esbuild-plugin-entry-chunks

library0.1.21jsnpmunverified

An esbuild plugin (v0.1.21) that composes entry points as static chunks without extracting common code, addressing the missing manual-chunks API. It allows one entry point to reuse another as a dependency without duplicating contents. Released as a PoC, with esbuild >=0.19.0 as a peer dependency. Primary alternative to esbuild's code-splitting with dynamic imports for static chunk composition.

entryChunksPlugin

✓ import { entryChunksPlugin } from 'esbuild-plugin-entry-chunks'

✗ const entryChunksPlugin = require('esbuild-plugin-entry-chunks').entryChunksPlugin

Package ships TypeScript types and supports ESM; CommonJS require needs .entryChunksPlugin

default

✓ import entryChunksPlugin from 'esbuild-plugin-entry-chunks'

✗ import { default as entryChunksPlugin } from 'esbuild-plugin-entry-chunks'

Default export available as named export 'entryChunksPlugin'

EntryChunksPluginOptions

✓ import { EntryChunksPluginOptions } from 'esbuild-plugin-entry-chunks'

✗ const EntryChunksPluginOptions = require('esbuild-plugin-entry-chunks').EntryChunksPluginOptions

TypeScript type export; not available at runtime in CJS

Builds multiple entry points with static chunk composition using esbuild and esbuild-plugin-entry-chunks.

import { build } from 'esbuild'; import { entryChunksPlugin } from 'esbuild-plugin-entry-chunks'; const plugin = entryChunksPlugin(); const config = { entryPoints: ['a.ts', 'b.ts', 'c.ts'], plugins: [plugin], external: ['node:*'], bundle: true, minify: false, sourcemap: false, format: 'esm', allowOverwrite: true, }; await build(config);

Debug

Known issues

gotchaPlugin may cause output files to contain re-exported symbols from other entry points without extracting common code, leading to potential duplication across bundles.

fix

Ensure entry points are designed to be composed as dependencies (e.g., index.js vs cli.js). Use allowOverwrite: true to avoid errors.

affects: >=0.1.0

gotchaRequires esbuild >=0.19.0 due to plugin API changes; older esbuild versions may fail to load the plugin.

fix

Update esbuild to >=0.19.0.

affects: <0.19.0

gotchaPlugin is in PoC status; not recommended for production use without extensive testing.

fix

Evaluate stability and test thoroughly before using in production.

affects: >=0.1.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error: Plugin 'entry-chunks' must be used with 'bundle: true'

The plugin requires bundling to function; bundle option not set.

fix

Set bundle: true in esbuild config.

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'length')

Entry points array is empty or undefined.

fix

Ensure entryPoints is an array with at least one file path.
