@brixtol/rollup-utils

Various rollup plugin utilities for working with packages in the Brixtol Textiles monorepo workspace. These utilities are a collection of commonly used modules leveraged in development for both closed and open source and modules across the Brixtol monorepo.

This module is also provided within @brixtol/rollup-config. If you are using that module then you do not need to install this.

Why?

We here at Brixtol Textiles leverage Rollup exclusively. This package is a collection of various utilities that assist in the bundling and transpilation process of JavaScript/TypeScript packages. The utilities exported in this module provide a clean and easy way to execute commonly used functions. Using this enables us to provide a DRY configuration export and improves productivity in the workspace.

Utilities

Export	Description
path(string)	Resolves a Path to location to current working directory.
env.*	Provides ENV operations for dev, prod and watch builds.
config.*	Enables package.json or other config files within rollup.config.mjs
banner({}, string)	Generates comment banner in bundles that includes License and information
jsonmin(string)	Minifies JSON, used with rollup-plugin-copy
date(utc?: Date | string)	Returns a pretty formatted date with number suffix, eg: 1st October 2021

Install

pnpm add @brixtol/rollup-utils --save-dev

This module is used together with @brixtol/rollup-config with all exports exposed from that module.

Usage

Typings explain the utilities in good detail. It's important that when using the env util environment values are passed on the command line using the Rollup --environment flag. Pass prod for production and either omit or pass dev for development.

Custom flags are not supported, only prod and dev are available, you can however pass a flag who's value evaluates to a 'true' or 'false' boolean.

import { env, config } from "@brixtol/rollup-utils";

export default {
  input: "src/file.js",
  output: {
    format: 'cjs',
    file: config.output.cjs, // The exports.require value in package.json
    sourcemap: env.is('dev', 'inline') // Inline sourcemap in development else false
    interop: 'default'
  },
  plugins: env.if('div')(
    [
      // Development plugins
    ]
  )(
    [
      // Production plugins
    ]
  )
}

env.*

The env export exposes a bunch of utility methods the pertain to the environment execution you a running a rollup build. This export is used together with rollup --environment flags.

env.dev

Returns a boolean of either true or false depending on the --environment flag value

env.prod

Returns a boolean of either true or false depending on the --environment flag value

env.watch

Returns a boolean of either true or false depending on the --environment flag value

env.vars

The env.vars method will return a parsed list of environment variables contained within a .env file. This method uses the dotenv package for this.

The .env file will be parsed using the default options of dotenv.

env.if

The env.if() allows us to use single file for development and production bundles. When an --environment flag is passed with a of value of prod the plugins are concatenated, so first curried parameter is combined with the second curried parameter, which should both be an array list of plugins[]. If you pass a boolean type to the first argument in the curry, then false will load dev plugins whereas true executes a concatenation.

The dev is default, so running rollup -c -w results in:

import { env } from '@brixtol/rollup-utils'

env.if('dev')([ plugin.commonjs(), plugin.ts() ])([ plugin.terser() ])
// => [ commonjs(), ts() ]

If you run rollup -c --environment prod it results in:

import { env } from '@brixtol/rollup-utils'


env.if('dev')([ plugin.commonjs(), plugin.ts() ])([ plugin.terser() ])
// => [ commonjs(), ts(), terser() ]

The value supplied must be a predefined value:

import { env } from '@brixtol/rollup-utils'

// VALID
env.if('dev')([])([])
env.if('prod')([])([])
env.if('watch')([])([])

// This will look for an env variable called "foo" and see if its value is "true" or "false"
env.if('foo')([])([])

Passing a boolean evaluation opposed to dev, prod or watch value:

import { env } from '@brixtol/rollup-utils'

// SAME AS PASSING "dev"
env.if(1 === 2)([])([])

// SAME AS PASSING "prod"
env.if(1 === 1)([])([])

env.is

Similar to the env.if() method the env.is() is a conditional executor. The env.is() method will either return the 2nd parameter when an --environment flag value is matched else it returns boolean false or null value (depending on the type passed). The 2nd parameter can be of a type string, boolean or rollup plugin().

The dev is default, so running rollup -c -w results in:

import { env } from '@brixtol/rollup-utils'

// String
env.is('dev', 'hello world')    // => 'hello world'
env.is('watch', 'hello world')  // => 'hello world'

//
// This will return false as we called -c and -w
//
env.is('prod', 'hello world')   // => false

// Plugins
env.is('dev', terser())    // => terser()
env.is('watch', terser())  // => terser()

//
// This will return null as we called -c and -w
//
env.is('prod', terser())   // => null

If you run rollup -c --environment prod it results in:

import { env } from '@brixtol/rollup-utils'

// String
env.is('prod', 'hello world')   // => 'hello world'

//
// These will return false because we have an "--environment prod" flag
//
env.is('dev', 'hello world')    // => false
env.is('watch', 'hello world')  // => false

// Plugins
env.is('prod', terser())   // => terser()

//
// These will return null because we have an "--environment prod" flag
//
env.is('dev', terser())    // => null
env.is('watch', terser())  // => null

config.*

The config export holds a parsed copy of different configuration files contained within your project. The methods give us a quick and effective way to read JSON files or get useful context about of current working directory.

config.cwd

Returns the current working directory path location (via process.cwd()).

config.external

Returns a string[] list of dependencies that can be passed to rollup.external[].

config.package

Returns the package.json file contained in your project. This method will give you an jsdoc annotated typing reference so you can quickly access fields.

config.tsconfig

Returns the tsconfig.json file contained in your project. This method will give you an jsdoc annotated typing reference so you can quickly access fields. If no file is found it returns null.

config.output{}

Returns values contained within your projects package.json file that can passed to rollup.output. This is a sugar method, you can access also access these fields via config.package. If no value is found it returns null.

import { config } from '@brixtol/rollup-utils'

// returns the value of exports.require
config.output.cjs

// returns the value of exports.import
config.output.esm;

// returns the exports value (string or object)
config.exports;

// returns the value of the main field
config.main;

// returns the value of the module field
config.module;

date

The date export returns UTC Time/Date in pretty format with suffixed number. Optionally accepts parameter value of UTC date string.

import { date } from '@brixtol/rollup-utils';

date(); // => 1st October 2021

path

The path export is a resolver function that will resolve paths from the current working directory. This is just sugar for path.resolve(process.cwd(), '/path/file.js') but uses the cached cwd reference. Helpful if you need complete paths.

jsonmin

The jsonmin export can be either used together with rollup-plugin-copy or process files separate from the rollup build. It will minify .json files. This export can also process JSON files using comments (.jsonc) and gracefully strip comments upon minification.

import { jsonmin } from '@brixtol/rollup-utils';

jsonmin(`/* comment */ { "field": "value" }`); // => {"field":"value"}

banner

The banner export can be passed to rollup.output.banner which will return an inline Licence. The licenses will use fields contained within your package.json to inform upon project specifics in the licenses (like copyright, version, author etc).

In your rollup.config.mjs file:

import { banner } from '@brixtol/rollup-utils';

export default {
  input: 'src/file.js',
  output: {
    banner: banner('MIT' | 'PROPRIETARY' | 'REFER')
    // ...
  }
};
