ahjs-worker-bundler

Make a worker bundle from a Node.js package.

How to use

Run this tool from a directory containing package.json. Ideally, it should be installed as a dev dependency and set as a script. For simplicity, all configuration for the bundle is derived from package.json values, mostly using standard fields:

// NOTE: Comments are not actually valid in JSON.
{
  // Recommended to avoid accidentally publishing as a real npm package.
  "private": true,
  "files": [
    // What files to include into the bundle, including the script files mentioned in "bin"/"directories.bin".
    "**/*.js"
  ],
  // If this is set, it must be a object mapping job types to the script that should be invoked to process their jobs.
  // NOTE: If this is set, "directories.bin" cannot be set.
  "bin": {
    "jobTypeA": "path/to/handlerA.js",
    "jobTypeB": "path/to/handlerB.js"
  },
  "directories": {
    // If this is set, it is assumed that handlers are located at ${bin}/${jobType}.js.
    // NOTE: If this is set, "bin" cannot be set.
    "bin": "path/to/handlers/folder"
  },
  "engines": {
    // If this is set, the Node.js version bundled will be compatible with this range.
    "node": ">= 16 < 18.3"
  },
  "scripts": {
    "build-bundle": "ahjs-wb"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    // Any dependencies here will be installed in a Linux Docker container and bundled.
    // NOTE: Other dependency types are not installed e.g. devDependencies, peerDependencies.
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    // Replace asterisk with specific version range.
    "@ahjs/worker-bundler": "*"
  }
}

All other fields are ignored, so they can be used for other purposes.

The output file will be ahjs-worker.tar.gz.
