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
