Init

Create a package.json file for ECMAScript module development

# init package.json
npx @vanillaes/esmtk init

# init package.json (including ESMTK scripts)
npx @vanillaes/esmtk init --scripts

Test

Run tests (Tape-ES)

Arguments

es test [...options] [files]

Usage

# run the tests
es test

es test **/*.test.js

# run the tests (ignore tests)
es test **/*.test.js --ignore **/node_modules/**,src/util.spec.js

# run the tests (change the current working directory)
es test **/*.test.js --cwd src/

# run the tests (watch for changes)
es test --watch

Lint

Lint the source code (Lint-ES)

Arguments

es lint [...options]

• [files] - File(s)/glob(s) to lint (default: **/*.js)
• --cwd <dir> - Current working directory
• --fix - Automatically fix problems
• --ignore <pattern(s)> - File(s)/glob(s) to ignore

Note: By default lint-es ignores node_modules/, coverage/, vendor/, *.min.js, hidden files, and files included in .gitignore.

Usage

# lint the sources
es lint

# lint the sources (change the current working directory)
es lint --cwd src/

# lint the sources and attempt to automatally fix the issues
es lint --fix lint

# lint the sources (ignore files)
es lint --ignore src/

Type

Type check the JSDoc typings (Typescript)

Arguments

es type [...options] [entry]

• [entry] - Entry-point for the source (default: [entry-point].js)
• --module <type> - Module resolution type (default esnext). See tsc
• --strict - Enable 'strict mode' type checks. See tsc
• --types <type(s)> - Specify type package names to include (ex node for @types/node). See tsc

Usage

# type check the sources
es type index.js

# type check the sources (with 'node' module resolution)
es type --module nodenext index.js

# type check the sources (with 'strict mode' enabled)
es type --strict index.js

# type check the sources (with '@types/node' typings included)
es type --types node index.js

Note: Due to Typescript limitations, inline JSDoc typings will be ignored if typings (ie *.d.ts files) exist.

Bundle

Bundle the source code to an ECMAScript module (ESBuild)

Arguments

es bundle [...options] [input] [output]

• [input] - Input source file path (default: [entry-point].js)
• [output] - Output bundle file path (default: [entry-point].esm.js)

Usage

# bundle ESM source -> ESM bundle
es bundle src/sample.js bundle.js

# bundle ESM source -> ESM bundle (includes Node-specific bindings)
es bundle --platform=node src/sample.js bundle.js

Minify

Bundle and Minify the source code to an ECMAScript module (ESBuild)

Arguments

es minify [...options] [input] [output]

• [input] - Input source file path (default: [entry-point].js)
• [output] - Output minified bundle file path (default: [entry-point].min.js)
• --platform <target> - Target platform (default: neutral). See esbuild --platform
• --sourcemap - Generate a source map for the minified bundle. See esbuild --sourcemap

Usage

# bundle ESM source -> minified ESM bundle
es minify src/sample.js bundle.min.js

# bundle ESM source -> minified ESM bundle (includes Node-specific bindings)
es minify --platform=node src/sample.js bundle.min.js
