How do deno devs bundle .js for browser projects? (SPAs, chrome extensions, etc)
Is the easiest option to tell
deno to emit a node_modules subdirectory so I can use esbuild? I'm trying to minimize configuration as much as possible.6 Replies
You can use esbuild, but since esbuild is built for Node specifically, it needs to understand how Deno resolves imports and stuff like that, so you'll need a plugin to instruct esbuild, you can use this: https://jsr.io/@duesabati/esbuild-deno-plugin
Thanks, does that require writing my own .ts file to do building? I was hoping to run a CLI, an
esbuild invocation in my justfile / makefile, or something like that.
so I get all the benefits of a nice CLI: --watch, etcI don't think you can pass plugins to the CLI but the JS API are very straight forward and do support watching

Tracking issue for refactorings occurring internally in the Deno codebase to support external bundlers. Most of this work is done, but still a bit to do.
Yeah I've encountered them while searching for esbuild compatibility as you can see one of those packages is written by me
I'm currently using it in my own project
