esbuild-plugin-pino
An esbuild plugin to generate extra pino files for bundling
Installation
npm install esbuild-plugin-pino
Description
This plugin allows to use of pino v7 ~ v9 with esbuild generated bundle files.
Note that, due to pino architecture (based on Node.js' Worker Threads), it is not possible to make it work without generating extra files.
This means that when using this plugin the following list of files will be generated at the root of your dist folder:
thread-stream.js
pino-worker.js
pino-pipeline-worker.js
(no longer required after Pino v9.1.0)pino-file.js
A file for each transport you specify in the plugin constructor's transports
option. (see below)
Each of the additional file is a bundle and therefore does not contain any external dependency, but it is needed to use pino and it must be included in the deployment.
Usage
Simply include the plugin in your esbuild build script. Make sure you provide the plugin a list of all the pino transports you use via the transports
option (pino/file
is always included so no need to specify it).
const { build } = require("esbuild");
const esbuildPluginPino = require("esbuild-plugin-pino");
build({
entryPoints: ["src/index.ts"],
outdir: "dist",
plugins: [esbuildPluginPino({ transports: ["pino-pretty"] })],
}).catch(() => process.exit(1));
const { build } = require("esbuild");
const esbuildPluginPino = require("esbuild-plugin-pino");
build({
entryPoints: {
first: "./first.js",
"abc/cde/second": "./second.js",
},
outdir: "dist",
plugins: [esbuildPluginPino({ transports: ["pino-pretty", "pino-loki"] })],
}).catch(() => process.exit(1));
const { build } = require("esbuild");
const esbuildPluginPino = require("esbuild-plugin-pino");
build({
entryPoints: [
{
in: "./test/fixtures/first.js",
out: "first",
},
{
in: "./test/fixtures/second.js",
out: "abc/cde/second",
},
],
outdir: "dist",
plugins: [esbuildPluginPino({ transports: ["pino-pretty", "pino-loki"] })],
}).catch(() => process.exit(1));
Deploy to production
If you use docker
or severless function like AWS Lambda, make sure to use the same outdir
in your production.
Ex: If your outdir
is set to dist
in esbuild
, you need to copy the whole dist
but not extracting files into the docker image root folder.
