# bp build and bp bundle

> Build and bundle your Botpress project

Build and bundle commands compile your TypeScript code and generate type definitions.

## bp build

Generate types and bundle code:

```bash theme={null}
bp build
```

This command:

1. Runs `bp generate` to create type definitions
2. Runs `bp bundle` to compile code

## bp bundle

Bundle code without generating types:

```bash theme={null}
bp bundle
```

Creates:

* CommonJS bundle: `.botpress/dist/index.cjs`
* ESM bundle: `.botpress/dist/index.mjs`

## Options

### --workDir

Specify working directory:

```bash theme={null}
bp build --workDir ./my-project
```

## Build output

Build creates:

```
.botpress/
├── dist/
│   ├── index.cjs    # CommonJS bundle
│   └── index.mjs    # ESM bundle
└── types/           # Generated types
```

## bp generate

Generate only type definitions:

```bash theme={null}
bp generate
```

Alias: `bp gen`

Generates TypeScript types in `.botpress/` directory.
