@craftamap/esbuild-plugin-html is a plugin to generate HTML files with
esbuild. All specified entry points, and their
related files (such as .css-files) are automatically injected into the HTML
file. @craftamap/esbuild-plugin-html is inspired by
jantimon/html-webpack-plugin.
Is any feature missing? Please create a ticket.
This plugin requires at least esbuild v0.12.26. Development was done on
node.js 16, node.js 14 should also work though.
There is currently no deno version of this plugin - however, if there is need for it, I will add one - just open a issue.
yarn add -D @craftamap/esbuild-plugin-html
# or
npm install --save-dev @craftamap/esbuild-plugin-htmlThis plugin works by analyzing the
metafile esbuild provides. This
metafile contains information about all entryPoints and their output files.
This way, this plugin can map input files to their output file (javascript as
well as css).
craftamap/esbuild-plugin-html uses the jsdom
under the hood to create a model of your HTML from the provided template. In
this model, all discovered resources are injected. The plugin also uses lodash
templates to insert custom user
data into the template.
@craftamap/esbuild-plugin-html requires to have some options set in your
esbuild script:
outdirmust be set. The html files are generated within theoutdir.metafilemust be set totrue.
entryNames feature. While this plugin tries to support this as best as it
can, it may or may not work reliable. If you encounter any issues with it,
please create a ticket.

There exist some other *.html-plugins for esbuild. Those work differently
than @craftamap/esbuild-plugin-html, and might be a better fit for you:
- @esbuilder/html -
loader-based approach (use
*.html-file as entry point, and start subprocesses withesbuild) - @chialab/esbuild-plugin-html
- loader-based approach
