esbuild-solid

Plugin to compile solid jsx components with esbuild.

Install

solid-js and esbuild are peer dependencies

# For npm
npm install solid-js
npm install -D esbuild esbuild-solid

# For pnpm
pnpm add solid-js
pnpm add -D esbuild esbuild-solid

# For yarn
yarn add solid-js
yarn add -D esbuild esbuild-solid

Usage

Once installed you need to configure esbuild to use this plugin.

const { build } = require('esbuild');
const { solidPlugin } = require('esbuild-solid');

build({
  entryPoints: ['app.jsx'],
  bundle: true,
  outfile: 'out.js',
  plugins: [solidPlugin()],
}).catch(() => process.exit(1))

Configuration

There's no configuration as of now.

How it works

This is a 30 lines of code plugin. All it does is parse every import source code, check if JSX syntax is present using a dumb regex and transforming the file with @babel/core, @babel/preset-typescript and babel-preset-solid.

Out of the box it checks every /(t|j)sx?/ files and only transforms the one with JSX syntax in it.

Contributing

This package uses pnpm so you might want to install it if you don't have it.

Once done, you can just pnpm build & pnpm test to build & test your changes.

pnpm test will build a dumb module with the plugin and open a local web server serving the tests folder for you to check if things still work.
