On application startup I assemble together the various front end files I need and store this in memory as a string. When the server sees a request for the desired page I respond with the desired string.

Since I am not handcuffed by some giant framework I have maximum flexibility to do what makes sense.

So in other words, you created your own bundler?

Node isn't actually doing the work for you on the front-end.

Again, I never said Node is did anything for the front end.

Again, yes you explicitly did:

It sounds like you're just making stuff up.

If you hire me as a consultant I will do it for you at $150 per hour.

You said:

Then you said:

> I never said Node is did anything for the front end.

So which is it?

Since you need just a little help…

Yes, I push all my TS code through Node for type stripping. No, Node is not executing browser code. No, I am not suggesting Node is running in the browser.

For extra extra extra clarity importing functions in JavaScript does not execute them. They still have to be called for them to execute.

I am still willing to fix your code for a consultation fee.
