Hastyjs👩‍💻

Hastyjs is the cli tool for you if you quickly want to add npm libraries to your experimental javascript project.

Hastyjs internally uses custom esbuild plugins to fetch bundled versions of javascript libraries from unpkg.com on demand and bundles them alongside your local modules.

This tool is not meant to replace your traditional node js production pipeline but to allow you to quickly experiment with your ideas without the need for a package.json file and node modules.

Features

• Harnesses Esbuild's speed ⚡⚡⚡ bundling capabilities
• Caches fetched libraries for faster execution
• Use popular libraries such as lodash without npm install
• Execute complex javascript code with a simple command
