Compile javascript with node.js. This allows you to move your executable around without needing to install the node.js runtime.

Requirements

  • Linux / Mac (windows soon)

Installation

Via NPM:

	npm install nexe

Or git:

	git clone 

Motivation

  • Developing client-side utilities without requiring to install a bunch of dependencies first (node.js, npm).
  • Ability to run multiple node.js applications with different node.js runtimes.

CLI Usage

	
Usage: nexe -i [sources] -o [binary]

Options:
  -i, --input    The entry javascript files  [default: cwd]
  -o, --output   The output binary           [default: cwd/app.nex]
  -r, --runtime  The node.js runtime to use  [default: "0.6.3"]


Code usage


var nexe = require('nexe');

nexe.compile({ entries: 'input.js', output: 'path/to/bin', runtime: '0.6.3' } function() {
	
});
