  • Add support for node's "pattern trailers" syntax (#​2569)

    After esbuild implemented node's exports feature in package.json, node changed the feature to also allow text after * wildcards in patterns. Previously the * was required to be at the end of the pattern. It lets you do something like this:

    {
      "exports": {
        "./features/*": "./features/*.js",
        "./features/*.js": "./features/*.js"
      }
    }

    With this release, esbuild now supports these types of patterns too.

  • Fix subpath imports with Yarn PnP (#​2545)

    Node has a little-used feature called subpath imports which are package-internal imports that start with # and that go through the imports map in package.json. Previously esbuild had a bug that caused esbuild to not handle these correctly in packages installed via Yarn's "Plug'n'Play" installation strategy. The problem was that subpath imports were being checked after Yarn PnP instead of before. This release reorders these checks, which should allow subpath imports to work in this case.

  • Link from JS to CSS in the metafile (#​1861, #​2565)

    When you import CSS into a bundled JS file, esbuild creates a parallel CSS bundle next to your JS bundle. So if app.ts imports some CSS files and you bundle it, esbuild will give you app.js and app.css. You would then add both <script src="app.js"></script> and <link href="app.css" rel="stylesheet"> to your HTML to include everything in the page. This approach is more efficient than having esbuild insert additional JavaScript into app.js that downloads and includes app.css because it means the browser can download and parse both the CSS and the JS in parallel (and potentially apply the CSS before the JS has even finished downloading).

    However, sometimes it's difficult to generate the <link> tag. One case is when you've added [hash] to the entry names setting to include a content hash in the file name. Then the file name will look something like app-GX7G2SBE.css and may change across subsequent builds. You can tell esbuild to generate build metadata using the metafile API option but the metadata only tells you which generated JS bundle corresponds to a JS entry point (via the entryPoint property), not which file corresponds to the associated CSS bundle. Working around this was hacky and involved string manipulation.

    This release adds the cssBundle property to the metafile to make this easier. It's present on the metadata for the generated JS bundle and points to the associated CSS bundle. So to generate the HTML tags for a given JS entry point, you first find the output file with the entryPoint you are looking for (and put that in a <script> tag), then check for the cssBundle property to find the associated CSS bundle (and put that in a <link> tag).

    One thing to note is that there is deliberately no jsBundle property mapping the other way because it's not a 1:1 relationship. Two JS bundles can share the same CSS bundle in the case where the associated CSS bundles have the same name and content. In that case there would be no one value for a hypothetical jsBundle property to have.

v0.15.9

  • Fix an obscure npm package installation issue with --omit=optional (#​2558)

    The previous release introduced a regression with npm install esbuild --omit=optional where the file node_modules/.bin/esbuild would no longer be present after installation. That could cause any package scripts which used the esbuild command to no longer work. This release fixes the regression so node_modules/.bin/esbuild should now be present again after installation. This regression only affected people installing esbuild using npm with either the --omit=optional or --no-optional flag, which is a somewhat unusual situation.

    More details:

    The reason for this regression is due to some obscure npm implementation details. Since the Go compiler doesn't support trivial cross-compiling on certain Android platforms, esbuild's installer installs a WebAssembly shim on those platforms instead. In the previous release I attempted to simplify esbuild's WebAssembly shims to depend on the esbuild-wasm package instead of including another whole copy of the WebAssembly binary (to make publishing faster and to save on file system space after installation). However, both the esbuild package and the esbuild-wasm package provide a binary called esbuild and it turns out that adding esbuild-wasm as a nested dependency of the esbuild package (specifically esbuild optionally depends on @esbuild/android-arm which depends on esbuild-wasm) caused npm to be confused about what node_modules/.bin/esbuild is supposed to be.

    It's pretty strange and unexpected that disabling the installation of optional dependencies altogether would suddenly cause an optional dependency's dependency to conflict with the top-level package. What happens under the hood is that if --omit=optional is present, npm attempts to uninstall the esbuild-wasm nested dependency at the end of npm install (even though the esbuild-wasm package was never installed due to --omit=optional). This uninstallation causes node_modules/.bin/esbuild to be deleted.

    After doing a full investigation, I discovered that npm's handling of the .bin directory is deliberately very brittle. When multiple packages in the dependency tree put something in .bin with the same name, the end result is non-deterministic/random. What you get in .bin might be from one package, from the other package, or might be missing entirely. The workaround suggested by npm is to just avoid having two packages that put something in .bin with the same name. So this was fixed by making the @esbuild/android-arm and esbuild-android-64 packages each include another whole copy of the WebAssembly binary, which works because these packages don't put anything in .bin.
