tinybundle

tinybundle is a minimalist command-line module bundler, currently at version 2.0.0, designed for simple bundling tasks without the complexity of modern bundlers like Webpack or Rollup. It distinguishes itself by eschewing a JavaScript API, relying solely on CLI arguments and a `tbdeps.json` configuration file. This file specifies a list of npm packages and local JavaScript files (prefixed with `!`), optionally allowing for pre-processing commands (prefixed with `?`) to be executed via `system` calls before bundling. The tool does not support traditional loaders, opting instead for this external command execution model. Its release cadence is not specified, but it targets users looking for an extremely lightweight, no-frills bundling solution where custom pre-processing can be scripted externally. It consolidates dependencies and local code into a single, minified output file.
