3.0.5 verified Sat Apr 25 auth: no javascript

Minimalistic web application bundler. Version 3.0.5 is the latest stable release.

No frequent updates; maintained as a stable tool.

Common errors

error Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module /path/to/minipac not supported. ↓

cause Package is ESM-only, cannot be required().

fix

Use import minipac from 'minipac' instead of require('minipac').

error TypeError: minipac is not a function ↓

cause Default export changed to an object in v3; calling it as function fails.

fix

Use import { bundle } from 'minipac' and call bundle(config).

Warnings

breaking Default export changed from function to object in v3. ↓

fix Use named export `bundle` instead of calling default export directly.

deprecated `minipac({...})` sync API removed in v3. ↓

fix Use `bundle(config)` which returns a Promise.

gotcha Require() is not supported; package is ESM-only. ↓

fix Use `import` statements. If using CommonJS, use dynamic import: `import('minipac')`.

Install

npm install minipac

yarn add minipac

pnpm add minipac

Imports

minipac
wrong
```
const minipac = require('minipac')
```
correct
```
import minipac from 'minipac'
```
ESM-only module; default export is the bundler function.

bundle

wrong

const bundle = require('minipac').bundle

correct

import { bundle } from 'minipac'

Named export `bundle` available since v3.

Config
wrong
```
import { Config } from 'minipac'
```
correct
```
import type { Config } from 'minipac'
```
Type import for TypeScript users; Config is not a runtime value.

Quickstart

Shows both default and named imports, then bundles an entry point to output file.

import minipac from 'minipac';
import { bundle } from 'minipac';

const config = {
  entry: './src/index.js',
  output: './dist/bundle.js',
};

bundle(config).then(() => console.log('Bundled!'))
  .catch(err => console.error(err));
