CompileNodeJS (v2.0.1) is a JavaScript and JSON parsing, minification, compression, and beautification toolkit for Node.js. It wraps uglify-js, @babel/core, @babel/preset-react, and babel-minify into a simple build pipeline. Released as both a CLI and programmatic library, it offers functions to minify files, build directories, and transform package.json and .env files for production. Unlike standalone minifiers, it provides a unified API for complete build automation.

Install & Compatibility

Where this runs

No compatibility data collected yet for this library.

Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

compile

✓ const compile = require('compile-nodejs');

✗ import compile from 'compile-nodejs';

CommonJS only; no ES module wrapper.

buildDirectory

✓ compile.buildDirectory(source).then(...)

✗ await compile.buildDirectory() without async

All build methods return Promises.

buildMinify

✓ compile.buildMinify(compile.source('index.js'), compile.destiny('index.js'))

✗ compile.buildMinify('index.js', 'index.js')

Must use source() and destiny() helper functions.

Demonstrates basic usage: require the module, call async functions to build a directory and minify a file.

const compile = require('compile-nodejs'); async function main() { await compile.buildDirectory(compile.source('build')); await compile.buildMinify(compile.source('index.js'), compile.destiny('index.js')); } main().then(() => console.log('Done')).catch(err => console.error(err));

Debug

Known issues

gotchaAll methods are asynchronous and must be awaited.

fix

Use async/await or .then() on all compile calls.

affects: >=2.0

gotchasource() and destiny() helper functions must be used to wrap file paths.

fix

Wrap paths: compile.source('path') and compile.destiny('path').

affects: >=2.0

gotchaThe module is CommonJS only; ES module imports (import) will fail.

fix

Use require().

affects: >=2.0

gotchaDependencies are heavy (Babel, uglify) – install time may be long.

fix

Consider using only needed parts or lighter alternatives.

affects: >=2.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

TypeError: compile.buildDirectory is not a function

Using ES module import syntax (import) instead of require.

fix

Use const compile = require('compile-nodejs');

Error: Must provide source file path with compile.source()

Passing raw string instead of compile.source() wrapper.

fix

Use compile.source('your-file.js') as argument.

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'then')

Calling async function without await or .then() inside a non-async context.

fix

Ensure the calling function is async and use await.
