esbuild is an extremely fast JavaScript bundler and minifier written in Go. Current stable version is 0.21.x (as of this entry). It is released weekly with frequent bug fixes and features. Key differentiators include unmatched speed (10-100x faster than Webpack/Rollup), native Go implementation, built-in bundling, minification, TypeScript and JSX support, and a plugin API. It is designed for modern ESM and CJS workflows, and provides platform-specific binary packages like esbuild-openbsd-64-for-imba for easy installation.

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.

build

✓ import { build } from 'esbuild'

✗ const { build } = require('esbuild')

ESM import is recommended; CJS require also works. Since v0.17, the default export is an object containing all functions.

transform

✓ import { transform } from 'esbuild'

Used for transforming a single file in memory. Available since v0.6.

BuildOptions

✓ import type { BuildOptions } from 'esbuild'

✗ import { BuildOptions } from 'esbuild'

TypeScript users should import types with `import type` to avoid runtime inclusion.

Shows basic bundling and minification with esbuild's build API using async/await.

import { build } from 'esbuild'; async function bundle() { try { const result = await build({ entryPoints: ['src/index.js'], outfile: 'dist/bundle.js', bundle: true, minify: true, platform: 'browser', target: ['es2020'], }); console.log('Build succeeded:', result); } catch (e) { console.error('Build failed:', e.message); } } bundle();

Debug

Known issues

breakingIn v0.27.0, esbuild introduced backwards-incompatible changes. Pin exact version to avoid unexpected upgrades.

fix

Use a version range like `^0.26.0` or `~0.26.0` in package.json, or pin to an exact version.

affects: >=0.27.0

breakingIn v0.26.0, esbuild enabled trusted publishing via GitHub Actions. If you rely on the old publishing method, update your workflows.

fix

Ensure your CI/CD pipeline trusts the new publisher.

affects: >=0.26.0

gotchaWhen using `require('esbuild')` in CommonJS, you must access `.build` etc. as properties; the default export is not a function.

fix

Use `const esbuild = require('esbuild'); esbuild.build(...)` or switch to ESM imports.

affects: >=0.17.0

deprecatedThe `startService` API is deprecated since v0.9.0 and removed in v0.13.0. Use `build` and `transform` directly.

fix

Replace `startService` with direct calls to `build` and `transform`.

affects: >=0.13.0

gotchaPlatform-specific binaries (e.g., esbuild-openbsd-64-for-imba) are automatically downloaded by the main esbuild package. Manual installation is not needed and can cause version mismatches.

fix

Install only `esbuild` as a dependency; do not add platform-specific packages directly.

affects: *

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error: Cannot find module 'esbuild'

esbuild is not installed or the platform-specific binary is missing.

fix

Run `npm install esbuild` (or yarn/pnpm equivalent). Ensure your node version is >=12.

Error: The package 'esbuild' was built for a different platform.

The installed platform-specific binary does not match the current OS/architecture.

fix

Delete node_modules and reinstall. Use `npm install esbuild --save-dev` to install the correct binary automatically.

TypeError: esbuild.build is not a function

Using `require('esbuild')` and calling `.build` directly without accessing the correct property in older versions.

fix

If using CommonJS, use `const esbuild = require('esbuild'); esbuild.build(...)`. If using ESM, use `import { build } from 'esbuild'`.
