pakit

library0.2.5jsnpmunverified

pakit is an opinionated JavaScript bundler (v2.3.0) that provides out-of-the-box linting, transpilation, minification, and sourcemaps with minimal configuration. It supports CommonJS and ES2015 modules, bundle splitting via shards, file watching, caching, and configuration through .pakit.json, .pakit.js, or .pakit directory. Integrates with eslint, babel, and uglify, respecting their rc files for non-invasiveness. Differentiated by its strong defaults and modular configuration approach. Release cadence is sporadic; latest stable is v2.3.0.

Verified usage

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

pakit

✓ import pakit from 'pakit'

✗ const pakit = require('pakit')

pakit is a default export, but CommonJS also works. ESM import recommended for bundling.

pakit

✓ const pakit = require('pakit')

✗ import { pakit } from 'pakit'

pakit is a default export; named import syntax is incorrect.

Bundle

✓ import { Bundle } from 'pakit'

✗ import Bundle from 'pakit'

Bundle is a named export, not default. Use named import syntax.

Demonstrates programmatic usage of pakit with entry files, output path, minification, sourcemaps, and bundle splitting into vendor shard.

import pakit from 'pakit'; import path from 'path'; pakit({ entries: ['./src/index.js'], out: path.resolve('dist/bundle.js'), watch: false, minify: true, sourcemap: true, shards: { 'dist/vendor.js': ['/node_modules/'] } }).then(result => { console.log('Build succeeded:', result); }).catch(err => { console.error('Build failed:', err); });

Debug

Known issues

deprecated.bundlerrc configuration files are deprecated. Please rename to .pakit file.

fix

Rename .bundlerrc to .pakit.json, .pakit.js, or .pakit directory.

affects: >=0.6.2

breakingIn v0.6.0, bundlerrc support was removed without warning. Recovery release v0.6.2 added deprecation warning.

fix

Upgrade to v0.6.2 or later. Rename .bundlerrc to .pakit.

affects: 0.6.0 - 0.6.1

gotchaESLint config detection uses glob for .eslintrc files; ensure your config file is named correctly (e.g., .eslintrc.json).

fix

Use a supported .eslintrc file (json, js, yaml) in project root.

affects: >=0.6.1

gotchaBundle splitting shard matchers are internally converted to regular expressions. Escape special characters if matching literal strings.

fix

Use proper regex escaping in shard match patterns.

affects: >=0.5.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error: Cannot find module 'eslint'

eslint is not installed when using pakit, but required for linting.

fix

Install eslint as a dev dependency: npm install eslint --save-dev

Error: Could not find configuration file .pakit.json, .pakit.js, or .pakit directory

pakit cannot find any configuration file in the project root.

fix

Create a .pakit.json file or use the programmatic API with explicit options.

TypeError: pakit is not a function

Misimporting pakit (e.g., using named import instead of default).

fix

Use import pakit from 'pakit' or const pakit = require('pakit').

Unexpected token: keyword «import»

pakit requires babel to transpile ES6 modules if using .babelrc; if not configured, babel may not be active.

fix

Ensure babel-core is installed and .babelrc is present, or use CommonJS require syntax.
