Rollup Plugin OSS

Rollup is a module bundler for JavaScript. It knows best which sourcecode it bundles.
This plugin hooks into the bundling step of rollup to

• traces back the corresponding package.json of each bundled source file for (version, license and other) information
• collects information of all used packages and adds them in a json (default disclosure.json) to the rollup bundle
  • parses the package.json license field according to the spdx license expression definition
  • aborts if ambiguous ("or" connected) license definition is found
  • records either a given license file or ammends the text based on the related spdx license texts
• zips all used source files, package.json and found license files, grouped by package, in a zip (default src.zip)

This also works with vite. The behavior is similiar to license-checker-webpack-plugin.

Please note that circular dependencies can occur in general, when bundling. For further discussion, see https://github.com/nodejs/readable-stream/issues/348

Usage

Install this package as development dependency

npm install -D rollup-plugin-oss

Add a rollup/vite config (e.g. rollup.config.js) to your project. Add filter to hide dependencies, add extra manually or adjust the output of the zip or json files.

import LicensePlugin from 'rollup-plugin-oss';
export default {
  input: 'src/main.js',
  output: {
    file: 'bundle.js',
    format: 'cjs'
  },
  plugins: [
    LicensePlugin({
      filter: /@mycompany\/.*/,
      extra: [{
        license: 'CC0-1.0',
        name: 'license-list-xml',
        repository: 'https://github.com/spdx/license-list-XML',
        version: '2.6.0',
        author: 'Linux Foundation and its Contributors',
        description: 'The SPDX License List is a list of commonly found licenses and exceptions used for open source and other collaborative software.  The XML format is an internal representation of the licenses.  See the license-list-data for supported formats for the license list.'
      }],
      zipFilename: 'src.zip',
      jsonFilename: 'disclosure.json'
    })
  ]
};

Test

Tests are run by jest against the outcome of the build process, i.e. index.js.

Example output

Get an example output for this library by running cloning the repository (with --recurse-submodules)

npm install
npm run build # prebuilds automatically
npm run bundle

or for pnpm

pnpm prebuild # trigger prebuild explicitly
pnpm build
pnpm bundle

In ./example folder, you'll get a disclosure.json file with:

{
  "libraries": [
    {
      "name": "tslib",
      "version": "2.4.0",
      "author": "Microsoft Corp.",
      "license": "0BSD",
      "licenseText": "Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation.\r\n\r\nPermission to use, copy, modify, and/or distribute this software for any\r\npurpose with or without fee is hereby granted.\r\n\r\nTHE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED \"AS IS\" AND THE AUTHOR DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES WITH\r\nREGARD TO THIS SOFTWARE INCLUDING ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY\r\nAND FITNESS.

      "repository": "https://github.com/Microsoft/tslib",
      "description": "Runtime library for TypeScript helper functions"
    },
    ...
  ]
}

Accordingly, you'll find in src.zip:

user@host example % unzip src.zip
