Description

An esbuild plugin to wrap your js into UMD format.

Installation

yarn add -D esbuild-plugin-umd-wrapper
# or
npm install -D esbuild-plugin-umd-wrapper

Usage

const esbuild = require("esbuild");
const { umdWrapper } = require("esbuild-plugin-umd-wrapper");

esbuild
  .build({
    entryPoints: ["src/input.js"],
    outdir: "dist",
    bundle: true,
    format: "umd", // or "cjs"
    plugins: [umdWrapper()],
  })
  .then((result) => console.log(result))
  .catch(() => process.exit(1));

Customize the wrapper.

See all options.

esbuild.build({
  entryPoints: ["src/input.js"],
  outdir: "dist",
  bundle: true,
  format: "umd", // or "cjs"
  plugins: [umdWrapper({ libraryName: "myLibrary" })],
});

Wrapper options will be applied for all entryPoints.


Notes

The plugin will be triggered only if esbuild format is set to "cjs" or "umd".
Before esbuild execution the plugin will set that option to "cjs".

Known Issues

Internally the wrapper plugin uses esbuild's banner and footer options to create UMD.
In consequence running multiple esbuild builds concurrently reusing the same Build option object references MAY produce unexpected build output Ex:

const options = {
  entryPoints: ["src/input.js"],
  outdir: "dist",
  bundle: true,
  format: "umd",
  plugins: [umdWrapper({ libraryName: "myLibrary" })],
};

// ❌ avoid this
await Promise.all([esbuild.build(options), esbuild.build({ ...options, minify: true, outdir: "dist/min" })]);
// ❌ avoid this
esbuild.build(options);
esbuild.build({ ...options, minify: true, outdir: "dist/min" });
// ✅ Its better
await esbuild.build(options);
await esbuild.build({ ...options, minify: true, outdir: "dist/min" });

When I use export default myFunc, resulting output is not directly callable!
Instead it's an object {__esModule: true, default: myFunc}

This is not a bug, and it's not related to umd-wrapper-plugin.
This is how esbuild transpiles export default to CJS.

As a workaround use exports = myFunc.
