Bundlee

Bundlee

Bundlee is a Deno library designed to consolidate static files from a specified folder into a single JSON file. The library compresses these files using gzip and stores them in base64 format. Bundlee can then decompress and retrieve the content of the bundled files when required.

This library is particularly useful for serving all your static files from a CDN. Bundlee downloads one bundle (a json file) from a URL at server start, then a middleware extracts the correct file for the appropriate URL from the bundle when needed.

Features

  • Combine multiple static files into a single JSON file, suitable for serving via CDN
  • Uses gzip for smaller bundles
  • No external dependencies
  • Developed specifically for Deno

Example Usage

Getting files from a bundle

import { Bundlee } from "jsr:@hexagon/bundlee/mod.ts"

// Bundlee.load is a static factory function returning a ready to use instance
const staticFiles = await Bundlee.load("url")

// Implement this in a middleware in your web framework,
// ... or use it for something completely different!
if (staticFiles.has("static/index.html")) {
  const fileContent = staticFiles.get("static/index.html")
}

Creating a Bundle

To create a bundle using the bundlee CLI command, follow these steps:

  1. Install bundlee as a command-line tool:
deno install --allow-read --allow-write jsr:@hexagon/bundlee
  1. Use the bundlee command to create a bundle from a specified directory:
bundlee --bundle <path-to-your-directory> <output-bundle-file>

Replace with the path of the directory you want to bundle and with the desired output file name (e.g., bundle.json).

Example:

bundlee --bundle static/ bundle.json

This command will create a bundle of the static/ directory and save it as bundle.json. Files in the bundle will be named static/dir/file.name based on where the working directory where you ran the command.

  1. Restoring files from a bundle:

Given a path to a directory and a path to a bundle file, the --restore or -r option restores all files in the bundle to the specified directory, preserving their original paths and modified times. To use this option, run the CLI command with the following syntax:

bundlee --restore <path-to-bundle-file> [<path-to-your-directory>]

Replace <path-to-bundle-file> with the path of the bundle file you want to restore from. <path-to-your-directory> is optional and will change where files are restored. By default, the files in the bundle will be restored to their original paths relative to the specified directory.

Example:

bundlee --restore bundle.json

This command will restore the files in bundle.json file to the current directory, preserving their original paths and modified times.

Example Oak Middleware

Run bundlee cli to generate a bundle, make sure to run from the root of your static files directory to get the paths correct. You can check the generated paths by opening bundle.json in a text editor.

// Generate an url to bundle.json, relative to current file path
// this is to make everything work later when code and bundle is published to a cdn.
//
// You can of course set the pathToBundleJson to a fixed
// url, like https://deno.land/x/mymod@0.0.1/bundle.json too
//
const pathToBundleJson = dirname(import.meta.url) + "/bundle.json"

// Load the bundle
const staticFiles = await Bundlee.load(pathToBundleJson)

// Now, in your oak initialization code, add this middleware
this.app.use(async (context: any, next: any) => {
  // Extract path from request, example: /css/default.css
  // remove leading slash to get css/default.css which should match the name in
  // bundle.json
  const url = context.request.url.pathname.slice(1)

  // Serve!
  if (staticFiles.has(url)) {
    const fileData = await staticFiles.get(url)
    context.response.body = fileData.content
    context.response.type = fileData.contentType
    context.response.headers.set(
      "Last-Modified",
      new Date(fileData.lastModified).toUTCString(),
    )
  } else {
    await next()
  }
})

API

Class: Bundlee

Helper factory

static async load(fileUrl: string, importType: "import" | "fetch" | "local" = "import"): Promise

Factory function that loads a bundle JSON file and creates a new instance of Bundlee.

  • fileUrl: The URL of the bundle JSON file.
  • importType: The type of import to use. Possible values are "import", "fetch", and "local". The default value is "import".

Returns a promise that resolves to a new instance of Bundlee.

Creating bundles

async bundle (basePath: string, path: string, exts?: string[]) Promise<Record<string, Metadata>>

Bundles files from a directory into a single JSON object.

  • basePath: The base path for file paths.
  • path: The directory path.
  • exts: An optional list of extensions to filter files.

Returns a promise that resolves to a JSON object containing encoded file contents.

Extracting files from a bundle

async get(filePath: string) Promise<Metadata>

Gets the content of a file from a JSON bundle.

  • filePath: The path of the file to retrieve.

Returns a promise that resolves to the metadata object for the file, containing its content, content type, and last modified time.

has(filePath: string) boolean

Checks if a file exists in a JSON bundle.

  • filePath: The path of the file to retrieve.

Returns true if the file exists in the bundle, false otherwise.

Importing bundles

async import(fileUrl: string, importType: "import" | "fetch" | "local" = "local") Promise<void>

Imports a bundle JSON file.

  • fileUrl: The URL of the bundle JSON file.
  • importType: The type of import to use. Possible values are "import", "fetch", and "local". The default value is "local".

Returns a promise that resolves when the bundle is loaded.

async importAsModule(fileUrl: string) Promise<void>

Imports a bundle JSON file using the import() function.

  • fileUrl: The URL of the bundle JSON file.

Returns a promise that resolves when the bundle is loaded.

async importLocal(fileUrl: string): Promise<void>

Imports a bundle JSON file from the local filesystem.

  • fileUrl: The path of the bundle JSON file.

Returns a promise that resolves when the bundle is loaded.

async importRemote(fileUrl: string) Promise<void>

Imports a bundle JSON file using the fetch() function.

  • fileUrl: The URL of the bundle JSON file.

Returns a promise that resolves when the bundle is loaded.

async preloadCache() Promise<void>

Preloads the cache with all the files in the bundle.

Returns a promise that resolves when the cache is loaded.
