layabox-esbuild

A build tool that uses esbuild to incrementally build LayaBox projects, enabling near-instant browser refresh after code changes. Version 1.3.2 is the current stable release. It is distributed as a CLI tool (globally installed via npm) and provides commands to initialize config, start build server, and specify custom config files. Key differentiators: it does not compile TypeScript but uses esbuild for fast bundling, supports breakpoint debugging (VSCode or browser), and includes a built-in WebSocket tool for live reload. Compared to LayaAir's built-in compiler or webpack, it offers significantly faster rebuild times. The tool is designed specifically for LayaBox game development workflow.
