esbuild-plugin-node-polyfills

library1.0.2jsnpmunverified

Provides Node.js built-in module polyfills for esbuild bundler, similar to Webpack's 'node' option. Version 1.0.2 (latest, 2021) is stable but unmaintained since. Requires manual installation of peer dependencies: browserify-zlib, buffer, crypto-browserify, events, https-browserify, os-browserify, path-browserify, process, stream-browserify, stream-http, url, util. Compared to alternatives like @esbuild-plugins/node-globals-polyfills, this plugin offers a more complete set of polyfills but lacks ESM support and TypeScript definitions.

ESBuildNodePolyfillsPlugin

✓ const ESBuildNodePolyfillsPlugin = require('esbuild-plugin-node-polyfills');

✗ import ESBuildNodePolyfillsPlugin from 'esbuild-plugin-node-polyfills';

The package uses CommonJS; no ESM export is provided. Use require.

Demonstrates how to configure esbuild with the node polyfills plugin using CommonJS.

const ESBuildNodePolyfillsPlugin = require('esbuild-plugin-node-polyfills'); const esbuild = require('esbuild'); require('esbuild').build({ entryPoints: ['src/index.js'], bundle: true, outfile: 'dist/bundle.js', plugins: [ESBuildNodePolyfillsPlugin], }).catch(() => process.exit(1));

Debug

Known issues

gotchaAll dependencies must be installed manually as peer dependencies; automatic installation is not provided.

fix

Run: npm install browserify-zlib buffer crypto-browserify events https-browserify os-browserify path-browserify process stream-browserify stream-http url util

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaThe plugin only works with CommonJS; it cannot be imported using ES module syntax (import).

fix

Use require() instead of import.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaPolyfills are injected globally, which may cause unexpected side effects in libraries that expect the original Node.js behavior.

fix

Consider using @esbuild-plugins/node-globals-polyfills for more controlled polyfilling.

affects: >=1.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Cannot find module 'buffer'

Missing peer dependency 'buffer' is not installed.

fix

npm install buffer

Error: The plugin 'ESBuildNodePolyfillsPlugin' is not a function

Using import instead of require; the package exports a function via CommonJS.

fix

Change to: const ESBuildNodePolyfillsPlugin = require('esbuild-plugin-node-polyfills');
