transpilify

library2.0.3jsnpmunverified

applies browserify transforms to source code without bundling, enabling bundler-agnostic npm distributions. Current stable version 2.0.3, experimental status. Useful for pre-applying transforms like glslify or brfs to individual files. Differentiates from full bundlers by emitting single-file transforms suitable for library authors. Low maintenance cadence; last release in 2018.

Code

Verified usage

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

createTranspiler

✓ import { createTranspiler } from 'transpilify'

✗ const createTranspiler = require('transpilify')

ESM default export not documented; require works but may not be type-safe. Use default import: import transpilify from 'transpilify' then call transpilify.createTranspiler() if needed.

default

✓ import transpilify from 'transpilify'

✗ const transpilify = require('transpilify').default

The package has no named default export; require returns an object with createTranspiler.

createTranspiler

✓ const { createTranspiler } = require('transpilify')

✗ const createTranspiler = require('transpilify')

require returns an object; destructure or use .createTranspiler.

Shows programmatic usage: create transpiler with brfs transform, pipe a file through, and write output.

import { createTranspiler } from 'transpilify'; import { readFileSync, writeFileSync } from 'fs'; const transpiler = createTranspiler({ transform: ['brfs'], basedir: process.cwd() }); let result = ''; transpiler('input.js') .on('data', chunk => result += chunk) .on('end', () => writeFileSync('output.js', result)); // CLI equivalent: transpilify input.js --transform brfs > output.js

Known issues

deprecatedstability experimental; last updated 2018. Future Node versions may break.

fix

Consider alternatives like babel or esbuild for active support.

affects: >=2.0.0

gotchaTransforms that depend on bundler internals (like globals) will not work.

fix

Ensure transforms are purely source-to-source without bundler assumptions.

affects: >=2.0.0

gotchaCLI --transform options use browserify subarg syntax; incorrect quoting can fail.

fix

Use proper shell escaping, e.g. -t [ babelify --presets [ es2015 ] ]

affects: >=2.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error: Cannot find module 'brfs'

Transform not installed locally or globally.

fix

npm install brfs --save-dev in project root.

TypeError: createTranspiler is not a function

Wrong import method; package exports are not default.

fix

Use const { createTranspiler } = require('transpilify') or import { createTranspiler } from 'transpilify'.
