It integrates with frameworks like Vapor and Publish, letting users add it as a dependency, pin an ESBuild version, and run bundling commands via a Swift API. Future plans include adding usage examples and building a companion package around Orogene to resolve NPM packages without Node. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How can I bundle JavaScript in a Swift project without installing Node.js? SwiftyESBuild is a Swift Package that wraps ESBuild so Swift projects can bundle JavaScript without a separate Node.js installation. Add it as a dependency, create a SwiftyESBuild instance with a pinned version, and call the run function with options like .bundle and .outfile to generate production-ready artifacts or watch files for changes. _Developers wiring JS bundling into Swift backends can track new tooling releases like this on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Migrating a Rails App From Sprockets to JS Bundling With Esbuild - FastRuby.io](https://daily.dev/posts/migrating-a-rails-app-from-sprockets-to-js-bundling-with-esbuild---fastruby-io-rpjdmjyyn) · RUBYLAND · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#webdev](https://daily.dev/tags/webdev), [#javascript](https://daily.dev/tags/javascript), [#swift](https://daily.dev/tags/swift) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/bundling-javascript-in-swift-projects-using-esbuild-ptvb7sfls) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Bundling Javascript in Swift projects using ESBuild","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/bundling-javascript-in-swift-projects-using-esbuild-ptvb7sfls","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/bundling-javascript-in-swift-projects-using-esbuild-ptvb7sfls"},"datePublished":"2026-08-23T12:20:07.200Z","dateModified":"2026-08-23T12:38:27.515Z","description":"A new Swift Package called SwiftyESBuild lets developers bundle JavaScript using ESBuild directly from Swift projects, without needing to install Node.js.
