Some Notes on Using Esbuild

• vite

  785 64,595 9.9 TypeScript

  Next generation frontend tooling. It's fast!

  

If you're going to have a build step at all, instead of hand rolling your build commands and configs, just use Vite already. It uses esbuild for development and rollup for production (since esbuild is not featureful enough for a lot of production use cases), you get instantaneous startup, hot module replacement, static asset imports, etc. for free. It's from Evan You, the creator of Vue, but it also supports React, which works pretty well with it in my experience.

• esbuild-plugin-alias

  1 32 0.0 JavaScript

  Discontinued esbuild plugin for path aliases

I think you should be able to do something similar to the webpack config that Vue ships would be to use https://github.com/igoradamenko/esbuild-plugin-alias and pass in a similar `runtimeCompiler` option to your build script.

• SurveyJS

• parcel

  168 43,097 9.4 JavaScript

  The zero configuration build tool for the web. 📦🚀

  

I love swc, it's close to a drop-in replacement for babel, but with a native executable and doesn't download half of the internet in JavaScript dependencies. You can use your existing build system, but get substantial speedups over using babel.

• joystick

  49 194 9.7 JavaScript

  A full-stack JavaScript framework for building stable, easy-to-maintain apps and websites.

  

esbuild is the gold standard its creator has done a phenomenal job (and it's still early in its lifecycle). It's the first time I used a JS build tool and didn't scream at the monitor when dealing with nonsensical APIs and error output.

Re-implemented a complex setup using it in an afternoon with very few hiccups: https://github.com/cheatcode/joystick/blob/master/cli/src/fu....

• htm

  42 8,554 0.0 JavaScript

  Hyperscript Tagged Markup: JSX alternative using standard tagged templates, with compiler support.

Instead of JSX I’ve been using htm, which fulfills roughly the same role but runs entirely in the browser: https://github.com/developit/htm

I find typescript useful for libraries, less so for application code.
