@ape-egg/vibe-compiler

The optional Rust compiler for Vibe. The runtime never needs it — this package exists for when you want pre-rendered initial paint (hyperspeed manifests), build-time component inlining, iteration batch functions, custom-element transforms, or compiled SPA output.

bun add -d @ape-egg/vibe-compiler   # or npm i -D
bunx vibe --init                    # write the vibe-compiler config into package.json
bunx vibe                           # compile

Compiled output is, by invariant, still runtime Vibe code — compiling is an optimization, never a requirement.

Platform support

Prebuilt binaries ship for macOS arm64 and Linux x64. On any other platform the bin shim falls back to cargo run — you need a Rust toolchain, and the first compile builds from source (minutes, once). There is no Windows binary yet.

Configuration

Lives in your project's package.json under "vibe-compiler". See the Vibe compiler docs for every option and flag (--minify, --watch, --spa, --source, --output, and the *-as-is opt-outs).
