Bundling
deno bundle [URL]
will output a single JavaScript file for consumption in
Deno, which includes all dependencies of the specified input. For example:
deno bundle https://deno.land/std@$STD_VERSION/examples/colors.ts colors.bundle.js
Bundle https://deno.land/std@$STD_VERSION/examples/colors.ts
Download https://deno.land/std@$STD_VERSION/examples/colors.ts
Download https://deno.land/std@$STD_VERSION/fmt/colors.ts
Emit "colors.bundle.js" (9.83KB)
If you omit the out file, the bundle will be sent to stdout
.
The bundle can just be run as any other module in Deno would:
deno run colors.bundle.js
The output is a self contained ES Module, where any exports from the main module supplied on the command line will be available. For example, if the main module looked something like this:
```ts, ignore export { foo } from “./foo.js”;
export const bar = “bar”;
It could be imported like this:
```ts, ignore
import { bar, foo } from "./lib.bundle.js";
Bundling for the Web
The output of deno bundle
is intended for consumption in Deno and not for use
in a web browser or other runtimes. That said, depending on the input it may
work in other environments.
If you wish to bundle for the web, we recommend other solutions such as esbuild.
