Speedy.js Compiler

0.0.19 verified Fri May 01 auth: no javascript abandoned

A TypeScript to WebAssembly compiler that generates WebAssembly modules from TypeScript input files. Version 0.0.19, released as an early-stage experimental tool. Key differentiator: compiles a subset of TypeScript to optimize performance-critical code for web assembly, targeting browser and Node.js environments. Development appears stalled with no commits since 2018, making it suitable only for experimental use.

Common errors

error Cannot find module 'speedyjs-compiler' ↓

cause Package not installed or not found in node_modules.

fix

Run 'npm install speedyjs-compiler' and ensure it's listed in package.json.

error TypeError: compile is not a function ↓

cause Incorrect import method (CommonJS vs ESM).

fix

Use proper import: import { compile } from 'speedyjs-compiler'

error Error: Unsupported type 'string' at position X ↓

cause Speedy.js does not support full TypeScript type system; string is not supported.

fix

Replace TypeScript types with supported ones: use i32, f64, bool, etc.

Warnings

gotcha Supports only a subset of TypeScript types (e.g., i32, f64), not full TypeScript. ↓

fix Restrict TypeScript code to supported types: i32, i64, f32, f64, bool, void, arrays, pointers, strings.

deprecated Project appears abandoned; no updates since 2018. ↓

fix Consider alternatives like AssemblyScript or Emscripten.

gotcha Documentation is minimal; expect breaking changes or missing features. ↓

fix Refer to GitHub repo for examples and issues.

breaking Requires Node.js version 8 or higher due to WebAssembly support. ↓

fix Ensure Node.js version >= 8 or use polyfills.

Install

npm install speedyjs-compiler

yarn add speedyjs-compiler

pnpm add speedyjs-compiler

Imports

compile

wrong

const compiler = require('speedyjs-compiler')

correct

import { compile } from 'speedyjs-compiler'

Package may have ESM exports; CommonJS require may fail.

default export
wrong
```
const Speedy = require('speedyjs-compiler').default
```
correct
```
import Speedy from 'speedyjs-compiler'
```
Default export likely available, but named export compile is preferred.
transpileModule
```
import { transpileModule } from 'speedyjs-compiler'
```
Hypothetical function; check actual API as documentation is incomplete.

Quickstart

Demonstrates compiling a simple TypeScript function (subset) into a WebAssembly module using the compile function.

import { compile } from 'speedyjs-compiler';

const wasmModule = compile(`
  function add(a: i32, b: i32): i32 {
    return a + b;
  }
`, { optimize: true });

console.log(wasmModule);
