Run Deno code in the browser. Fast & simple.


dsbuild is a simple, fast static site builder.

It compiles any Deno TypeScript (or Markdown) into a single JavaScript file that can be run in the browser.

It's a one-command, zero-configuration way to build React, Markdown, or other JS-powered web sites entirely using Deno.

Features:

  • Supports TypeScript, MDX (Markdown), JSX, and React out of the box.
  • Automatic rebuilds as you develop (dsbuild --watch)
  • Previewing via a simple included web server (dsbuild --serve)
  • URL imports using https://, file://, npm:, jsr:, and import maps.
  • Full support for Deno syntax and modules that don't require the Deno namespace or system APIs.
  • Powered by esbuild and esbuild_deno_loader under the hood.



Installation

  1. Install the Deno runtime.

  2. Run the following command to install dsbuild:

deno install -frAg -n dsbuild https://deno.land/x/dsbuild/mod.ts
  1. Ensure $HOME/.deno/bin is in your PATH environment variable.



Usage

See examples/ for full examples of building React, Markdown, or other JS-powered web sites.

  • dsbuild

    • Run this command from any directory to compile src/app.ts into public/app.js.
  • dsbuild --watch (or dsbuild -w)

    • Watches src/ directory and rebuilds on changes.
  • dsbuild --watch --serve (or dsbuild -ws)

    • Watch and serve public/ on localhost:8000.
  • dsbuild --import-map import-map.json

    • Builds with import map.
  • dsbuild --denoconfig

    • Generates a deno.json you can use for Deno development with proper target and lib settings for Browsers/React/JSX.

    • You can also run dsbuild --denoconfig --out deno.json to write to a file.

  • dsbuild --tsconfig

    • Generates a tsconfig.json you can use for Deno development with proper target and lib settings for Browsers/React/JSX.

    • You can also run dsbuild --tsconfig --out tsconfig.json to write to a file.

  • dsbuild --in src/some-file.ts --out public/another-file.js

    • You can configure the in and out flags to customize the input and output files.

    • These example values are the same as the defaults when you call dsbuild.

  • dsbuild --target chrome99,firefox99,safari15

    • Customize the output target, to specify browsers or a different environment. (esbuild target docs)
  • dsbuild --serve-only

    • Serve public/ on localhost:8000 without building.
  • DENO_ENV=development dsbuild

    • Builds without minification.



Quick Start

Check out the examples/ folder for a demo, after git clone-ing this repo and installing dsbuild.

Inside the folder, run dsbuild --serve --watch, make changes to src/app.ts, and you should see the page immediately update.
