esbuild-plugin-time

library1.0.0jsnpmunverified

A simple esbuild plugin that measures and logs the build time. Current stable version is 1.0.0. It is a lightweight, zero-configuration plugin that wraps esbuild's build process to report duration. No breaking changes known, minimal API surface. Use it to gain insight into build performance with minimal overhead.

Verified usage

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

default export (time)

✓ import time from 'esbuild-plugin-time'

✗ const time = require('esbuild-plugin-time')

The package exports a single function as default. Use ESM import. For CommonJS, use dynamic import or wrap with require (not official).

require (CommonJS)

✓ const time = require('esbuild-plugin-time').default || require('esbuild-plugin-time')

✗ const time = require('esbuild-plugin-time')

In CommonJS, the default export is not directly accessible; you may need to access .default or rely on the package's CJS compatibility. Use ESM when possible.

TypeScript usage

✓ import time from 'esbuild-plugin-time'

✗ import { time } from 'esbuild-plugin-time'

The package does not export named 'time', only default. TypeScript users must import the default export. No types provided; use @types/esbuild or define your own.

Shows basic setup: import esbuild and the plugin, then use time() in the plugins array to log build duration.

import esbuild from 'esbuild'; import time from 'esbuild-plugin-time'; await esbuild.build({ entryPoints: ['./src/index.js'], bundle: true, outfile: './dist/index.js', plugins: [ time(), ], });

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe plugin always logs to console.log; cannot be silenced or redirected.

fix

No workaround. If you need silent builds, consider forking or not using this plugin.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaNo TypeScript definitions provided; you may encounter type errors if using strict TypeScript.

fix

Create your own type declaration file (e.g., declare module 'esbuild-plugin-time') or use @ts-ignore.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaPlugin does not support watch mode; duration is measured only for a single build invocation.

fix

If using watch mode, expect the timer to reset with each rebuild but no special behavior.

affects: >=1.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Cannot find module 'esbuild-plugin-time'

Package not installed or used without installing esbuild as a dependency.

fix

Run npm install --save-dev esbuild esbuild-plugin-time

require() of ES Module not supported

Using require() in a CommonJS context for an ESM-only package.

fix

Use dynamic import: const time = (await import('esbuild-plugin-time')).default; or switch to ESM.

TypeError: time is not a function

Importing as named export 'time' instead of default.

fix

Use import time from 'esbuild-plugin-time' (default import).
