ParcelJS plugin to force load order for glob assets.

Parcel uses "fastglob" to handle glob assets. fastglob results are returned in arbitrary order.

This plugin forces alphabetical sort order of resolved glob assets using a custom deep sort function in a breadth-first manner, so that all files in a directory are parsed (in alphabetical order) first, then the sub-directories (again in alaphabetical order).

:warning: This works with parcel-bundler 1.x (npm i parcel-bundler and not npm i parcel).

Why

For use in legacy applications that rely on a folder-structure load order.

Install

npm install --D parcel-plugin-glob-ordered

Parcel will automatically load all such plugins in your package.json.

Running

PARCEL_WORKERS=1 parcel entry.html

It's important to keep worker farm to a single instance so that dependencies are kept in sync.

Caveats

The plugin monkey patches Parcel internals It might just break in an upcoming version.

Tested with parcel-bundler 1.12.4.
