What it does
Chef bundles Bitrix JS extensions with Rollup, Babel and PostCSS, type-checks TypeScript and runs ESLint. Unit tests with Mocha and Chai run in real browsers via Playwright, and E2E tests are supported too. chef create scaffolds a new extension, chef flow-to-ts migrates Flow code to TypeScript, and chef diag reports dependencies, bundle sizes, cycles and unused extensions.
Who it is for. Frontend developers writing JS extensions for Bitrix and Bitrix24.
Good fit when
- You create a new extension in local/js and want a ready structure
- You migrate legacy extensions from Flow to TypeScript
- You need to run extension tests in a browser from CI
- You look for the cause of a bloated bundle or circular dependencies
Not a fit when
- The project is not built on Bitrix
- You need to change the PHP part of a module: Chef handles only JS and CSS
Example request
Create a vendor.orders extension with chef, set up bundle.config.ts for TypeScript and build itLimitations
Requires Node.js 22+ and a Bitrix project or module source directory. Tests need a local Bitrix installation, credentials in .env.test and Playwright browsers.
How to disable. Remove the package with npm uninstall -g @bitrix/chef and the VCS hooks if you installed them with chef init hooks.
FAQ
Where does Chef get target browsers?
First from targets in bundle.config.ts, then from .browserslistrc, and otherwise it uses baseline widely available.
Can I set rules for all extensions?
Yes, with chef.config.ts in the project root using the deny, defaults and enforce sections.
