I've essentially paid zero attention to npm config and tooling. What's the quickest way to just get a single bundled js file that I can throw in my project? Decided I'll most likely use this to continue adding functionality to my PWA service-worker instead of using cljs or plain js as I'm using now.

paid so little attention to things in the JS world that the squint compilation output is the first time I've seen the michael jackson extension

Checked the example folder and found this, seems to work well:

npx esbuild main.mjs --bundle --minify --platform=node --outfile=main.min.mjs --format=esm

I'm shocked how small the builds are, extremely happy this exists!

borkdude20:10:19

yes, esbuild works well to produce a single file

borkdude20:10:35

mjs = short for ESM js

borkdude20:10:47

node wants this extension if you're using import etc

borkdude20:10:59

you can tweak the extension with --extension=js

zane21:10:54

+1 for esbuild.
