npmize

This package simplifies creating npm packages that work seamlessly across browsers and Node.js environments by handling CommonJS (CJS) and ES modules (ESM) for you.

Features

• TypeScript Support: Compile TypeScript code with ease.
• Zero Configuration: Get started without any complex setup.
• Universal Compatibility: Works across browsers and Node.js.
• ESM and CJS Compilation: Compiles code to both CJS and ESM formats.
• Simple and Lightweight: Easy to use and maintains a small footprint.
• Multiple Threads Can utilize multiple threads for extremely large projects.
• Path Conversion: Converts TypeScript config paths to relative paths for compatibility.
• ESM __dirname and __filename Support: Enables these variables for ESM compatibility.

Installation

Locally:

npm install -D npmize

Yarn:

yarn add -D npmize

pnpm:

pnpm add -D npmize

Usage

npmize <command> [options]

Example:

1. Initialize a new project:

   npmize init project-name
   

2. Get help information:

   npmize --help
   npmize --help-usage
   

TypeScript Path Handling:

If you use TypeScript paths, ensure baseUrl is set in your tsconfig.json. For files within a src directory, set baseUrl to ./src.

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "baseUrl": "./src",
    "outDir": "./dist",
    "paths": { "@/*": ["./*"] }
  },
  "include": ["./src"]
}

Notes

• Variable Naming: Avoid using VGhpcyBuYW1lIGlzIGFscmVhZHkgdXNlZCB0byBlbmFibGUgX19kaXJuYW1lIGFuZCBfX2ZpbGVuYW1lIDop (encoded using Base64) as a top-level variable name.
