# jiti
> Runtime typescript and ESM support for Node.js (CommonJS)
[![version][npm-v-src]][npm-v-href]
[![downloads][npm-d-src]][npm-d-href]
[![size][size-src]][size-href]
## Features
- Stable typescript and esm syntax support
- Provide sync interface to replace require
- Super slim and zero dependency
- Syntax detect to avoid extra transform
- CommonJS cache integration
- Filesystem transpile cache + V8 compile cache
## Usage
```js
const jiti = require('jiti')(__filename)
jiti('./path/to/file.ts')
```
You can also pass options as second argument:
```js
const jiti = require('jiti')(__filename, { debug: true })
```
## Options
### `debug`
- Type: Boolean
- Default: `false`
Enable debug to see which files are transpiled
### `cache`
- Type: Boolean
- Default: `true`
Use transpile cache
### `cacheDir`
- Type: String
- Default: `node_modules/.cache/jiti` or `{TMP_DIR}/node-jiti`
Cache directroy (only effective if `cache` is `true`)
### `transform`
- Type: Function
- Default: Babel (lazy loaded)
Transform function. See [src/babel](./src/babel.ts) for more details
## Compared to Alternatives
### [`standard-things/esm`](https://github.com/standard-things/esm)
- `+` Much more stable thanks to babel
- `+` Less low level operations
- `+` Typescript support
- `-` Slower (without cache)
### [`babel-register`](https://babeljs.io/docs/en/babel-register)
- `+` Smaller install size (~1M vs ~11M with same plugins)
- `+` Configured out of the box
- `+` Smart syntax detect to avoid unnecessary trnaspilation
- `+` Does not ignores `node_modules`. ESM everywhere yay!
- `+` Embeddable
### [`esbuild`](https://github.com/evanw/esbuild)
- `+` No native dependency
- `+` More stable thanks to babel
- `-` Slower
- `+` Embeddable
### `ts-node`
- `+` Support both esm and typescript
- `/` No typechecking support / Faster
- `+` Smart syntax detect to avoid unnecessary transpilation
### Native ESM Support (MJS)
- It is not (yet) landed as a stable feature
- No typescript support
- Limitted to `.mjs` files with different executation context (no `__filename`, `require`, etc)
### Bundlers (`rollup`, `webpack`, `snowpack`, etc)
Meanwhile it would be much better making an optimized bundle to deploy to production or as npm package, using bundler setup and watching is frustrating during project development that's where `jiti` (or similar tools like `ts-node`) would be more convenient.
**Note:** However currently only babel transform is supported, configurable transform support is in the roadmap so using `esbuild` or other solutions would be possible.
## Development
- Clone Repo
- Run `yarn`
- Run `yarn build`
- Run `yarn dev`
- Run `node ./test/jiti.js`
## Roadmap
- [x] Basic working
- [x] Syntax detect and fallback to CJS require
- [x] Improve project build system
- [x] File system cache
- [x] Configurable transform
- [ ] Add tests
- [ ] Support `node -r jiti`
- [ ] esbuild support
