rollup-plugin-license

Forked from https://github.com/mjeanroy/rollup-plugin-license

Adds exclude property to the third party options.

Rollup plugin that can be used to:

• Prepend a banner from a file.
• Create a file containing all third-parties used in the bundle (and display the license of each dependency).

How to use

Install the plugin with NPM:

npm install --save-dev rollup-plugin-license

Then add it to your rollup configuration:

const path = require('path');
const license = require('rollup-plugin-license');

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    license({
      sourcemap: true,
      cwd: process.cwd(), // The default

      banner: {
        commentStyle: 'regular', // The default

        content: {
          file: path.join(__dirname, 'LICENSE'),
          encoding: 'utf-8', // Default is utf-8
        },

        // Optional, may be an object or a function returning an object.
        data() {
          return {
            foo: 'foo',
          };
        },
      },

      thirdParty: {
        includePrivate: true, // Default is false.
        // Optional.  Accepts strings and RegExp.
        exclude: ["packageName", /rollup-plugin.*/],
        output: {
          file: path.join(__dirname, 'dist', 'dependencies.txt'),
          encoding: 'utf-8', // Default is utf-8.
        },
      },
    }),
  ],
}

Banner

Banner file

The banner file can be a text file and it will be converted to a block comment automatically if needed.

Note that the content will be translated to a lodash template with the following data model:

• pkg: The content of the project package.json.
• dependencies: An array of all the dependencies included in the bundle.
• moment: The moment object.
• _: The lodash object.
• data A custom data object, defined in banner options.

Here is a valid banner:

Bundle of <%= pkg.name %>
Generated: <%= moment().format('YYYY-MM-DD') %>
Version: <%= pkg.version %>
Dependencies:
<% _.forEach(dependencies, function (dependency) { %>
  <%= dependency.name %> -- <%= dependency.version %>
<% }) %>

Comment style

Since version 0.10.0, it is possible to customize banner style using the commentStyle option:

license({
  banner: {
    commentStyle: 'regular', // The default
    content: {
      file: path.join(__dirname, 'LICENSE'),
    },
  },
})

Following options are available:

• regular: "classic" comment block is used (this is the default), for example:

/**
 * This is the `regular` style.
 */

• ignored: a comment block with prefix ignored by minifiers, for example:

/*!
 * This is the `ignored` style.
 */

• slash: banner is prepended using "slash" comments, for example:

//
// This is the `slash` style.
//

• none: nothing done, be careful to prepenbd a banner already "commented".

Banner as a "simple" string

Since version 0.3.0, banner can be a simple string that will be used directly:

const license = require('rollup-plugin-license');

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    license({
      banner: `Copyright <%= moment().format('YYYY') %>`,
    }),
  ],
}

If you want to add some options to banner (such as the comment style to use), and still define it as a string (insead of pointing to a file), you can also define the banner like this (since version 0.11.0):

const license = require('rollup-plugin-license');

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    license({
      banner: {
        content: `Copyright <%= moment().format('YYYY') %>`,
        commentStyle: 'ignored',
      },
    }),
  ],
}

Deprecated format

Until version 0.10.0, banner file was defined as:

const path = require('path');
const license = require('rollup-plugin-license');

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    license({
      banner: {
        file: path.join(__dirname, 'LICENSE'),
        encoding: 'utf-8',
      },
    }),
  ],
};

This format has been deprecated with version 0.11.0 and removed with version 1.0.O, and the banner file should be defined inside banner.content entry:

const path = require('path');
const license = require('rollup-plugin-license');

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    license({
      banner: {
        content: {
          file: path.join(__dirname, 'LICENSE'),
          encoding: 'utf-8',
        },
      },
    }),
  ],
};

Dependencies output

A file containing a summary of all dependencies can be generated automatically using the following options:

license({
  thirdParty: {
    output: path.join(__dirname, 'dist', 'dependencies.txt'),
    includePrivate: true, // Default is false.
  },
})

Starting with version 0.12.0, you can have more control by defining output as an object, for example:

license({
  thirdParty: {
    includePrivate: false,
    output: {
      file: path.join(__dirname, 'dist', 'dependencies.txt'), // Path of the license report
      encoding: 'utf-8', // default is UTF-8

      // Template function that can be defined to customize report output
      template(dependencies) {
        return dependencies.map((dependency) => `${dependency.name}:${dependency.version} -- ${dependency.license}`).join('\n');
      },
    },
  },
})

Note that the template option can also be a lodash template:

license({
  thirdParty: {
    includePrivate: false,
    output: {
      file: path.join(__dirname, 'dist', 'dependencies.txt'),

      // Lodash template that can be defined to customize report output
      template: `
        <% _.forEach(dependencies, function (dependency) { %>
          <%= dependency.name %>:<%= dependency.version%> -- <%= dependency.license %>
        <% }) %>
      `,
    },
  },
})

For example, it can be relatively easy to produce a JSON output instead of a text file:

license({
  thirdParty: {
    includePrivate: false,
    output: {
      file: path.join(__dirname, 'dist', 'dependencies.json'),
      template(dependencies) {
        return JSON.stringify(dependencies);
      }
    },
  },
})

License Checks

Starting with version 0.13, it is possible to ensure that dependencies does not violate any license restriction. For example, suppose you want to limit dependencies with MIT or Apache-2.0 licenses, simply define the restriction such as:

license({
  thirdParty: {
    allow: '(MIT OR Apache-2.0)',
  },
})

Note that the allow value here should be a valid SPDX pattern (more information here).

The allow option here will print a warning to the console for all license violation. Note that, if you want more control, it can also be defined as function:

license({
  thirdParty: {
    allow(dependency) {
      return dependency.license === 'MIT';
    },
  },
})

The function defined here allow only MIT licenses, and will print a warning for anything else.

Finally, if emitting a warning is not enought for you, you can also choose to fail the build:

license({
  thirdParty: {
    allow: {
      test: 'MIT',             // Or a function that should returns `true` or `false`
      failOnUnlicensed: true,  // Fail if a dependency does not specify any licenses, default is `false`
      failOnViolation: true,   // Fail if a dependency specify a license that does not match given requirement, default is `false`
    },
  },
})
