Developing modern JavaScript and TypeScript applications often involves complex build processes. Bundling, minification, and transpilation are crucial steps, but poorly optimized build tools can be a significant bottleneck, slowing down development cycles and frustrating teams. Enter esbuild, the lightning-fast JavaScript and TypeScript bundler that's changing the game.
But what if you want to harness the immense speed of esbuild without the hassle of managing its installation, configuration, and dependencies in every project? That's where esbuild.do comes in.
esbuild.do provides a simple, powerful API layer over the core esbuild functionality. This means you can access esbuild's incredible performance directly, integrating it seamlessly into your existing workflows and applications. Think of it as unlocking esbuild's potential through a user-friendly interface, without needing to run esbuild locally or manage its lifecycle.
The benefits are immediate and impactful:
Getting up and running with esbuild.do is designed to be as simple as possible. You can interact with esbuild.do through either a simple HTTP API or a dedicated SDK, depending on your preferred method of integration.
Here's a taste of how straightforward it can be using an SDK (languages and specific SDKs will be detailed in our documentation):
import { build } from 'esbuild'
build({
entryPoints: ['src/index.ts'],
bundle: true,
outfile: 'dist/index.js',
}).catch(() => process.exit(1))
(Note: This code example showcases the familiar esbuild syntax, highlighting how easily you can translate your existing esbuild knowledge to the esbuild.do API.)
The exact implementation details will vary based on whether you use the HTTP API or an SDK, but the core idea is to send a request to the esbuild.do service with your desired build configuration, and receive the bundled output.
Stop waiting for slow builds. Integrate esbuild.do into your development pipeline and experience the difference that lightning-fast bundling and building can make. Explore our documentation to learn more about getting started with the esbuild.do API or SDK and unlock the full potential of esbuild for your projects.
