muddler

library1.5.13jsnpmunverified

A CLI tool to transpile, unit test, and minify hackmud scripts (TypeScript or JavaScript). Version 1.5.13 is the latest stable release; the project appears to be in maintenance mode with no recent updates since 2017. It uses Google's Closure Compiler for minification and Mocha for testing. Key differentiators: built specifically for hackmud, supports TypeScript, automatic file watching, and integration with hackmud's script directory.

Muddler is a CLI tool, not a library. Use npx or install globally.

npx muddler src.ts

Default config file is 'muddle.json' not 'muddler.json'.

muddle.json

TypeScript is transpiled by Muddler, but requires setup.

Use .ts extension for scripts and .test.ts for tests.
