temon

library1.3.4jsnpmunverified

Temon is a TypeScript runner, bundler, and watcher that combines esbuild and nodemon into a single CLI tool. Current stable version is 1.3.4, with active development. It differentiates from alternatives (e.g., ts-node, tsx) by offering integrated bundling via esbuild and automatic restart via nodemon, while being lightweight and easy to configure. Ideal for rapid development and prototyping.

Code

Verified usage

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

temon (CLI)

✓ npx temon index.ts

✗ temon index.ts (without npx if not globally installed)

The package is primarily used as a CLI tool; there is no programmatic API. Ensure esbuild and nodemon are installed as peer dependencies.

default build

✓ npx temon index.ts --build dist/index.js

✗ npx temon build index.ts

Use --build flag to bundle output. The output path must include the filename.

watch mode

✓ npx temon index.ts --watch

✗ npx temon --watch index.ts

The --watch flag triggers nodemon to restart on file changes. Order of arguments matters: input file first, then flags.

Local install with peer deps, then run a TypeScript file with bundling, minification, and watch mode.

npm install --save-dev esbuild nodemon temon npx temon index.ts --build dist/index.js --minify --watch

Debug

Known issues

gotchaPeer dependencies esbuild and nodemon must be installed manually; they are not automatically installed with temon.

fix

Run 'npm install --save-dev esbuild nodemon temon' for a local install.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaThe --watch flag uses nodemon; output bundling may not trigger correct restarts if output path is not correctly configured.

fix

Ensure the --build path is specified correctly; nodemon watches the input file but restarts based on output file changes.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaWhen passing arguments to the script, they must be enclosed in quotes and placed before --watch or other flags.

fix

Example: npx temon "index.ts --test" --watch

affects: >=1.0.0
