Using compilers

Compile all components in the workspace:

$bit compile

Copied

The compiled code can be found in each component's corresponding package, in the workspace node_modules directory.

Run the the compiler in 'watch mode' (recompile on component changes):

$bit watch

Copied

When running Bit's dev server (bit start), the compiler runs in 'watch mode', by default.

Use the --check-types to get type errors during development (by default, type-checking happens only during build):

$bit watch --check-types project

Copied

Run the following to compile during build:

$bit build

Copied

By default, the compiler outputs the compiled files to the dist directory, in each component's capsule. In addition to the compiled JS files, the dist directory may include the generated declaration files, and copied files that cannot be compiled by the compiler.

For example:

.
├── welcome.d.ts
├── welcome.js
├── welcome.js.map
├── welcome.module.scss
├── index.d.ts
├── index.js
└── index.js.map
Copied
