rollup-plugin-esbuild-minify

library1.3.0jsnpmunverified

Rollup plugin that minifies or cleans up generated bundles using esbuild. Current stable version 1.3.0 (April 2025), with an active release cadence supporting Rollup 2, 3, and 4. It is simpler than rollup-plugin-esbuild as it focuses solely on minification of bundled JavaScript output, and is faster than @rollup/plugin-terser. Supports configurable log level, log limit, legal comment handling, and a minify toggle to pretty-print instead. Requires Node.js 14.18+ and Rollup ^2 || ^3 || ^4 as a peer dependency.

Verified usage

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

minify

✓ import { minify } from 'rollup-plugin-esbuild-minify'

✗ const minify = require('rollup-plugin-esbuild-minify')

ESM-only since v1.0.0; CommonJS require() will fail unless using a bundler that interops.

Basic Rollup configuration using the minify plugin with options for logging and legal comments.

import { minify } from 'rollup-plugin-esbuild-minify'; export default { input: 'src/index.js', output: { file: 'dist/bundle.js', format: 'iife', sourcemap: true }, plugins: [ minify({ logLevel: 'warning', logLimit: 10, legalComments: 'none', minify: true }) ] };

Debug

Known issues

gotchaSetting minify to false will pretty-print the code, not leave it untouched. This can cause unexpected transformations if you only want to disable minification.

fix

To disable minification entirely, set minify: false, but be aware that esbuild still reformats the code.

affects: >=1.1.0

deprecatedRollup v2 support deprecated since v1.1.1; v1.1.2 added exports field, but Rollup 2 still works.

fix

Upgrade to v1.2.0+ or keep using v1.1.x if stuck on Rollup 2.

affects: >=1.1.1 <1.2.0

breakingv1.1.1 dropped support for Rollup <2; v1.1.2 added exports field that may break CJS bundlers that don't understand exports.

fix

Use a bundler that supports the exports field, or stay on v1.1.0.

affects: >=1.1.1

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module ... from ... not supported.

Using CommonJS require() to import an ESM-only package.

fix

Use import syntax: import { minify } from 'rollup-plugin-esbuild-minify'

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

The plugin expects esbuild to be installed as a peer dependency, but it's missing.

fix

Install esbuild: npm install esbuild
