    Use Cases & Benefits

    • Compiles TypeScript and JavaScript code into native executables and WebAssembly using TypeScript's type information.
    • Enables static builds that run without Node.js or a JavaScript engine, improving performance and deployment simplicity.
    • Use for creating standalone native CLI tools from TypeScript without runtime dependencies.
    • Use for building lightweight HTTP servers with native Node.js API support compiled to native code.
    • Use for embedding npm packages dynamically into native executables to bundle dependencies without node_modules at runtime.

    From the README

    scriptc compiles TypeScript and JavaScript to native executables and WebAssembly. It uses TypeScript's type information to compile supported code to native instructions. Static builds run without Node.js or a JavaScript engine.

    For npm dependencies and any-typed code, enable --dynamic to include the embedded quickjs-ng engine. Dependency JavaScript is included at build time.

    scriptc is experimental and supports a subset of JavaScript, TypeScript, and Node.js APIs. See the limitations and Node.js compatibility reference before using it for an existing project.

    Install with Node.js 24 or later and npm:

    The installed compiler runs natively on supported macOS, Linux, and Windows hosts. Native compilation and execution do not require Node.js. Standalone compiler archives are also available from GitHub Releases.

    Executable builds require a platform linker and SDK/sysroot. See the quickstart for prerequisites and platform support for host requirements, cross-compilation, and WebAssembly.

    These examples use POSIX shell syntax. On Windows, build hello.exe and run it with .\hello.exe.

    Use scriptc coverage hello.ts to check which operations compile statically, require dynamic execution, or are unsupported. See coverage reports for details.
