oxnode

oxnode is a convenient wrapper for @oxc-node/cli, which provides a blazingly fast TypeScript/JSX execution environment for Node.js based on the Oxc toolchain written in Rust.

You can treat it as a faster alternative to ts-node or tsx.

Installation

Global Installation (Recommended)

npm install -g oxnode

Use with npx (No Installation)

npx oxnode your-script.ts

You can execute it with pnpm as well:

pnpm dlx oxnode your-script.ts

Usage

Run a TypeScript file directly

oxnode ./src/index.ts

Examples

// hello.ts
interface Greeting {
  message: string
}

const greeting: Greeting = {
  message: "Hello from oxnode!"
}

console.log(greeting.message)

oxnode hello.ts
# Output: Hello from oxnode!

// script.ts
import { readFile } from 'fs/promises'
import { join } from 'path'

const content = await readFile(join(process.cwd(), 'package.json'), 'utf-8')
const pkg = JSON.parse(content)
console.log(`Package name: ${pkg.name}`)
