Pass options to esbuild

[dominik-zeglen]

So i have this use case that somewhere in the code I'm importing some .svg files and at this moment esrun doesn't seem to have ability to add empty loader for these. Would it be possible to do something like this?

$ npx @digitak/esrun --esbuild-loader:.svg=empty script.ts

I tried to implement this, but it's complicated because Esrun and Esbuild do not have the same way of handling CLI parameters. It would be fine when you pass only one parameter, but hard and buggy if you would try to pass an array of parameters.

I advise you to create a script for that:

// myScript.ts
import esrun from "@digitak/esrun"

esrun("path/to/script.ts", {
  esbuildOptions: {
    // ... well-typed esbuild options
  }
})

You need the latest version to add the options this way.

You can the run this script with esrun itself (that's esrunception 😄).
