Bundling Configuration

🚧

This feature is still under construction.

SWC is able to bundle multiple JavaScript or TypeScript files into one.

This feature is currently named spack, but will be renamed to swcpack in v2. spack.config.js will be deprecated for swcpack.config.js.

View a basic example of bundling.

Configuration

You can configure bundling using spack.config.js with similar options to webpack. In the future, we are exploring a webpack compatible plugin system.

// spack.config.js

module.exports = {
  entry: {
    web: __dirname + "/src/index.ts",
  },
  output: {
    path: __dirname + "/lib",
  },
};

Note: CommonJS is currently required. In the future, ES Modules will be supported.

If you want auto-completion or type checking for configuration, you can wrap the export with a config function from @swc/core/spack. It's an identity function with type annotation.

const { config } = require("@swc/core/spack");

module.exports = config({
  entry: {
    web: __dirname + "/src/index.ts",
  },
  output: {
    path: __dirname + "/lib",
  },
});

mode

Possible values: production, debug, none.

Currently this value is not used, but it will behave similarly to webpack.

entry

Determines the entry of bundling. You may specify a file or a map of bundle name to file path.

Note: Currently this should be absolute path. You can use __dirname to create one.

In the future, SWC will support using relative paths and will resolve files relative to spack.config.js.

output

You can change destination directory of the bundler using output.

const { config } = require("@swc/core/spack");

module.exports = config({
  output: {
    path: __dirname + "/lib",
    // Name is optional.
    name: "index.js",
  },
});

options

Used to control the behavior of SWC. This field is optional.
