esbuild-plugin-commands

This is a plugin for esbuild that runs commands after the build succeeded or failed and also makes sure to kill previous processes everytime.

It is particulary useful to restart the app after build.

Usage

Install esbuild and the plugin

npm install -D esbuild
npm install -D esbuild-plugin-commands

Set up a build script

import { build } from 'esbuild';
import { esbuildCommands } from 'esbuild-plugin-commands';

await build({
	entryPoints: ['index.js'],
	outdir: 'dist',
	platform: 'node',
	target: 'node14',
	bundle: true,
	sourcemap: 'external',
	watch: true,
	plugins: [esbuildCommands({ onSuccess: 'node --inspect dist/index.js' })],
});

Run your builder.
