esbuild: Bundle a JavaScript application for a specific node version.
$ esbuild --bundle --platform=${node} --target=${node12} ${filename-js}
try on your machine
This command is using esbuild to bundle a JavaScript file (${filename-js}) specifically for Node.js.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
esbuild
: This is the command itself, which is a JavaScript bundler/transpiler developed by evanw.--bundle
: This option tells esbuild to bundle the code into a single file, including all dependencies.--platform=${node}
: This option specifies the target platform for bundling, and in this case, it is set to${node}
. The${node}
is most likely a placeholder that needs to be replaced with the actual value, such asnode
,browser
, orneutral
. Since it's set to${node}
, it might be intended to be replaced with a specific platform value later on, depending on the context.--target=${node12}
: This option sets the target environment for the bundled code, and again, it is set to${node12}
. It is likely intended to be replaced with a specific target value later on. In this case, it could be targeting Node.js version 12.${filename-js}
: This is a placeholder for the input JavaScript file that needs to be bundled. It should be replaced with the actual filename, including the.js
extension.
To effectively use this command, you would need to replace ${node}
and ${node12}
with appropriate platform and target values, and replace ${filename-js}
with the actual JavaScript file you want to bundle.
This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and
never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
