  • Server-side Rendering (SSR) From Scratch with React
    5 projects | dev.to | 30 Aug 2023
    Now, we can run all this server reaching the port 4000. If you want to test, build it with tsup or any other way that you want, like ts-node.
  • Creating a package/library using nextjs and typescript
    1 project | /r/nextjs | 12 Jul 2023
    If you're building hooks, providers & components you can go with only React + TypeScript, and use something ESBuild or tsup to build it.
  • Is there an automated way to create a file with the Node interpreter specified?
    2 projects | /r/typescript | 21 Jun 2023
    I am using `tsup` to transpile my application - https://github.com/egoist/tsup
  • Create an npm package template with TypeScript and tsup

  • Ease your module bundling woes with tsup
    1 project | /r/Frontend | 6 Jun 2023
    I spent way to much time over the last couple days trying to line up vite/rollup to bundle my component library with types, type maps and the correct formats. Until I ran across this blog post which introduced me to https://github.com/egoist/tsup and it all just worked in a single readable command. I figured I'd share with you beautiful people so you could get your code bundled faster and carry on with the fun part of programming.
  • Building a modern gRPC-powered microservice using Node.js, Typescript, and Connect
    15 projects | dev.to | 20 Apr 2023
    As we iterate on the definition, we are going to want a better developer experience for rebuilding the package on changes. Typically, for a “library” or “utility” style package, I’d reach for either unbuild’s stub concept or use esbuild/tsup/rollup to implement a more traditional watch/rebuild, but in this case, I’m watching a proto file that lives outsides of the source, which breaks assumptions of those tools.
  • ESM vs Dual Package?
    1 project | /r/node | 25 Mar 2023
    My most recent project uses tsup to package a CJS and a ESM version separately, and I just publish both. It's too early to go full ESM, but I also don't want to stay on CJS, granted that we've been slowly moving away from it. To me as a dev it makes no difference, but if you want to use one or the other as a library consumer, you have a choice in my package
  • TypeScript tooling and ecosystem
    4 projects | /r/typescript | 4 Mar 2023
    If you want to stay in that ecosystem, try tsup. But you should still try to wire up a canonical tsc-based project first to understand the fundamentals.
  • Best builder for typescript library ?
    1 project | /r/typescript | 28 Oct 2022
    Have a look at tsup (https://tsup.egoist.dev) and microbundle (https://www.npmjs.com/package/microbundle)...
  • Creating Modern npm Packages
    3 projects | /r/javascript | 13 Sep 2022
    I actually recommend using tsup to build instead of tsc. It can bundle if you want, makes it easier to output multiple formats if you want, etc. It's also dead simple and lightning fast (like, MUCH faster than tasc). It's zero config so the build script is as simple as this.

node-gyp

  • Deep Learning in JavaScript
    11 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 28 Mar 2024
    The benefit of having it in JS is not speed but portability and access to the JS ecosystem of tools. Having the code run in the browser without needing a complex setup is a huge benefit for sharing demos. Node.js provides a way to use native code as well and it's quite commonly used https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp so there's no reason you couldn't use those same or similar libraries in a JS implementation.
  • Why is node_modules heavier than the universe? (No seriously, why is it so big?)
    2 projects | dev.to | 28 Oct 2023
    It is still possible to execute binaries made in other languages such as C/C++ by linking it dynamically as Native Addon Modules in Node.js using tools like node-gyp. But the execution in those case is done by the operating system, not the JS Engine.

    These are the bare minimum. You can also target other API levels like @nodert-win10-au, etc. You'll need to set up node-gyp with Python and Windows Build Tools and install the Windows 10 SDK corresponding to the version of the NodeRT package you pulled in.

What are some alternatives?

When comparing tsup and node-gyp you can also consider the following projects:

Rollup - Next-generation ES module bundler

urix - [DEPRECATED] Makes Windows-style paths more unix and URI friendly.

esbuild - An extremely fast bundler for the web

node-sqlite3 - SQLite3 bindings for Node.js

vite - Next generation frontend tooling. It's fast!

neon - Rust bindings for writing safe and fast native Node.js modules.

swc - Rust-based platform for the Web

npx - execute npm package binaries (moved)

webpack - A bundler for javascript and friends. Packs many modules into a few bundled assets. Code Splitting allows for loading parts of the application on demand. Through "loaders", modules can be CommonJs, AMD, ES6 modules, CSS, Images, JSON, Coffeescript, LESS, ... and your custom stuff.

filetags - Management of simple tags within file names

tsdx - Zero-config CLI for TypeScript package development

detox - Tames problematic filenames
