Jazzle

0.0.0 verified Fri May 01 auth: no javascript abandoned

Jazzle is an early-stage, zero-dependency ECMAScript transpiler focused on speed and novel technique implementation (e.g., temporal dead zones, super-bound this). Current version is 0.0.0, which indicates a pre-release or initial development phase. It claims ~2x faster than Babel on early benchmarks. Differentiators include zero dependencies, very fast transpilation, and unique support for certain edge cases like temporal dead zones. However, it is not production-ready and lacks CLI, documentation, and maturity. Not recommended for real projects.

Common errors

error Cannot find module 'jazzle' ↓

cause The package is not installed or not in node_modules.

fix

Run npm install jazzle in your project directory.

Warnings

gotcha CLI is not yet implemented; the README explicitly states CLI is in the making. ↓

fix Use the JavaScript API (transform function) instead of CLI.

Install

npm install jimpala

yarn add jimpala

pnpm add jimpala

Imports

transform
```
import { transform } from 'jazzle'
```
The package uses CommonJS exports, but if targeting ESM, named import may not work; use default import instead.
default
wrong
```
const { transform } = require('jazzle')
```
correct
```
import jazzle from 'jazzle'
```
The package exports a function directly, so default import or assigning require() to a variable is correct.
require('jazzle')
wrong
```
const jazzle = require('jazzle').default
```
correct
```
const jazzle = require('jazzle')
```
The package uses module.exports = function, so no .default needed.

Quickstart

Transpile a simple destructuring assignment using the transform API and log the output code.

const jazzle = require('jazzle');
const code = 'let [x] = [1];';
const result = jazzle.transform(code, { sourceType: 'module' });
console.log(result.code);
