What is @rollup/pluginutils?
The @rollup/pluginutils package provides a suite of utility functions commonly used by Rollup plugins. These utilities help with tasks such as filtering files to be included in the bundle, creating minimatch instances, and handling module IDs.
What are @rollup/pluginutils's main functionalities?
createFilter
createFilter allows you to create a filter function that can be used to determine whether a file should be included or excluded based on the provided include and exclude patterns.
import { createFilter } from '@rollup/pluginutils';
const filter = createFilter(include, exclude);
if (filter(somePath)) {
// Handle the file
}
dataToEsm
dataToEsm converts a JSON object to an ES module string, which can be useful for injecting configuration or other data into your bundle.
import { dataToEsm } from '@rollup/pluginutils';
const data = { foo: 'bar' };
const esModule = dataToEsm(data);
// esModule is now a string of ESM code representing the data
addExtension
addExtension ensures that a file path has the specified extension. If it already has the extension, it returns the path unchanged.
import { addExtension } from '@rollup/pluginutils';
const filename = addExtension('myfile', '.js');
// filename is now 'myfile.js'
Other packages similar to @rollup/pluginutils
micromatch
Micromatch is a glob matching library that can be used to create filter functions similar to the createFilter utility in @rollup/pluginutils. It offers more extensive globbing capabilities but does not provide the other utilities found in @rollup/pluginutils.
magic-string
Magic-string is a library for generating source maps and manipulating strings, which can be useful for plugin authors who need to modify code and track changes. While it doesn't offer the same utilities as @rollup/pluginutils, it is often used in conjunction with it for source map generation.

@rollup/pluginutils
A set of utility functions commonly used by 🍣 Rollup plugins.
Requirements
This plugin requires an LTS Node version (v8.0.0+) and Rollup v1.20.0+.
Install
Using npm:
npm install @rollup/pluginutils --save-dev
Usage
import utils from '@rollup/pluginutils';
API
Available utility functions are listed below:
Note: Parameter names immediately followed by a ?
indicate that the parameter is optional.
addExtension
Adds an extension to a module ID if one does not exist.
Parameters: (filename: String, ext?: String)
Returns: String
import { addExtension } from '@rollup/pluginutils';
export default function myPlugin(options = {}) {
return {
resolveId(code, id) {
id = addExtension(id);
id = addExtension(id, '.myext');
}
};
}
attachScopes
Attaches Scope
objects to the relevant nodes of an AST. Each Scope
object has a scope.contains(name)
method that returns true
if a given name is defined in the current scope or a parent scope.
Parameters: (ast: Node, propertyName?: String)
Returns: Object
See rollup-plugin-inject or rollup-plugin-commonjs for an example of usage.
import { attachScopes } from '@rollup/pluginutils';
import { walk } from 'estree-walker';
export default function myPlugin(options = {}) {
return {
transform(code) {
const ast = this.parse(code);
let scope = attachScopes(ast, 'scope');
walk(ast, {
enter(node) {
if (node.scope) scope = node.scope;
if (!scope.contains('foo')) {
}
},
leave(node) {
if (node.scope) scope = scope.parent;
}
});
}
};
}
createFilter
Constructs a filter function which can be used to determine whether or not certain modules should be operated upon.
Parameters: (include?: <minmatch>, exclude?: <minmatch>, options?: Object)
Returns: String
include
and exclude
Type: String | RegExp | Array[...String|RegExp]
A valid minimatch
pattern, or array of patterns. If options.include
is omitted or has zero length, filter will return true
by default. Otherwise, an ID must match one or more of the minimatch
patterns, and must not match any of the options.exclude
patterns.
options
resolve
Type: String | Boolean | null
Optionally resolves the patterns against a directory other than process.cwd()
. If a String
is specified, then the value will be used as the base directory. Relative paths will be resolved against process.cwd()
first. If false
, then the patterns will not be resolved against any directory. This can be useful if you want to create a filter for virtual module names.
Usage
import { createFilter } from '@rollup/pluginutils';
export default function myPlugin(options = {}) {
var filter = createFilter(options.include, options.exclude, {
resolve: '/my/base/dir'
});
return {
transform(code, id) {
if (!filter(id)) return;
}
};
}
dataToEsm
Transforms objects into tree-shakable ES Module imports.
Parameters: (data: Object)
Returns: String
data
Type: Object
An object to transform into an ES module.
Usage
import { dataToEsm } from '@rollup/pluginutils';
const esModuleSource = dataToEsm(
{
custom: 'data',
to: ['treeshake']
},
{
compact: false,
indent: '\t',
preferConst: false,
objectShorthand: false,
namedExports: true
}
);
Extracts the names of all assignment targets based upon specified patterns.
Parameters: (param: Node)
Returns: Array[...String]
param
Type: Node
An acorn
AST Node.
Usage
import { extractAssignedNames } from '@rollup/pluginutils';
import { walk } from 'estree-walker';
export default function myPlugin(options = {}) {
return {
transform(code) {
const ast = this.parse(code);
walk(ast, {
enter(node) {
if (node.type === 'VariableDeclarator') {
const declaredNames = extractAssignedNames(node.id);
}
}
});
}
};
}
makeLegalIdentifier
Constructs a bundle-safe identifier from a String
.
Parameters: (str: String)
Returns: String
Usage
import { makeLegalIdentifier } from '@rollup/pluginutils';
makeLegalIdentifier('foo-bar');
makeLegalIdentifier('typeof');
