esbuild-config

library1.0.1jsnpmunverified

A Rust-based CLI tool that converts a JSON configuration file (esbuild.config.json) into command-line arguments for esbuild. Version 1.0.1, released with Windows binary path fix and arm64 support on macOS/Linux. Unlike other config wrappers, esbuild-config does no validation, making it version-independent; it only translates JSON types to esbuild's argument format. It can be installed via npm, Cargo, or precompiled binaries. The project is developed in Rust and is currently in active maintenance mode.

Code

Verified usage

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

esbuild-config

✓ npx esbuild-config

✗ require('esbuild-config')

This package is a CLI tool, not a library. Use npx or install globally.

esbuild.config.json

✓ Create esbuild.config.json and run `esbuild $(esbuild-config)`

✗ Importing a default config from node_modules

The tool reads a config file; there is no programmatic API.

Creates a simple esbuild config JSON file and runs esbuild-config to output the corresponding CLI arguments.

echo '{ "entry": "./index.js", "outfile": "./bundle.js", "external": ["react", "react-dom"], "loader": { ".js": "jsx", ".png": "base64" }, "minify": true }' > esbuild.config.json npx esbuild-config

esbuild-config --version

Known issues

gotchaThe package does not validate configuration values; invalid options will be passed to esbuild and may cause errors.

fix

Double-check all config keys against esbuild's CLI options.

affects: >=0.1.0

gotchaThe entry field is moved to the end of the argument list automatically. If you pass multiple entry points as an array, they will all appear at the end.

fix

Use an array for multiple entry points, and note that the order in the array determines the order in the output.

affects: >=0.1.0
