unplugin

Unified plugin system for build tools.

Currently supports:

• Vite
• Rollup
• Webpack
• esbuild

Hooks

unplugin extends the excellent Rollup plugin API as the unified plugin interface and provides a compatible layer base on the build tools used with.

Supported

Hook	Rollup	Vite	Webpack 4	Webpack 5	esbuild
enforce	❌ 1	✅	✅	✅	❌ 1
buildStart	✅	✅	✅	✅	✅
resolveId	✅	✅	✅	✅	✅
loadInclude2	✅	✅	✅	✅	✅
load	✅	✅	✅	✅	✅ 3
transformInclude2	✅	✅	✅	✅	✅
transform	✅	✅	✅	✅	✅ 3
watchChange	✅	✅	✅	✅	✅
buildEnd	✅	✅	✅	✅	✅

1. Rollup and esbuild do not support using enforce to control the order of plugins. Users need to maintain the order manually.
2. Webpack's id filter is outside of loader logic; an additional hook is needed for better perf on Webpack. In Rollup and Vite, this hook has been polyfilled to match the behaviors. See for following usage examples.
3. Although esbuild can handle both JavaScript and CSS and many other file formats, you can only return JavaScript in load and transform results.

Hook Context

Supported

Hook	Rollup	Vite	Webpack 4	Webpack 5	esbuild
this.parse	✅	✅	✅	✅	✅
this.addWatchFile	✅	✅	✅	✅	✅
this.emitFile4	✅	✅	✅	✅	✅
this.getWatchFiles	✅	✅	✅	✅	✅
this.warn	✅	✅	✅	✅	✅
this.error	✅	✅	✅	✅	✅

1. Currently, this.emitFile only supports the EmittedAsset variant.

Usage

import { createUnplugin } from 'unplugin'

export const unplugin = createUnplugin((options: UserOptions) => {
  return {
    name: 'unplugin-prefixed-name',
    // webpack's id filter is outside of loader logic,
    // an additional hook is needed for better perf on webpack
    transformInclude (id) {
      return id.endsWith('.vue')
    },
    // just like rollup transform
    transform (code) {
      return code.replace(/<template>/, `<template><div>Injected</div>`)
    },
    // more hooks coming
  }
})

export const vitePlugin = unplugin.vite
export const rollupPlugin = unplugin.rollup
export const webpackPlugin = unplugin.webpack
export const esbuildPlugin = unplugin.esbuild

Plugin Installation

Vite

// vite.config.ts
import UnpluginFeature from './unplugin-feature'

export default {
  plugins: [
    UnpluginFeature.vite({ /* options */ })
  ]
}

Rollup

// rollup.config.js
import UnpluginFeature from './unplugin-feature'

export default {
  plugins: [
    UnpluginFeature.rollup({ /* options */ })
  ]
}

Webpack

// webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    require('./unplugin-feature').webpack({ /* options */ })
  ]
}

esbuild

// esbuild.config.js
import { build } from 'esbuild'

build({
  plugins: [
    require('./unplugin-feature').esbuild({ /* options */ })
  ]
})

Framework-specific Logic

While unplugin provides compatible layers for some hooks, the functionality of it is limited to the common subset of the build's plugins capability. For more advanced framework-specific usages, unplugin provides an escape hatch for that.

export const unplugin = createUnplugin((options: UserOptions, meta) => {

  console.log(meta.framework) // 'vite' | 'rollup' | 'webpack' | 'esbuild'

  return {
    // common unplugin hooks
    name: 'unplugin-prefixed-name',
    transformInclude (id) { /* ... */ },
    transform (code) { /* ... */  },

    // framework specific hooks
    vite: {
      // Vite config
      configureServer(server) {
        // configure Vite server
      }
    },
    rollup: {
      // Rollup config
    },
    webpack(compiler) {
      // configure Webpack compiler
    },
    esbuild: {
      // change the filter of onResolve and onLoad
      onResolveFilter?: RegExp
      onLoadFilter?: RegExp
      // or you can completely replace the setup logic
      setup?: EsbuildPlugin['setup']
    }
  }
})

Conventions

• Plugins powered by unplugin should have a clear name with unplugin- prefix.
• Include unplugin keyword in package.json.

• To provide better DX, packages could export 2 kinds of entry points:

  • Default export: the returned value of createUnplugin function

    import UnpluginFeature from 'unplugin-feature'
    

  • Subpath exports: properties of the returned value of createUnplugin function for each framework users

    import VitePlugin from 'unplugin-feature/vite'
    

  • Refer to unplugin-starter for more details about this setup.
