esbuild-plugin-native-modules

esbuild-plugin-native-modules

Prevents bundling packages that use platform-specific binaries (.node .dll .dylib .so .so1 etc).

Internally, it copies specified packages traversing symlinks (which would play well with pnpm and workspaces) so the output looks like that:

app
├─── node_modules
│    ├─── sharp
│    │    └─── ...
│    └─── fsevents
│         └─── ...
└─── index.js

Usage:

const natives = require('esbuild-plugin-native-modules');
const esbuild = require('esbuild');
const path = require('path');

(async function () {
  console.time('Done');

  await esbuild.build({
    bundle: true,
    entryPoints: [path.resolve(__dirname, '../index.js')],
    allowOverwrite: true,
    outfile: path.resolve(__dirname, `../build/index.js`),
    target: 'es2019',
    platform: 'node',
    plugins: [natives(['sharp', 'fsevents'])],
  });

  console.timeEnd('Done');
})();
