An npm package exposing the pure-JavaScript version of Google Closure Compiler, allowing JavaScript checking, transpilation, optimization, and minification without requiring Java. It provides a programmatic API, CLI, and webpack/gulp plugins, but is now deprecated in favor of the main google-closure-compiler npm package.
Use cases
- minify javascript without installing java
- compile es6 to es5 in node
- check javascript for syntax and type errors
- compress javascript in a webpack build
- optimize javascript in a gulp pipeline
- run closure compiler entirely in javascript
When to choose
- you need Closure Compiler in a Java-free JavaScript environment and are pinned to this legacy package
When to avoid
- starting a new project - use the google-closure-compiler npm package instead
- you need full feature parity or performance of the Java implementation
- you need actively maintained tooling
