esbuild-plugin-browserify-adapter

library0.1.5jsnpmunverified

Adapter (v0.1.5, low activity) that lets you use Browserify transforms as esbuild plugins. Designed for gradual migration from Browserify to esbuild, it passes transforms in order and supports options via array wrapping. Does not support Browserify plugins. Not intended as permanent solution for heavy transform usage.

Code

Verified usage

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

default

✓ const browserifyAdapter = require('esbuild-plugin-browserify-adapter')

✗ import browserifyAdapter from 'esbuild-plugin-browserify-adapter'

CJS default export – lacks ESM entry, so import syntax fails.

browserifyAdapter

✓ const browserifyAdapter = require('esbuild-plugin-browserify-adapter')

✗ const { browserifyAdapter } = require('esbuild-plugin-browserify-adapter')

Package exports default function, not named export.

plugin usage

✓ browserifyAdapter(coffeeify, [envify, opts])

✗ browserifyAdapter(coffeeify, envify, opts)

Options must be passed as tuple: [transform, opts].

Builds an app using coffeeify and envify via the browserify adapter plugin.

const esbuild = require('esbuild'); const coffeeify = require('coffeeify'); const envify = require('envify'); const browserifyAdapter = require('esbuild-plugin-browserify-adapter'); esbuild.build({ entryPoints: ['./app.coffee'], bundle: true, plugins: [browserifyAdapter(coffeeify, [envify, { BUNDLE_TIME: new Date().toJSON() }])], outdir: './public' }).catch(() => process.exit(1));

Debug

Known issues

breakingDoes not work with Browserify plugins (only transforms).

fix

Use only Browserify transforms, not plugins like browserify-css.

affects: all

gotchaOptions must be passed as an array [transform, options] – not as separate arguments.

fix

Wrap transform and options in an array: browserifyAdapter([transform, opts])

affects: all

gotchaThe adapter is intended for migration, not permanent use with heavy transform usage (may cause performance issues or incompatibilities).

fix

Consider native esbuild plugins for long-term solutions.

affects: all
