External js files (import by main entry file) built without obfuscation or minify

[jooy2]

My project has the following directory structure:

src
    ㄴ main
        ㄴ utils
            test.js
        index.js
    ㄴ renderer
        main.js
        ...

If i build the package using vite-plugin-electron, the build succeeds, but when i import and use an external js file like the src/main/utils/test.js file, the file is built without minify or code obfuscation. The main/utils/test.js file in the build output path is the same as the existing file.

Is there a way to obfuscate (or minify) external js files other than the main entry file? Or is this a bug?

here is my vite.config.js:

import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
import electron from 'vite-plugin-electron'
import vue from '@vitejs/plugin-vue'
import { resolve, join } from 'path'
import { builtinModules } from 'module'

export default defineConfig({
  base: './',
  root: resolve('./src/renderer'),
  publicDir: resolve('./src/renderer/public'),
  build: {
    outDir: resolve('./dist')
  },
  plugins: [
    vue(),
    electron({
      main: {
        entry: 'src/main/index.js',
        vite: {
          publicDir: resolve('./src/main'),
          build: {
            emptyOutDir: true,
            assetsDir: '.',
            outDir: 'dist/main',
            rollupOptions: {
              external: [
                'electron',
                ...builtinModules
              ]
            }
          }
        }
      },
      renderer: {}
    })
  ]
})

Thank you.

All files will be built into one file into dist/electron/main/index.js by default.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I try to write efficient code by splitting multiple actions into each file.

So is there any other way to minify multiple files? I'd like to know how, if possible.
If not, are there any plans to fix it in the future?

Thanks,

Minify multiple files planned next version(coming soon). But waiting for Vite's lib.entry to support multi-entry, I have noticed that the latest code already supports multi-entry, ant it should be supported in Vite@3.2.0 version. I'm also waiting for it to be released. 😄

Thanks for the clear explanation! That is a good news. I will wait until it is officially supported, and i will check it as soon as it is supported.

You can close this issue now or after supported.
