Installation

# Or with pnpm
pnpm add -g @git.zone/tsbundle

Quick Start ⚡

Interactive Setup

The easiest way to get started is with the interactive wizard:

tsbundle init

This will guide you through setting up your bundle configuration with preset options:

element - Web component / element bundle (./ts_web/index.ts → ./dist_bundle/bundle.js)
website - Full website with HTML and assets (./ts_web/index.ts → ./dist_serve/bundle.js)
npm - NPM package bundle (./ts/index.ts → ./dist_bundle/bundle.js)
custom - Configure everything manually

Build Your Bundles

Once configured, simply run:

tsbundle

That's it! Your bundles will be built according to your npmextra.json configuration.

CLI Commands

Command	Description
`tsbundle`	Build all bundles from `npmextra.json` configuration
`tsbundle custom`	Same as above (explicit)
`tsbundle init`	Interactive wizard to create/update bundle configuration

Configuration 📝

tsbundle uses npmextra.json for configuration. Here's an example:

{
  "@git.zone/tsbundle": {
    "bundles": [
      {
        "from": "./ts_web/index.ts",
        "to": "./dist_bundle/bundle.js",
        "outputMode": "bundle",
        "bundler": "esbuild",
        "production": false
      },
      {
        "from": "./ts_web/index.ts",
        "to": "./dist_serve/bundle.js",
        "outputMode": "bundle",
        "bundler": "esbuild",
        "includeFiles": ["./html/**/*.html", "./assets/**/*"]
      }
    ]
  }
}

Bundle Configuration Options

Option	Type	Default	Description
`from`	`string`	-	Entry point TypeScript file
`to`	`string`	-	Output file path
`outputMode`	`"bundle"` \| `"base64ts"`	`"bundle"`	Output format (see below)
`bundler`	`"esbuild"` \| `"rolldown"` \| `"rspack"`	`"esbuild"`	Which bundler to use
`production`	`boolean`	`false`	Enable minification
`includeFiles`	`string[]`	`[]`	Glob patterns for additional files (HTML, assets)
`maxLineLength`	`number`	`0` (unlimited)	For `base64ts` mode: max chars per line in output

Output Modes

`bundle` (default)

Standard JavaScript bundle output. Additional files specified in includeFiles are copied to the output directory.

`base64ts`

Generates a TypeScript file with base64-encoded content - perfect for Deno compile scenarios where you need everything embedded in a single executable:

// Auto-generated by tsbundle
export const files: { path: string; contentBase64: string }[] = [
  { path: "bundle.js", contentBase64: "Y29uc3QgaGVsbG8gPSAid29ybGQi..." },
  { path: "index.html", contentBase64: "PCFET0NUWVBFIGh0bWw+..." },
];

Tip: If you're working with AI tools that have line length limitations, set maxLineLength (e.g., 200) to split long base64 strings across multiple lines.

Available Bundlers 🔧

tsbundle supports three modern bundlers:

Bundler	Speed	Best For
esbuild	⚡⚡⚡ Blazing fast	Development, quick iterations
rolldown	⚡⚡ Fast	Production builds, tree-shaking
rspack	⚡⚡ Fast	Webpack compatibility

API Usage

TsBundle Class

import { TsBundle } from '@git.zone/tsbundle';

const bundler = new TsBundle();

await bundler.build(
  process.cwd(),           // Working directory
  './src/index.ts',        // Entry point
  './dist/bundle.js',      // Output path
  {
    bundler: 'esbuild',
    production: true
  }
);

HtmlHandler Class

Process and minify HTML files:

import { HtmlHandler } from '@git.zone/tsbundle';

const htmlHandler = new HtmlHandler();

await htmlHandler.processHtml({
  from: './html/index.html',
  to: './dist/index.html',
  minify: true
});

AssetsHandler Class

Handle static assets:

import { AssetsHandler } from '@git.zone/tsbundle';

const assetsHandler = new AssetsHandler();

await assetsHandler.processAssets({
  from: './assets',
  to: './dist/assets'
});

Complete Example 🎯

1. Initialize your project

tsbundle init

Select "website" preset for a full web application setup.

2. Your generated config

{
  "@git.zone/tsbundle": {
    "bundles": [
      {
        "from": "./ts_web/index.ts",
        "to": "./dist_serve/bundle.js",
        "outputMode": "bundle",
        "bundler": "esbuild",
        "includeFiles": ["./html/**/*.html", "./assets/**/*"]
      }
    ]
  }
}

3. Create your entry point

// ts_web/index.ts
console.log('Hello from tsbundle! 🚀');

export const app = {
  version: '1.0.0',
  init() {
    console.log('App initialized');
  }
};

app.init();

4. Build

tsbundle

Your bundle is ready in ./dist_serve/bundle.js along with any HTML and assets!

Embedding for Deno Compile 🦕

For single-executable scenarios with Deno:

tsbundle init
# Select "custom", set outputMode to "base64ts"

Config:

{
  "@git.zone/tsbundle": {
    "bundles": [
      {
        "from": "./ts_web/index.ts",
        "to": "./ts/embedded-bundle.ts",
        "outputMode": "base64ts",
        "bundler": "esbuild",
        "production": true,
        "includeFiles": ["./html/index.html"],
        "maxLineLength": 200
      }
    ]
  }
}

Then in your Deno app:

import { files } from './ts/embedded-bundle.ts';

// Decode and serve your embedded files
const bundle = files.find(f => f.path === 'bundle.js');
const html = files.find(f => f.path === 'html/index.html');

const bundleContent = atob(bundle.contentBase64);
const htmlContent = atob(html.contentBase64);
