Expose rollup config for custom plugins

[mlynch]

I'd love to be able to use, say, a rollup replacement plugin for string replace. Can we somehow expose the rollup config to users to add whatever they fancy?

You already have this option. Just declare an array named "plugins" in the config file. Each item from the array is a plugin. You can find the interface here: https://github.com/ionic-team/stencil/blob/master/src/declarations/plugin.ts

Would be great have some doc's on that 👍

There you go. A minimal example of a plugin converting postcss files to css files using cssnext plugin:

{
  name: 'postcss-loader',
  transform(sourceText, importee) {
    if (importee.indexOf('.pcss') !== -1) {
      const promise = new Promise((resolve) => {
        require('postcss')([
          require('postcss-cssnext')()
        ])
          .process(sourceText, {
            from: importee
          })
          .then((data) => {
            resolve(data.css);
          })
      });

      return promise;
    } else {
      return Promise.resolve({
        code: sourceText
      });
    }
  }
}

Ah, yes 😅I don't believe this exposes Rollup though. It'd be nice to be able to use the existing rollup plugins

[mlynch]

Okay, it seems like the plugins list only transforms sass files at this point

Hello @mlynch,

Please have a look here: https://github.com/bfmatei/stencil-boilerplate/tree/develop

Hints:

1. Look in stencil.config.js for the plugins array
2. Look in the plugins folder for the PostCSS plugin definition (I wrote it yesterday)

[mlynch]

@bfmatei yes, I see it. The plugins are only called for Sass files right now. I need to run a transform on tsx files, and I want to use existing rollup plugins.

[bfmatei]

Sorry mate, i missed the part with style files only (hint: it triggers for postcss files for example, not just sass). I just checked with ts and tsx files and you are right :).
