kompiler

library7.0.170jsnpmunverified

A framework-agnostic compiler/transpiler that bundles Babel, Rollup, and Node script management into a single watch-driven workflow. Current stable version is 7.0.170. Released irregularly as a personal tool. Unlike full-featured bundlers, it focuses on rapid development with built-in static server, automatic restarts, and path mappings. Configuration is done via package.json under the 'kompiler' key. Supports custom Babel presets, multiple builds, Node script watching, and HTTP file auto-updates. Primarily intended for the author and friends, with minimal documentation and breaking changes between versions.

Code

Verified usage

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

default

✓ No exports to import; configured via package.json "kompiler" key.

✗ Attempting `const kompiler = require('kompiler')` will not work as expected.

kompiler is a CLI tool, not a library. Install globally or use npx. No JS API is exposed.

CLI usage

✓ npx kompiler

✗ Running `kompiler` without installation or `require('kompiler')`.

CLI reads package.json configuration automatically.

Quickstart showing minimal package.json configuration to transpile a single file and run the build.

// In package.json: { "kompiler": { "builds": [ { "input": ["src/index.js"], "output": "dist/bundle.js", "minified": true } ] } } // Then run: // npx kompiler

kompiler --version

Debug

Known issues

breakingIn version 7.0.0+, configuration schema changed from 'compiler' to 'kompiler' key in package.json. Watch paths are now arrays instead of strings.

fix

Update package.json: rename key from 'compiler' to 'kompiler', and convert single watch paths to arrays.

affects: >=7.0.0

deprecatedThe 'autoupdates' feature is deprecated and may be removed in a future release.

fix

Remove 'autoupdates' from configuration; use external tools like curl or wget instead.

affects: <7.0.170

gotchaIf 'input' is a folder, output must be a folder as well; otherwise build fails silently.

fix

Ensure that when input is a directory, output is also a directory (e.g., 'dist/').

affects: all

gotchaThe static server does not support HTTP range requests (206 Partial Content). This affects video/audio streaming on browsers.

fix

Use 'express: true' in build config to enable the Express server with full HTTP support.

affects: all

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Cannot find module 'kompiler'

Global installation missing or local node_modules not present.

fix

Install globally: npm install -g kompiler, or use npx kompiler.

Unknown option 'watch' in kompiler config

Configuration key name mismatch or version-specific changes.

fix

Check configuration adheres to the current version schema. In v7, 'watch' inside 'builds' must be an array of file paths.
