD ARM64 binary

0.0.2035 verified Fri May 01 auth: no javascript

Platform-specific package providing the esbuild binary for FreeBSD ARM64 systems. Part of esbuild, an ultra-fast JavaScript bundler and minifier written in Go. Current stable version follows esbuild releases (e.g., v0.28.0). Key differentiators: orders of magnitude faster than Webpack/Parcel due to parallelism and zero-config defaults. This package is automatically installed as an optional dependency of the main esbuild package on FreeBSD ARM64; it is not meant to be installed directly.

Common errors

error Module not found: Can't resolve 'esbuild' ↓

cause The main esbuild package is not installed.

fix

Run npm install esbuild.

error Error: The package 'esbuild' was not found. Either install it or try a different platform. ↓

cause You tried to run esbuild on a platform without a binary; possible missing optional dependency.

fix

Ensure platform is supported; install esbuild again with npm install esbuild.

Warnings

gotcha Do not install this package directly; it is an optional dependency of esbuild and will be automatically installed on appropriate platforms. ↓

fix Install the main `esbuild` package instead.

breaking Breaking changes are introduced in minor version bumps (e.g., v0.27.0, v0.26.0). Pin exact version or use `~` range to avoid automatic upgrades. ↓

fix In package.json, set `"esbuild": "0.27.7"` or use `~0.27.0`.

gotcha Platform-specific binary packages (like this one) are npm-installed as optional dependencies. If your OS is not FreeBSD ARM64, this package will not be installed. ↓

fix No action needed; just install esbuild.

breaking ESM-only API since esbuild v0.14.0; `require('esbuild')` may work but synchronous calls are deprecated. ↓

fix Use `import` syntax or dynamic `import('esbuild')` for async calls.

deprecated `buildSync` and `transformSync` are synchronous and block the event loop; consider using async alternatives. ↓

fix Use `build` and `transform` (async) instead.

Install

npm install esbuild-freebsd-arm64-for-imba

yarn add esbuild-freebsd-arm64-for-imba

pnpm add esbuild-freebsd-arm64-for-imba

Imports

esbuild (binary)

```
npm install esbuild-freebsd-arm64-for-imba
```

```
node node_modules/esbuild/install.js

This package is a platform-specific binary; do not install directly. The main esbuild package will automatically select the correct binary.

build (API)

wrong

import { build } from 'esbuild-freebsd-arm64-for-imba'

correct

import { build } from 'esbuild'

Import from the main esbuild package, not the platform binary.

transform (API)

wrong

const { transform } = require('esbuild-freebsd-arm64-for-imba')

correct

const { transform } = require('esbuild')

Use CommonJS require on the main esbuild package.

Quickstart

Install esbuild and bundle an entry point producing a single output file.

// Install esbuild; platform binary is auto-selected.
npm install esbuild

// Then use the API:
import { build } from 'esbuild';

await build({
  entryPoints: ['app.js'],
  bundle: true,
  outfile: 'out.js',
});

// Or use the CLI:
// npx esbuild app.js --bundle --outfile=out.js
