RNA Bundler • A JavaScript, CSS and HTML bundler based on esbuild.

NPM


Install

The bundler is part of the @chialab/rna cli, but you can use it as a module.

npm i @chialab/rna-bundler -D
yarn add @chialab/rna-bundler -D

Usage

Compile JS and CSS modules and HTML apps using esbuild. It can output multiple module formats and it can be used to build a single module or to bundle all dependencies of an application.

Please note that HTML and CSS loaders are separated plugins that needs to be installed in order to work.

Via import

import { build } from '@chialab/rna';

await build({
    input: 'index.js',
    output: 'dist/esm/index.js',
    // code: '...',
    // rootDir: '.',
    platform: 'browser' // 'node',
    format: 'esm', // 'cjs' 'iife'
    // globalName: '', // global name for iife modules
    sourcemap: true,
    minify: true,
});

Samples

$ rna build src/index.js --output dist/esm/index.js --format esm
$ rna build src/index.js --output public/index.js --format iife --minify --bundle
$ rna build src/index.css --output public/index.css --minify --bundle

Known limitations and workarounds

Esbuild does not merge import statements from the same external source when bundling (see #3). Consumed esbuild bundles in webpack can be affected by a wrong optimization.

Workaround
Update webpack configuration with following rule:

module.exports = {
    optimization: {
        innerGraph: false,
    },
};
