esbuild Windows 64-bit binary

0.0.2035 verified Fri May 01 auth: no javascript

The Windows 64-bit native binary for esbuild, a fast JavaScript bundler and minifier. This package is part of esbuild's platform-specific distribution (version 0.27.x series, latest v0.28.0). It is installed automatically by the main `esbuild` package when running on Windows x64. Key differentiators: written in Go for extreme speed (10-100x faster than webpack/rollup), built-in bundling, minification, TypeScript/JSX transpilation, and CSS bundling. No dependencies required; the main `esbuild` package uses this as an optional dependency.

Common errors

error Module not found: Can't resolve 'esbuild-windows-64' ↓

fix

Change import to 'esbuild'.

cause Trying to install this package on a non-Windows system.

fix

Remove this package and rely on the main 'esbuild' package, which will install the correct binary for your platform.

error error: No matching export in "node_modules/esbuild-windows-64/package.json" for import "default" ↓

Warnings

gotcha Do NOT import from this package directly. ↓

fix Import from the main 'esbuild' package instead.

breaking esbuild v0.27.0 introduced breaking changes. Pin exact version or use range ^0.26.0 to avoid automatic major upgrades. ↓

fix Use strict version pinning in package.json: "esbuild": "0.27.0"

gotcha This package is only for Windows x64. It will fail to install on other platforms. ↓
