There are two primary mechanisms for configuring the behavior of JSTime.
- environment variables
bunfig.toml: JSTime’s configuration file
Configuring with bunfig.toml is optional. JSTime aims to be zero-configuration out of the box, but is also highly configurable for advanced use cases. Your bunfig.toml should live in your project root alongside package.json.
You can also create a global configuration file at the following paths:
$HOME/.bunfig.toml
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/.bunfig.toml
If both a global and local bunfig are detected, the results are shallow-merged, with local overridding global. CLI flags will override bunfig setting where applicable.
Runtime
# scripts to run before `jstime run`ning a file or script
# useful for registering plugins
preload = ["./preload.ts"]
# equivalent to corresponding tsconfig compilerOptions
jsx = "react"
jsxFactory = "h"
jsxFragment = "Fragment"
jsxImportSource = "react"
# Reduce memory usage at the cost of performance
smol = true
# Set JSTime's log level
logLevel = "debug" # "debug", "warn", "error"
[define]
# Replace any usage of "process.env.bagel" with the string `lox`.
# The values are parsed as JSON, except single-quoted strings are supported and `'undefined'` becomes `undefined` in JS.
# This will probably change in a future release to be just regular TOML instead. It is a holdover from the CLI argument parsing.
"process.env.bagel" = "'lox'"
[loader]
# When loading a .bagel file, run the JS parser
".bagel" = "js"
Test runner
[test]
# Scripts to run before all test files
preload = ["./setup.ts"]
# Reduce memory usage at the cost of performance
smol = true
Package manager
Package management is a complex issue; to support a range of use cases, the behavior of jspm install can be configured in bunfig.toml.
Default flags
The following settings modify the core behavior of JSTime’s package management commands. The default values are shown below.
[install]
# whether to install optionalDependencies
optional = true
# whether to install devDependencies
dev = true
# whether to install peerDependencies
peer = false
# equivalent to `--production` flag
production = false
# equivalent to `--frozen-lockfile` flag
frozenLockfile = false
# equivalent to `--dry-run` flag
dryRun = false
Private scopes and registries
The default registry is https://registry.npmjs.org/. This can be globally configured in bunfig.toml:
[install]
# set default registry as a string
registry = "https://registry.npmjs.org"
# set a token
registry = { url = "https://registry.npmjs.org", token = "123456" }
# set a username/password
registry = "https://username:password@registry.npmjs.org"
To configure scoped registries:
[install.scopes]
# registry as string
myorg1 = "https://username:password@registry.myorg.com/"
# registry with username/password
# you can reference environment variables
myorg12 = { username = "myusername", password = "$NPM_PASS", url = "https://registry.myorg.com/" }
# registry with token
myorg3 = { token = "$npm_token", url = "https://registry.myorg.com/" }
Cache
To configure caching behavior:
[install]
# where `jspm install --global` installs packages
globalDir = "~/.jstime/install/global"
# where globally-installed package bins are linked
globalBinDir = "~/.jstime/bin"
[install.cache]
# the directory to use for the cache
dir = "~/.jstime/install/cache"
# when true, don't load from the global cache.
# JSTime may still write to node_modules/.cache
disable = false
# when true, always resolve the latest versions from the registry
disableManifest = false
Lockfile
To configure lockfile behavior:
[install.lockfile]
# path to read jspm.lockb from
path = "jspm.lockb"
# path to save jspm.lockb to
savePath = "jspm.lockb"
# whether to save the lockfile to disk
save = true
# whether to save a non-JSTime lockfile alongside jspm.lockb
# only "yarn" is supported
print = "yarn"
Debugging
[debug]
# When navigating to a blob: or src: link, open the file in your editor
# If not, it tries $EDITOR or $VISUAL
# If that still fails, it will try Visual Studio Code, then Sublime Text, then a few others
# This is used by JSTime.openInEditor()
editor = "code"
# List of editors:
# - "subl", "sublime"
# - "vscode", "code"
# - "textmate", "mate"
# - "idea"
# - "webstorm"
# - "nvim", "neovim"
# - "vim","vi"
# - "emacs"
Environment variables
These environment variables are checked by JSTime to detect functionality and toggle features.
| Name | Description |
|---|
TMPDIR | JSTime occasionally requires a directory to store intermediate assets during bundling or other operations. If unset, defaults to the platform-specific temporary directory: /tmp on Linux, /private/tmp on macOS. |
NO_COLOR | If NO_COLOR=1, then ANSI color output is disabled. |
FORCE_COLOR | If FORCE_COLOR=1, then ANSI color output is force enabled, even if NO_COLOR is set. |
DO_NOT_TRACK | If DO_NOT_TRACK=1, then analytics are disabled. JSTime records bundle timings (so we can answer with data, “is JSTime getting faster?”) and feature usage (e.g., “are people actually using macros?”). The request body size is about 60 bytes, so it’s not a lot of data. |
