tsc-esbuild

library0.0.1-0jsnpmunverified

tsc-esbuild is a thin wrapper that runs TypeScript's compiler (tsc) for type checking but delegates actual JavaScript/declaration file emission to esbuild for dramatically faster builds. Version 0.0.1-0 is the initial prerelease with peer dependency on TypeScript 3.x or 4.x. Unlike ts-speedy or other hybrid approaches, this package directly patches the tsc API to intercept output, making it drop-in compatible with existing tsc invocations. It targets Node.js environments (CLI) and is not intended for browser use. Release cadence is irregular as it's in early development.

Code

Verified usage

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

default

✓ import tscEsbuild from 'tsc-esbuild'

✗ const tscEsbuild = require('tsc-esbuild')

Package is ESM-only; CommonJS require will fail. Use dynamic import() if needed.

runTscWithEsbuild

✓ import { runTscWithEsbuild } from 'tsc-esbuild'

✗ import { run } from 'tsc-esbuild'

Named export is 'runTscWithEsbuild' (not 'run'). Use named import for programmatic access.

TscEsbuildOptions

✓ import type { TscEsbuildOptions } from 'tsc-esbuild'

TypeScript users should import the type for options object; available since 0.0.1-0 in .d.ts files.

Shows programmatic usage with async/await, passing tsconfig path and esbuild options.

import tscEsbuild from 'tsc-esbuild'; const options = { tsconfig: './tsconfig.json', esbuildOptions: { target: 'es2020', format: 'esm', }, }; async function build() { try { const result = await tscEsbuild(options); console.log('Build succeeded:', result.outputFiles); } catch (err) { console.error('Build failed:', err); } } build();

Debug

Known issues

breakingRequires TypeScript 3.x or 4.x only; not compatible with TypeScript 5.x.

fix

Downgrade TypeScript to 4.x or wait for package update.

affects: >=0.0.1-0 <0.1.0

gotchaDefault export is a function, not a class; calling without `new` is correct.

fix

Use `tscEsbuild(options)` directly, not `new tscEsbuild()`.

affects: >=0.0.1-0

deprecatedThe `emitOnAll` option (if used) is deprecated; use `emitOn` instead.

fix

Replace `emitOnAll` with `emitOn: 'all'` in options.

affects: >=0.0.1-0

gotchaesbuild must be installed separately; not bundled.

fix

Run `npm install esbuild --save-dev` in your project.

affects: >=0.0.1-0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error: Cannot find module 'esbuild'

esbuild peer dependency not installed; package uses it at runtime.

fix

Run `npm install esbuild` or add it to your package.json.

TypeScript error: 'TscEsbuildOptions' is not a valid type

Importing type from wrong path or not using type import.

fix

Use `import type { TscEsbuildOptions } from 'tsc-esbuild'` instead of regular import.

TypeError: tscEsbuild is not a function

Using `new tscEsbuild()` or incorrect import (e.g., CommonJS require).

fix

Import with `import tscEsbuild from 'tsc-esbuild'` and call as `tscEsbuild(options)`.
