Features

• Builder / Bundler (rollup wrapper)
  • build-ts app
    • Bundle TypeScript code as Node.js application
  • build-ts functions
    • Bundle TypeScript code as GCP/Firebase Functions
    • Generate optimized package.json for Functions
  • build-ts lib
    • Bundle TypeScript code as Node.js / Pure JavaScript / React Library
  • Remove console.log automatically
• Executor (ts-node wrapper)
  • build-ts run <TypeScript file>
    • Run TypeScript code as Node.js script

Node.js Application

npx build-ts app [project path], e.g.,

npx build-ts app test-fixtures/app-node
# or
cd test-fixtures/app-node && npx build-ts app

Firebase Functions

npx build-ts functions [project path], e.g.,

npx build-ts app test-fixtures/functions
# or
cd test-fixtures/functions && npx build-ts app

Node.js / Browser Library

npx build-ts lib [project path], e.g.,

npx build-ts lib test-fixtures/lib
# or
cd test-fixtures/lib && npx build-ts lib

React Library

npx build-ts lib [project path], e.g.,

npx build-ts lib test-fixtures/lib-react
# or
cd test-fixtures/lib-react && npx build-ts lib

Run TypeScript code with arguments

echo "console.log(process.argv)" > example.ts
npx build-ts run example.ts -- --foo bar

The output is like this:

[ '/path/to/node',
  '/path/to/build-ts/dist/bin/run.js',
  '--foo',
  'bar' ]
