# Bare

Small and modular JavaScript runtime for desktop and mobile. Like Node.js, it provides an asynchronous, event-driven architecture for writing applications in the lingua franca of modern software. Unlike Node.js, it makes embedding and cross-device support core use cases, aiming to run just as well on your phone as on your laptop. The result is a runtime ideal for networked, peer-to-peer applications that can run on a wide selection of hardware.

```sh
npm i -g bare
```

## Usage

```console
bare [flags] [filename] [...args]

Evaluate a script or start a REPL session if no script is provided.

Arguments:
  [filename]              Optional. The name of a script to evaluate
  [...args]               Additional arguments made available to the script

Flags:
  --version|-v            Print the Bare version
  --eval|-e <script>      Evaluate an inline script
  --print|-p <script>     Evaluate an inline script and print the result
  --inspect               Activate the inspector
  --inspect-port <port>   Configure the port on which the inspector will run (default: 9229)
  --expose-gc             Expose garbage collection APIs
  --help|-h               Show help
```

The specified `<script>` or `<filename>` is run using `Module.load()`. For more information on the module system and the supported formats, see <https://github.com/holepunchto/bare-module>.

When imported, the module exports the global `Bare` namespace. See <https://github.com/holepunchto/bare#api> for the API documentation.

```js
const Bare = require('bare')
```
