rollup-plugin-sbom

Create SBOMs (Software Bill of Materials) in CycloneDX format for your Vite and Rollup projects, including only the software you're really shipping to production.

A “software bill of materials” (SBOM) has emerged as a key building block in software security and software supply chain risk management. A SBOM is a nested inventory, a list of ingredients that make up software components.

Requirements and Compatibility

| Plugin | Vite | Rollup | Node | CDX Spec | | ------ | ---------- | ------ | ---------- | -------- | | v1 | v4, v5 | v3, v4 | 18, 20 | 1.5 | | v2 | v4, v5, v6 | v3, v4 | 18, 20, 22 | 1.6 | | v3 | v5, v6, v7 | v4 | 20, 22, 24 | 1.6 |

We're always supporting LTS Node.js versions and versions which still have security support. Plugin support will be dropped once a Node.js version reaches its final EOL.

Installation

You can install the plugin via NPM with your favorite package manager:

npm install --save-dev rollup-plugin-sbom
pnpm install -D rollup-plugin-sbom
yarn add --dev rollup-plugin-sbom

Usage

Usage with Vite

import { defineConfig } from "vite";
import sbom from "rollup-plugin-sbom";

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [sbom()],
});

// or

export default defineConfig({
  build: {
    rollupOptions: {
      plugins: [rollupPluginSbom],
    },
  },
});

Usage with Rollup

import sbom from "rollup-plugin-sbom";

export default {
  plugins: [sbom()],
};

Configuration Options

| Name | Default | Description | | ------------------- | ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | specVersion | 1.6 | The CycloneDX specification version to use | | rootComponentType | application | The root component type, can be library or application | | outDir | cyclonedx | The output directory where the BOM file will be saved. | | outFilename | bom | The base filename for the SBOM files. | | outFormats | ['json'] | The formats to output. Can be any of json and xml (note: xml requires xmlbuilder2). | | saveTimestamp | true | Whether to save the timestamp in the BOM metadata. | | autodetect | true | Whether to get the root package registered automatically. | | generateSerial | false | Whether to generate a serial number for the BOM. | | includeWellKnown | true | Whether to generate a SBOM in the well-known directory. | | supplier | - | Provide organizational entity information | | beforeCollect | - | Enhance the BOM before before collecting dependencies | | afterCollect | - | Transform the BOM before after collecting dependencies |

Optional Peer Dependencies

Some features require optional peer dependencies — see package.json for version details.

• Serialization to XML on Node.js requires any of:
  • xmlbuilder2

Debugging

This plugin added debug logs to gather information about how your SBOM is built so you can understand why which dependency was added to the graph. To enable debugging, you can set the logLevel option to "debug".

// rollup
export default {
  logLevel: "debug",
};

// vite
export default defineConfig({
  build: {
    rollupOptions: {
      logLevel: "debug",
    },
  },
});

General advice on when and how to read the debug information:

• Find out which tools are registered (Registering tool <name>)
• Find out which generated bundles are analyzed (Processing generated module <filename>)
• Check analyzed third party modules and their tree (Processing <vendor-module> (imported by <filename> - depends on <transitive-deps>))
