Question 1

How do I customize the HTML template in Bankai?

Accepted Answer

Create an index.html file in your project root, and Bankai will inject tags into it; you can also use documentify transforms in package.json to modify headers and other elements, as shown in the custom HTML and injecting headers sections.

Question 2

Bankai vs Parcel: which is better for simple web projects?

Accepted Answer

Bankai excels with zero-configuration and built-in optimizations for Choo.js, while Parcel offers broader framework agnosticism and asset handling; choose Bankai for Choo-focused rapid prototyping, Parcel for more diverse toolchains.

Question 3

Can I use Bankai with React or Vue.js?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but with limitations: Bankai is framework-agnostic for basic bundling, but features like server-side rendering are optimized for Choo.js, requiring extra configuration or community plugins for full React/Vue integration.

Question 4

How to add environment variables in Bankai?

Accepted Answer

Use envify transform via package.json configuration to inject environment variables into your bundle, enabling conditional code paths and optimizations as mentioned in the JavaScript optimizations list.

Question 5

Does Bankai support TypeScript or modern JS features?

Accepted Answer

Bankai uses Babel with default browser targets, supporting modern JavaScript via .babelrc files, but TypeScript requires additional Browserify transforms and manual setup, not included out-of-the-box.

Question 6

What happens if Bankai's HTTPS warning won't go away?

Accepted Answer

Follow the browser-specific instructions in the README to trust the self-signed certificate permanently; if issues persist, ensure no network proxies are interfering and regenerate certificates by reinstalling Bankai.
