node-bundle

1.0.999 verified Sat Apr 25 auth: no javascript

A fast bundler for CommonJS applications, version 1.0.999. No release cadence noted. Differentiators vs alternatives like webpack or esbuild: minimal configuration, focused solely on CommonJS (CJS) module bundles for Node.js environments. Not actively maintained based on README absence.

Common errors

error Error: Cannot find module 'node-bundle' ↓

cause Package not installed or incorrect import syntax.

fix

Run npm install node-bundle and use const bundle = require('node-bundle');

error TypeError: bundle is not a function ↓

cause Incorrect import (e.g., used import instead of require, or got wrong export).

fix

Use correct CommonJS require: const bundle = require('node-bundle');

Warnings

gotcha Only supports CommonJS modules, not ESM. ↓

fix Ensure all source files use require/module.exports; do not use import/export.

gotcha Output is always a single file; does not support code splitting. ↓

fix Use webpack or esbuild for code splitting.

gotcha No TypeScript support; treats .ts files as .js. ↓

fix Compile TypeScript to JavaScript first, then bundle.

npm install node-bundle
