library0.0.1jsnpmunverified

A TypeScript transpiler and bundler with minimal dependencies. Currently at version 0.0.1 with slow release cadence. Targets Node >=8.5.0.

import tscraft from 'tscraft'; import { transpile, bundle } from 'tscraft'; const code = `const x: number = 1;`; // Transpile TypeScript to JavaScript const result = transpile(code, { target: 'es2015' }); console.log(result.code); // Bundle multiple files const bundleResult = bundle({ entry: 'src/index.ts', output: 'dist/bundle.js' }); console.log(bundleResult); // Use default export (same as transpile) const defaultResult = tscraft(code, { target: 'es2020' });

Debug

Known issues

breakingNo CommonJS (require) support; all imports must be ESM.

fix

Use ESM imports with 'import' syntax and ensure your project is configured for ESM (type: 'module' in package.json).

affects: >=0.0.1

deprecatedDefault export may be renamed in future versions; use named exports for stability.

fix

Prefer import { transpile } from 'tscraft' over import tscraft from 'tscraft'.

affects: >=0.0.1

gotchaEngine requirement Node >=8.5.0 may cause issues on older systems.

fix

Upgrade Node.js to version 8.5.0 or later.

affects: >=0.0.1

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Cannot find module 'tscraft'

Package not installed or ESM import used in CJS context.

fix

Run 'npm install tscraft' and ensure project is ESM-enabled (type: 'module' in package.json).

SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'export'

Attempting to use ESM 'import' in a CommonJS file without ESM support.

fix

Add 'type': 'module' to package.json or rename file to .mjs.

TypeError: tscraft is not a function

Using default import incorrectly; default export may be an object.

fix

Use named imports: import { transpile } from 'tscraft'.
