High-performance build system that supports SWC, esbuild, and Babel
bud.js
Frontend build tools combining the best parts of Symfony Encore and Laravel Mix
What is bud.js?
bud.js is a web-focused build tool with add-on support for Babel, React, PostCSS, Sass, Typescript, esbuild, ESLint, Prettier, and more.
The standard bud.js compiler leverages webpack, but is open to being extended to support other build tools. In the future, we hope to provide support for alternatives.
bud.js is written in TypeScript but fully supports projects written in vanilla JavaScript.
Goals
bud.js wants to be:
- Reliable, yielding consistent and predictable behaviors regardless of specified options.
- Fast, leveraging parallel processing, smart caching and an asyncronous events based API to keep build times minimal.
- Extensible, with a fully featured plugin system to support an ecosystem of packaged modules
- Simple, to get started and straight forward to maintain
Features
- Zero config by default. Check out this codesandbox template with react, postcss modules and no config.
- Modular by design. Use only what you need.
- Multi-compiler support.
- Heckinβ fast.
- Lux developer tooling and semi-automated dependency management.
- Support for configuration files authored with TypeScript, JSON, YML, CJS and ESM.
- Support for CDNs like skypack and unpkg. See documentation on using remote sources or this example sandbox using skypack modules
- Support for outputting Ecmascript modules (experimental). See documentation on outputting ESM.
- Customizable and extensible. Add new features. Swap our core components with your own.
Requirements
- Node 16+
- yarn 1.22 or higher
- npm 8.3 or higher
- Windows users must run bud.js under the Windows Subsystem for Linux.
