rollup-plugin-visualizer

What is rollup-plugin-visualizer?

The rollup-plugin-visualizer is a plugin for Rollup that generates a visual representation of the module tree or bundle contents. It helps in analyzing the bundle's composition, such as the size of individual modules and their dependencies. This can be particularly useful for optimizing the bundle size by identifying large modules or unexpected dependencies.

What are rollup-plugin-visualizer's main functionalities?

Visualizing bundle composition

This feature allows users to visualize the composition of their bundle. The plugin generates an HTML file that displays the sizes of the modules in the bundle. The 'filename' option specifies the output file for the visualization, and the 'open' option can be set to true to automatically open the generated file in a web browser.

import visualizer from 'rollup-plugin-visualizer';

export default {
  plugins: [
    visualizer({
      filename: './bundle-stats.html',
      open: true
    })
  ]
};

Customizing the visualization

This feature allows for customization of the visualization output. Users can choose between different visualization templates such as 'treemap', 'sunburst', or 'network'. Additionally, the title of the visualization can be customized using the 'title' option.

import visualizer from 'rollup-plugin-visualizer';

export default {
  plugins: [
    visualizer({
      filename: './bundle-stats.html',
      template: 'treemap', // or 'sunburst', 'network'
      title: 'My Bundle Visualization'
    })
  ]
};

Other packages similar to rollup-plugin-visualizer

webpack-bundle-analyzer

Similar to rollup-plugin-visualizer, webpack-bundle-analyzer is a plugin for Webpack that provides a detailed visualization of the contents of bundles. It supports interactive zoomable treemaps for analyzing the size of webpack output files. While rollup-plugin-visualizer is tailored for Rollup, webpack-bundle-analyzer serves a similar purpose for Webpack bundles.

source-map-explorer

Source-map-explorer analyzes JavaScript bundles using the source maps. It helps in understanding where code bloat is coming from by generating a treemap visualization of the space that each source file occupies. Unlike rollup-plugin-visualizer which is a Rollup plugin, source-map-explorer can be used independently of the bundler used.

Usage

import visualizer from 'rollup-plugin-visualizer';

//...
plugins: [
  visualizer()
],
//...

Options

filename (string, default stats.html) - name of the file with diagram to generate

title (string, default Rollup Visualizer) - title tag value

sourcemap (boolean, default false) - Use sourcemaps to calculate sizes (e.g. after UglifyJs or Terser)

open (boolean, default false) - Open generated file in default user agent

template (string, default treemap) - Which digram type to use: sunburst, treemap, network (very early stage, feedback welcomed)

chartParameters.width (number, default undefined) - Set svg viewBox width to this number

chartParameters.height (number, default undefined) - Set svg viewBox height to this number

json (boolean, default false) - Product portable json file that can be used with plugin CLI util to generate graph from several json files. Every UI property ignored in this case.

gzipSize (boolean, default false) - Collect gzip size from source code and display it at chart

brotliSize (boolean, default false) - Collect brolti size from source code and display it at chart. Only if current node version supports it

CLI

This plugin provides cli util rollup-plugin-visualizer. Add --help to check actual options. It can be used like:

rollup-plugin-visualizer [OPTIONS] stat1.json stat2.json ../stat3.json

This can be usefull in case you have different config files in the same project and you want to display all of them in the same chart.

Build plugin

For development if you need to build plugin, just exec:

yarn run build

Disclaimer about generated files

Generated html files do not and never will contain your source code (contents of files). They can contain only js/html/css code required to build chart (plugin code) and statistical information about your source code.

This statistical information can contain:

• size of files included in bundle
• size of files included in source map
• file's path
• files hierarchy (fs tree for your files)

Upgrades

See CHANGELOG.md.

Acknowledgements

Initially this plugin was based on webpack-visualizer, but in the end used only styles and layout. Thanks to the tons of people around internet for great examples of d3 usage. Also i would like to thank you Mike Bostock for awesome D3, and tons of examples.
