bob-esbuild-plugin

library4.0.0jsnpmunverified

Rollup plugin that uses esbuild for fast transpilation and minification, integrated into the bob-esbuild build system. Current stable version is 4.0.0. It wraps esbuild's transform API and integrates with rollup, offering a simpler alternative to rollup-plugin-esbuild. Key differentiators: provides default behavior for TypeScript and JSX, automatic detection of tsconfig, and supports custom loaders. Part of the bob monorepo which includes bob-ts and bob-tsm. Released as needed, with recent patches focusing on TypeScript export ordering and package.json handling.

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

esbuildPlugin

✓ import { esbuildPlugin } from 'bob-esbuild-plugin'

✗ import esbuildPlugin from 'bob-esbuild-plugin'

Exported as a named export, not default.

bobEsbuild

✓ import bobEsbuild from 'bob-esbuild'

✗ import { bobEsbuild } from 'bob-esbuild'

bob-esbuild package re-exports the plugin as default export from its main entry.

require('bob-esbuild-plugin')

✓ const { esbuildPlugin } = require('bob-esbuild-plugin')

✗ const esbuildPlugin = require('bob-esbuild-plugin')

CJS users must destructure the named export.

Shows minimal setup to bundle a TypeScript file using esbuild transformation via rollup.

import { esbuildPlugin } from 'bob-esbuild-plugin'; import { rollup } from 'rollup'; async function build() { const bundle = await rollup({ input: 'src/index.ts', plugins: [esbuildPlugin()] }); await bundle.write({ dir: 'dist', format: 'esm' }); } build().catch(console.error);
