Bankai is a zero-configuration web compiler CLI that bundles JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, with a built-in development server supporting HTTPS on localhost. It is part of the Choo ecosystem and built on Browserify.
Use cases
- compile javascript html and css for the web without config
- start a local https dev server for a frontend project
- bundle a choo app to static files in dist
- visualize bundle dependencies of a project
- zero-config alternative to webpack for small sites
When to choose
- building small Choo or Browserify-based web apps with zero setup
- you want a simple build + dev server in one tool
- prototyping quickly without configuring a bundler
When to avoid
- large modern apps needing code-splitting, tree-shaking, or framework tooling
- projects already standardized on webpack, Vite, or esbuild
- you need actively maintained tooling - releases have slowed since 2022
