JavaScript & TypeScript Tooling

Elide's JavaScript and TypeScript tooling is powered by OXC (Oxidation Compiler), a Rust-based toolchain for JS/TS. OXC handles parsing, type stripping, and transpilation at native speed.

Running JavaScript

Run JavaScript files directly:

console

> elide run app.js
Hello from JavaScript

Elide supports .js, .mjs (ESM), .cjs (CommonJS), and .jsx files.

TypeScript

TypeScript files are automatically transpiled — no build step or tsconfig.json required. OXC strips types at native speed:

console

> elide run script.ts
Hello from TypeScript

Supported extensions: .ts, .mts, .cts, .tsx.

JSX & TSX

.jsx and .tsx files are recognized and transpiled automatically via OXC — no separate build step or configuration is required:

console

> elide run component.tsx

JSX transpilation is on by default.

Bundling

JavaScript bundling is coming soon. Module bundling via OXC is under active development.
