build()

Create a Reactus build engine for generating assets, client entries, and page modules.

import path from 'node:path';
import { build } from 'reactus';

const cwd = process.cwd();

const engine = build({
  cwd,
  assetPath: path.join(cwd, 'public/assets'),
  clientPath: path.join(cwd, 'public/client'),
  pagePath: path.join(cwd, '.build/pages')
});

Common properties

Build-all methods

buildAllAssets()

Build and write asset files for every manifest entry.

buildAllClients()

Build and write client hydration entries for every manifest entry.

buildAllPages()

Build and write server page modules for every manifest entry.

Each returns an array of build status objects.

Per-entry methods

set(entry)

Register a page entry in the manifest.

buildAssets(entry)

Build the asset bundle output for one page entry.

buildClient(entry)

Build the client-side hydration entry for one page entry.

buildPage(entry, assets?)

Build the server page module for one page entry.

If assets is omitted, Reactus builds the asset output first so it can inject generated stylesheet names.

Manifest helpers

The build wrapper also exposes manifest helpers such as:

• open(file)
• save(file)
• get(entry)
• values()
