Creating Standalone Executables

Creating standalone executables is possible with tjs compile. The resulting executable will bundle the given code and the txiki.js runtime. No compiler is needed.

Basic usage​

Assuming a bundle.js file with some JS code, the following command will create a standalone executable:

tjs compile bundle.js

The new executable will be called bundle on Unix platforms and bundle.exe on Windows.

Custom output name​

The output name can be customized by passing a second option:

tjs compile bundle.js myexe

Bundling your code​

The tjs compile command doesn't do any code bundling — it expects a single JavaScript file as input. If your application spans multiple files or uses TypeScript, bundle it first with tjs bundle:

tjs bundle --minify my-app/index.ts bundle.js
tjs compile bundle.js

See the Code Bundling guide for more details.
