Quick Start

Single File Transpile

# Output to stdout
zntc hello.ts

# Output to file
zntc hello.ts -o hello.js

Directory Transpile

zntc src/ --outdir dist/

Bundling

# Single bundle
zntc --bundle src/index.ts -o dist/bundle.js

# Code splitting
zntc --bundle src/index.ts --splitting --outdir dist/

# Library build (preserve module structure)
zntc --bundle src/index.ts --preserve-modules --outdir dist/

Minify

zntc --bundle src/index.ts -o dist/bundle.js --minify

Source Maps

zntc --bundle src/index.ts -o dist/bundle.js --sourcemap

Watch Mode

zntc --bundle src/index.ts -o dist/bundle.js --watch

Dev Server

# Static file serving
zntc --serve

# Bundle + HMR
zntc --serve --bundle src/index.ts

App Builder

For Vite-style index.html apps, use zntc dev / zntc build.

index.html

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/src/style.css" />
<script type="module" src="/src/main.ts"></script>

# HTML/env/public prepare + bundle + CSS HMR
zntc dev

# write dist/
zntc build

If the app root contains postcss.config.*, ZNTC applies it to CSS in both dev and build. Tailwind v4 uses @tailwindcss/postcss.
