esbuild-c

Empowers esbuild with config processing

Motivation

• Align supported CLI options with the JS API. For example, to bring specifying plugins via the CLI.
• Let configs be mergeable via extends.
• Load configs in any suitable formats.

Status

PoC

Install

npm i -D esbuild-c esbuild

Usage

CLI

esbuild-c [standard esbuild options]
esbuild-c --config esbuild.config.js

If --config ref is not specified, esbuild-c will look for it via cosmiconfig.

JS/TS

You can rebuild the CLI with your own logic:

#!/usr/bin/env node

import esbuild from 'esbuild'
import { loadConfig, parseArgv } from 'esbuild-c'

const flags = parseArgv(process.argv.slice(2))
const config = await loadConfig()

// do smth with the config

await esbuild.build(config)
