The generated JS works on any JS environment that supports ECMAScript 2017, including browser and Node.js.

fus (compile | c) [--map] <file-or-directory> [<target-file-or-directory>]

fus (legacy-compile | lc) [--map] <file-or-directory> [<target-file-or-directory>]

fus (version | v | --version)

fus --help

To compile (to .mjs), use compile or c.

To compile (to .js), use legacy-compile or lc.

Those two are exactly the same except for the file extension.

--map will add the line numbers of the source to the generated code. Useful for debugging. (Note: this is not "source map", which is another technology.)

Because we use a very sophisticated versioning model that all historical compilers are kept, there's really no need to install it to your project directory - conflicts are very unlikely. But if you really "hate global", to avoid waste of disk space, it should be stated in "devDependencies", not "dependencies" (particularly when you're writing a middleware).

Examples

Compile "a.fus" to "a.mjs":

fus compile a.fus

Compile for debugging:

fus compile --map a.fus

Compile the whole "lib" directory to "target":

fus compile lib target
