sofy

library1.0.7jsnpmunverified

Sofy is an extended JavaScript bundler (v1.0.7) built on top of Gulp, Rollup, Webpack, and Babel, allowing developers to define file compilation tasks in a single config file (sofy.js). It supports SCSS/CSS processing (minification, autoprefixing), JavaScript bundling (Webpack, Babel, uglify), file concatenation, and watching. The stable version is 1.0.7 with no recent changes beyond minor fixes. Compared to pure Webpack or Rollup, Sofy offers a lower-config abstraction for Gulp-like task definitions but sacrifices flexibility and modern ESM support. The repository is archival? (See warnings), and the package has very low usage and maintenance.

Code

Verified usage

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

sofy

✓ const sofy = require('sofy');

✗ import sofy from 'sofy';

Package is CJS-only; ESM import may fail. Use require().

Sofy (CLI)

✓ npx sofy --create

✗ sofy --create

CLI used via npx or global install. No programmatic API documented.

module.exports (config)

✓ module.exports = { files: {...}, config: {...} };

✗ export default { ... };

Config file sofy.js is CommonJS module; export pattern must use module.exports.

Shows a minimal sofy.js configuration file with a single JavaScript file input that is transpiled with Babel and minified with Uglify. Demonstrates the module.exports pattern and CLI usage.

// sofy.config.js const files = { 'src/app.js': { dist: 'dist/', rename: 'app.bundle.js', bable: true, uglify: true, watch: ['src/**/*.js'] } }; const config = { bable_custom_config1: { presets: ['@babel/preset-env'] } }; module.exports = { files, config }; // Then run: npx sofy --compile

sofy --version

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe package name 'sofy' conflicts with a popular Instagram dog account; documentation is whimsical and not serious.

fix

Avoid using for production; consider alternatives like Webpack, Rollup, or Gulp directly.

affects: all

deprecatedPackage has not been updated since 2020 (v1.0.7); uses outdated Gulp 3/4 patterns and deprecated plugins like gulp-combine-files.

fix

Migrate to modern build tools (e.g., Vite, esbuild) or plain Gulp 4 with current plugins.

affects: >=1.0.0

breakingThe config option 'bable' is misspelled (should be 'babel'); common typo in documentation.

fix

Use 'babel' in config, not 'bable'.

affects: all

gotchaAll JavaScript processing (Babel, Webpack, Rollup) uses Gulp plugins that may not be compatible with Node.js >12.

fix

Use Node.js 12 or downgrade to older plugin versions; check peer deprecations.

affects: all

deprecatedThe package relies on gulp-combine-files which is unmaintained and may cause issues.

fix

Avoid using 'combine_files: true'; use concat or manual file combinations.

affects: all

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error: Cannot find module 'gulp-combine-files'

Missing peer dependency or deprecated package not installed.

fix

Remove 'combine_files' from config or install the missing plugin: npm install gulp-combine-files --save-dev

sofy: command not found

Sofy CLI not installed globally or not run via npx.

fix

Use npx sofy --create or install globally: npm install -g sofy

TypeError: Cannot read property 'presets' of undefined

Babel config not passed correctly in sofy.js config block.

fix

Ensure config.bable_custom_config1 is defined and referenced correctly in file options.

Error: `output.rollupOptions` is not supported in sofy.

Mixing Rollup-style config with Sofy's own config structure.

fix

Use Sofy's files/config keys instead of Rollup options.
