kdjs

kdjs: KimlikDAO JavaScript compiler

kdjs is a javascript compiler with advanced optimization and minification capabilities. It primarily builds upon the Google Closure Compiler (GCC) however it has many custom optimization passes and a more powerful module system.

For instance, kdjs it is able to generate es6 modules with exports and unlinked imports, which is not possible with GCC.

kdjs expects your code to be fully annotated using the Google Closure Compiler type annotations. Just like in GCC, your type annotations can be either in a .js file or an externs file, which in kdjs has to end with the extension .d.js.

You can run kdjs directly

bun kdjs/kdjs.js entry.js

or install it system wide

cd kdjs
npm i -g .

When you run kdjs with a supplied entry file like so

$ kdjs entry.js

it will automatically crawl all the imported files from the entry.js and include the externs files for libraries that it recognizes.

$ kdjs

kdjs 0.0.1
