bare-pack

Bundle packing for Bare. It traverses a module graph and constructs a https://github.com/holepunchto/bare-bundle bundle with all statically resolvable import specifiers preresolved and embeds addon and asset imports. Built on https://github.com/holepunchto/bare-module-traverse, it relies on modules being read and prefixes being listed by callbacks, making it independent of the underlying module storage.

A CLI is also included and provides out-of-the box support for constructing bundles for use with https://github.com/holepunchto/bare on both desktop and mobile.

npm i [-g] bare-pack

Usage

const pack = require('bare-pack')

async function readModule (url) {
  // Read `url` if it exists, otherwise `null`
}

async function * listPrefix (url) {
  // Yield URLs that have `url` as a prefix. The list may be empty.
}

const bundle = await pack(new URL('file:///directory/file.js'), readModule, listPrefix)

API

const bundle = await pack(url[, options], readModule[, listPrefix])

Bundle the module graph rooted at url, which must be a WHATWG URL instance. readModule is called with a URL instance for every module to be read and must either return the module source, if it exists, or null. listPrefix is called with a URL instance of every prefix to be listed and must yield URL instances that have the specified URL as a prefix. If not provided, prefixes won't be bundled.

Options include:

{
  concurrency: 1
}

Options supported by https://github.com/holepunchto/bare-module-traverse may also be specified.

CLI

bare-pack [flags] <entry>

Bundle the module graph rooted at <entry>. If --out is provided, the bundle will be written to the specified file. Otherwise, the bundle will be written to stdout.

Flags include:

--version|-v
--out|-o <path>
--builtins <path>
--linked
--format|-f
--encoding|-e
--platform|-p <name>
--arch|-a <name>
--simulator
--help|-h

Target

By default, the bundle will be created for the host platform and architecture. To instead create a bundle for a different target system, pass the --platform, --arch, and --simulator flags.

bare-pack --platform <darwin|ios|linux|android|win32> --arch <arm|arm64|ia32|x64> [--simulator] index.js

index.js

console.log(Bare.platform, Bare.arch, Bare.simulator)

Linking

If your runtime environment dynamically links native addons ahead of time, pass the --linked flag to ensure that addons resolve to linked: specifiers instead of file: prebuilds. This will mostly always be necessary when targetting mobile as both iOS and Android require native code to be linked ahead of time rather than loaded at runtime from disk.

bare-pack --linked index.js

index.js

const addon = require.addon()

package.json

{
  "name": "addon",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "addon": true
}

require.addon() will then resolve to linked:libaddon.1.0.0.dylib on macOS, linked:addon.1.0.0.framework/addon.1.0.0 on iOS, linked:libaddon.1.0.0.so on Linux and Android, and linked:addon-1.0.0.dll on Windows.

See example/addon for the full example.

Builtins

If your runtime environment includes builtin modules or statically embeds native addons, pass the --builtins flag and point it at a module exporting the list of builtins.

bare-pack --builtins builtins.json index.js

index.js

const addon = require('addon')

package.json

{
  "name": "builtin",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "dependencies": {
    "addon": "file:../addon"
  }
}

To treat both the addon JavaScript module and native addon as being provided by the runtime environment, do:

builtins.json

[
  "addon"
]

To instead bundle the addon JavaScript module and only treat the native addon as being provided by the runtime environment, do:

builtins.json

[
  { "addon": "addon" }
]

See example/builtin for the full example.

Format

The bundle format to use will be inferred from the --out flag if specified and can also be set directly using the --format and --encoding flags.

bare-pack --format <bundle.cjs|bundle.mjs|bundle.json|bundle> --encoding <utf8|base64|ascii|hex|utf16le> index.js

Format | Extension(s) | Description --- | --- | --- bundle.cjs | .bundle.js, .bundle.cjs | CommonJS wrapper for a .bundle bundle.mjs | .bundle.mjs | ES module wrapper for a .bundle bundle.json | .bundle.json | JSON wrapper for a .bundle bundle | .bundle, .* | Raw .bundle

The default encoding is utf8 for all text formats. Use base64 or hex if combining a text format with native addons or binary assets.
