I'm getting this error here:

$ ./build/dev/bin/package/bin/esbuild ./build/dev/javascript/esme/gleam.main.mjs --bundle --outfile=./dist/esme.mjs --format=esm
✘ [ERROR] Could not resolve "node:net"

    build/dev/javascript/node_socket_client/node_socket_client_ffi.mjs:1:23:
      1 │ import { Socket } from "node:net";
        ╵                        ~~~~~~~~~~

  The package "node:net" wasn't found on the file system but is built into node. Are you trying to
  bundle for node? You can use "--platform=node" to do that, which will remove this error.

1 error

How do I get around this?

Hello!

The module that contains the main function is bundled rather than actual entrypoint build/dev/javascript/$PACKAGE/gleam.main.mjs, so if the bundled program is run no code is executed. I think the bundle ought to have the same behaviour and entrypoint as gleam run.

When esgleam installs esbuild automatically, the JS implementation forces the use of the Erlang target.

In the context of a Gleam project that targets only JS this can be really confusing. I found out when my deployment CI failed after trying to execute escript despite me explicitly not installing Erlang because I wasn't supposed to need it.

Esbuild installs fine when running gleam run -m esgleam/install manually, which uses the JS target as prescribed by my project, so I'm not sure why the auto-install flow doesn't let that happen. I also tried removing --target=erlang from the JS implementation and didn't spot any obvious issues after using the auto-install.

Hello! Thank you for this project, it rules!

It would be cool if it automatically installed the dep if has not been done yet, like how gleam run does for Gleam deps.

Thanks,
Louis

The bundle and serve functionality is exposed to gleam code so you can run this stuff in a gleam program. I'd like to for that to be extended to the download/install functionality so I can call it from a wider CLI program.

One cool thing about TypeScript is the ability to use it without the build step on Deno or on nodejs (using esbuild-runner). It would be very cool to be able to use gleam in a similar fashion. Can esgleam be somehow integrated into esbuild-runner?
