emerald-esbuild

Build client apps with esbuild and typescript without any node_modules folder. Files are downloded from https://esm.sh/package_name@version on the fly and built everytime.

Install

go install github.com/scriptmaster/emerald-esbuild@latest

This installs to $GOPATH/bin dir. Ensure GOPATH was set to $HOME/go and $GOPATH/bin was added to your PATH env var.

Pre-requisites

• Install go: https://go.dev/doc/install
• Usually, GOROOT is /usr/local/go and GOPATH is $HOME/go for user packages. Do, go env to list GOROOT and GOPATH.

Usage

After go install was successful.

emerald-esbuild

on an empty directory to start building files.

How it works

• emerald-esbuild is a wrapper on esbuild api.
• It transforms the entrypoint app/main.tsx and any imports within it (downloads via its aliases in importmap.json) and bundles into dist/main.js and dist/main.css
