• 💥 zero config: typescript support (just rename *.js to *.ts)
• 🌟 zero config: code transforms using babel macros
• 🌈 zero config: code generation using babel plugin codegen
• 🚀 zero dependency: uses gcc-style bundling.
• 🐙 creates tiny bundles for multiple output formats cjs, esm and umd
• 🔥 Modern JS syntax with class properties, async/await, and generators
• ⚡ Built in Minification and Gzip Size Tracking
• 🌀 Built in development server for quick prototyping.

💪 Powered By

• rollup - Next-generation ES module bundler
• babel - The compiler for next generation JavaScript

🍽️ Usage

First, initialize your project using klap init:

npx klap init

Prefer Typescript ? initialize using ts argument:

npx klap init ts

Want to use JSX with Typescript? init using tsx argument:

npx klap init tsx

The init command will create a minimal package.json with source, main, module and browser entries and the build, watch and start scripts.

{
  "name": "...",
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "files": [ "dist" ],
  "source": "src/sum.js",         # source file of your package
  "main": "dist/sum.cjs.js",      # commonjs bundle target
  "module": "dist/sum.esm.js",    # esm bundle target
  "browser": "dist/sum.js",       # umd bundle target
  "scripts": {
    "build": "klap build",        # bundle your package
    "watch": "klap watch",        # bundle your package and watch for changes
    "start": "klap start",        # start a development server
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "klap": "3.2.0"               # klap as dev dependency
  }
}

Note: Dropping pkg.main will disable cjs output, also applies to esm and umd outputs.

Then use npm run or yarn to invoke npm scripts as you normally would.

See examples for common use cases using klap.

💢 Granular Control

klap uses sensible defaults for most part. However, as needed, use below properties in package.json to fine tune klap. You can also use cli flags to control config options for klap.

Note: See default browserslist coverage
