What is bud.js?

Configurable, extensible build tools for modern single and multi-page web applications.

Goals

bud.js wants to be:

Reliable, yielding consistent and predictable behaviors regardless of specified options.
Fast, leveraging parallel processing, smart caching and an asyncronous events based API to keep build times minimal.
Extensible, with a fully featured plugin system to support an ecosystem of packaged modules
Simple, to get started and straight forward to maintain

Features

Zero config by default. Check out this codesandbox template with react, postcss modules and no config.
Modular by design. Use only what you need.
Multi-compiler support.
Heckin’ fast.
Lux developer tooling and semi-automated dependency management.
Support for configuration files authored with TypeScript, JSON, YML, CJS and ESM.
Support for CDNs like skypack and unpkg.
Customizable and extensible.

Requirements

Node 16+
yarn 1.22 or higher
npm 8.3 or higher
Windows users must run bud.js under the Windows Subsystem for Linux.
