esbuild-plugin-copy

library2.1.1jsnpmunverified

ESBuild plugin for copying assets during builds. Current stable version 2.1.1, released under the LinbuduLab organization. Supports glob patterns, keeps file structure, has watching mode based on chokidar polling, and allows flexible destination configuration. Differentiates from simple shell commands by integrating directly into ESBuild's plugin lifecycle, offering verbose logging, and the ability to copy only on asset changes.

Verified usage

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

The plugin exports a named function, not a default export.

import { copy } from 'esbuild-plugin-copy'

Shows basic usage of the copy plugin with ESBuild, including watch mode and asset copy from ./assets to output directory.

import { build } from 'esbuild'; import { copy } from 'esbuild-plugin-copy'; (async () => { const res = await build({ entryPoints: ['./src/main.ts'], bundle: true, watch: true, outfile: './dist/main.js', plugins: [ copy({ resolveFrom: 'cwd', assets: { from: ['./assets/*'], to: ['./assets'], }, watch: true, }), ], }); })();

Debug

Known footguns

gotchaGlob pattern 'dir/*' does not expand directories; use 'dir/**/*' to include nested files.

gotchaWatching mode requires ESBuild's watch option to be enabled and only works for files outside absWorkingDir.

deprecatedThe 'resolveFrom' option may change behavior in future versions; rely on ESBuild's outdir/outfile by default.
