nextvm build

Production build: compile TypeScript → JavaScript per module, generate fxmanifest.lua, bundle locales.

Synopsis

nextvm build [--quiet]

Options

Option	Description
--quiet	Suppress per-module output

What it does

Loads the project (nextvm.config.ts), discovers every module under modules/*, and for each module:

1. Resolves entry points (src/server/index.ts, src/client/index.ts, or single src/index.ts)
2. Runs tsup with format: 'esm' and outExtension: '.js'
3. Externalizes every workspace dep so the bundle stays lean
4. Generates fxmanifest.lua next to dist/
5. Bundles src/shared/locales/*.ts → dist/locales/*.json
6. Validates locale completeness (warnings on missing keys)
7. Prints a structured per-module summary

Example output

Building 3 module(s)
  ✓ @nextvm/banking (61ms)
  ✓ @nextvm/jobs (12ms)
  ✓ @nextvm/housing (10ms)
✓ Built 3 module(s) in 83ms

If a module has locale warnings:

  ⚠ @nextvm/banking (65ms)
    ⚠ locale 'de' missing key 'banking.new_field'

Exit codes

Code	Meaning
0	All modules built successfully
1	At least one module failed to build, or any error occurred

Output layout

For each module:

modules/<name>/
├── dist/
│   ├── server.js
│   ├── server.js.map
│   ├── client.js
│   ├── client.js.map
│   └── locales/
│       ├── en.json
│       └── de.json
└── fxmanifest.lua

Drop the entire modules/<name>/ folder into your FXServer's resources/ directory and ensure <name> in server.cfg.
