Get started

koala needs that you input an entrypoint to itself work and the entrypoint is just a file that koala will read like a hub to call others files, follow the sample of one entry file named as ./entry.js.

'use strict';

include lib/hello.js

hello("Koala");

The entry file above is used to find out the targets that is just the line of entry file prefixed with a tag, see the example below, where the tag is named as include.

include lib/hello.js

Now, look the external file at ./lib/hello.js where the koala named it as library, follow the sample below.

function hello(name) {
  console.log(`Hello, ${name}`);
}

Now, look the output file at ./bin/out.js and execute, this example execute the koala and node.js together.

'use strict';

function hello(name) {
  console.log(`Hello, ${name}`);
}

hello("Koala")

> koala ./entry.js ./bin/out.js include && node ./bin/out.js
