🚧 Caution ️🚧
CodeEngine is still being developed and should be considered an early beta at this point. It may have bugs and/or performance issues, and we may introduce breaking changes as we solidify the API and functionality.
Features
Code Engine is a highly customizable, plugin-based code generator. It can be used as a build tool, a static site builder, a file processor, or any workflow that entails reading input data, performing a series of transformations on it, and outputing the transformed data.
-
🔌 Plugable
Plugins can read data from any source (filesystem, database, CMS, etc.), process it in any way (compile code, compress images, render templates, etc.), and then output the data to any destination. -
🚀 Fast
CodeEngine is truly multi-threaded, so it takes full advantage of your multi-core CPU to process multiple files concurrently. -
👁 Incremental Re-Builds
CodeEngine watches your source files for changes and automatically re-builds only what needs to be re-built based on the changes. -
✨ Modern
CodeEngine uses bleeding-edge JavaScript features, so you can write plugins using the latest JavaScript syntax, includingasync
/await
,for await...of
, etc. CodeEngine even natively supports TypeScript - no compilation step needed! -
🧩 Functional
CodeEngine plugins are pure functions that can easily be chained together in different ways to accomplish amazing things.
