In the world of modern web development, build times can significantly impact developer productivity and deployment speed. Slow build processes can turn a rapid iteration cycle into a frustrating waiting game. Enter esbuild – a JavaScript and TypeScript bundler known for its incredible speed. But what if you could harness the power of esbuild as a simple, accessible service, eliminating the need to manage its installation and environment directly?
That's where esbuild.do comes in.
esbuild.do leverages the incredible speed of esbuild to process your JavaScript and TypeScript projects as a simple, accessible service through the .do platform. Slash your build times effortlessly and streamline your workflows.
esbuild.do provides esbuild's high-performance bundling and build capabilities as a simple API service. This means you can integrate esbuild's speed directly into your existing workflows, CICD pipelines, or custom scripts without the overhead of managing language runtimes, dependencies, or platform-specific installations.
esbuild.do is a service built on the .do platform that exposes esbuild's core functionality via a simple API. Think of it as esbuild as a Service-as-Software. This approach offers several key advantages:
Interacting with esbuild.do is designed to be straightforward, similar to invoking a function or calling an API endpoint. The .do platform handles the underlying infrastructure and execution of the esbuild process.
You can specify standard esbuild bundling options by passing them as input parameters to the service. This includes essential options like entryPoints, outfile, bundle, minify, sourcemap, and more.
Here's a simple example using the @agentdotdo/agent SDK:
import { Agent } from 'agent.do';
const agent = new Agent();
async function bundleMyCode(inputPath: string, outputPath: string) {
const result = await agent.do({
agent: 'esbuild.do',
action: 'bundle', // The action to perform (bundling)
inputs: {
entryPoints: [inputPath],
outfile: outputPath,
bundle: true, // Enable bundling
minify: true // Enable minification for production
}
});
console.log('Bundle created:', result.outputs.outfile);
}
// Example usage to bundle 'src/index.js' to 'dist/bundle.js'
bundleMyCode('src/index.js', 'dist/bundle.js');
This code snippet demonstrates how easily you can trigger an esbuild bundling job by interacting with the esbuild.do agent on the .do platform. You simply define your inputs (like the entry file, output path, and esbuild options), and the service handles the rest, returning the results (including the path to the generated bundle).
The primary benefit of using esbuild.do is leveraging the inherent performance of esbuild itself. esbuild is written in Go and leverages parallelism heavily, resulting in significantly faster build times compared to many traditional JavaScript bundlers. By accessing this power as a service, you immediately benefit from this speed without needing to set up and configure esbuild locally or on your build servers.
Integrating esbuild.do into your CICD pipeline can dramatically reduce the time it takes to build and deploy your JavaScript and TypeScript applications, allowing for more frequent and efficient releases.
esbuild.do is delivered as a Service-as-Software via the .do platform, offering ease of integration through simple API calls or SDKs. Whether you're building a complex CICD pipeline, automating development tasks, or creating custom build scripts, esbuild.do provides a powerful and convenient way to incorporate high-speed JavaScript and TypeScript bundling.
By utilizing esbuild.do, you can:
