library0.3.1jsnpmunverified

snipbuild is a build tool for bundling HyperSnips snippets with TypeScript support for global blocks. Current stable version is 0.3.1. It uses Rolldown under the hood to bundle TypeScript globals into snippets, supports splitting code across files, and enables use of standard JS/TS tooling like Vitest for testing. Unlike manual snippet writing, snipbuild allows maintaining complex snippet collections with shared common snippets via #include and proper TypeScript compilation. The tool is actively maintained with recent updates on npm.
