> A unified javascript build system

### 📦 Optimized bundler

Robust [rollup](https://rollupjs.org) based bundler that supports typescript and generates commonjs and module formats + type declarations.

### 🪄 Automated config

Automagically infer build config and entries from `package.json`.

### 📁 Bundleless build

Integration with [mkdist](https://github.com/unjs/mkdist) for generating bundleless dists with file-to-file transpilation.

### ✨ Passive watcher

Stub `dist` once using [jiti](https://github.com/unjs/jiti) and you can try and link your project without needing to watch and rebuild during development.

### ✍ Untype Generator

Integration with [untyped](https://github.com/unjs/untyped).

### ✔️ Secure builds

Automatically check for various build issues such as potential **missing** and **unused** [dependencies](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v7/configuring-npm/package-json#dependencies) and fail CI.

CLI output also includes output size and exports for quick inspection.

## Usage

Create `src/index.ts`:

```ts
export const log = (...args) => {
  console.log(...args);
};
```

Update `package.json`:

```json
{
  "type": "module",
  "exports": {
    ".": {
      "import": "./dist/index.mjs",
      "require": "./dist/index.cjs"
    }
  },
  "main": "./dist/index.cjs",
  "types": "./dist/index.d.ts",
  "files": ["dist"]
}
```

> **Note**
> You can find a more complete example in [unjs/template](https://github.com/unjs/template) for project setup.

Build with `unbuild`:

```sh
npx unbuild
```

Configuration is automatically inferred from fields in `package.json` mapped to `src/` directory. For more control, continue with next section.

## Configuration

Create `build.config.ts`:

```ts
export default {
  entries: ["./src/index"],
};
```

You can either use `unbuild` key in `package.json` or `build.config.{js,cjs,mjs,ts,mts,cts,json}` to specify configuration.

See options [here](./src/types.ts).

Example:

```ts
import { defineBuildConfig } from "unbuild";

export default defineBuildConfig({
  // If entries is not provided, will be automatically inferred from package.json
  entries: [
    // default
    "./src/index",
    // mkdist builder transpiles file-to-file keeping original sources structure
    {
      builder: "mkdist",
      input: "./src/package/components/",
      outDir: "./build/components",
    },
  ],

  // Change outDir, default is 'dist'
  outDir: "build",

  // Generates .d.ts declaration file
  declaration: true,
});
```

Or with multiple builds you can declare an array of configs:

```ts
import { defineBuildConfig } from "unbuild";

export default defineBuildConfig([
  {
    // If entries is not provided, will be automatically inferred from package.json
    entries: [
      // default
      "./src/index",
      // mkdist builder transpiles file-to-file keeping original sources structure
      {
        builder: "mkdist",
        input: "./src/package/components/",
        outDir: "./build/components",
      },
    ],

    // Change outDir, default is 'dist'
    outDir: "build",

    /**
     * * `compatible` means "src/index.ts" will generate "dist/index.d.mts", "dist/index.d.cts" and "dist/index.d.ts".
     * * `node16` means "src/index.ts" will generate "dist/index.d.mts" and "dist/index.d.cts".
     * * `true` is equivalent to `compatible`.
     * * `false` will disable declaration generation.
     * * `undefined` will auto detect based on "package.json". If "package.json" has "types" field, it will be `"compatible"`, otherwise `false`.
     */
    declaration: "compatible",
  },
  {
    name: "minified",
    entries: ["./src/index"],
    outDir: "build/min",
    rollup: {
      esbuild: {
        minify: true,
      },
    },
  },
]);
```
