Plugin to rewrite bare imports to URLs as defined in import maps

Rollup Eik plugin to support the use of import maps to map "bare" import specifiers in ES modules.

Installation

npm install @eik/rollup-plugin

Usage

import plugin from "@eik/rollup-plugin";

export default {
    input: "source/main.js",
    plugins: [plugin()],
    output: {
        file: "build.js",
        format: "esm",
    },
};

Description

This plugin transforms "bare" import specifiers to absolute URL specifiers in ES modules. The module refered to by the "bare" import specifier will be treated as external and its source will not be included in the bundle but refered to by URL.

The plugin will attempt to read import map URLs from eik.json if present.

export default {
    input: "source/main.js",
    plugins: [plugin()],
    output: {
        file: "build.js",
        format: "esm",
    },
};

The path to the location of an eik.json file can be specified with the path option.

export default {
    input: "source/main.js",
    plugins: [plugin({ path: "/path/to/eik-json-folder" })],
    output: {
        file: "build.js",
        format: "esm",
    },
};

The plugin can also be told which URLs to load import maps from directly using the urls option.

export default {
    input: "source/main.js",
    plugins: [plugin({ urls: `http://myserver/import-map` })],
    output: {
        file: "build.js",
        format: "esm",
    },
};

Additionally, individual mappings can be specified using the maps option.

export default {
    input: "source/main.js",
    plugins: [
        plugin({
            maps: [
                {
                    imports: {
                        "lit-element": "https://cdn.eik.dev/lit-element/v2",
                    },
                },
            ],
        }),
    ],
    output: {
        file: "build.js",
        format: "esm",
    },
};

If several of these options are used, maps takes precedence over urls which takes precedence over values loaded from an eik.json file.

ie. in the following example

export default {
    input: "source/main.js",
    plugins: [
        plugin({
            path: "/path/to/eik-json-folder",
            urls: ["http://myserver/import-map"],
            maps: [
                {
                    imports: {
                        "lit-element": "https://cdn.eik.dev/lit-element/v2",
                    },
                },
            ],
        }),
    ],
    output: {
        file: "build.js",
        format: "esm",
    },
};

Any import map URLs in eik.json will be loaded first, then merged with (and overridden if necessary by) the result of fetching from http://myserver/import-map before finally being merged with (and overriden if necessary by) specific mappings defined in maps. (In this case lit-element)

Plugin result

Bundles will have bare imports mapped to absolute URLs.

Ie. Something like this...

import { LitElement, html, css } from "lit-element";

Will be mapped to something like this...

import { LitElement, html, css } from "https://cdn.eik.dev/lit-element/v2";

Options

This plugin takes an import map as options:

Note on the rollup external option

Any mappings defined by any of the means described above must not occur in the Rollup external option. If so, this module will throw.

In other words, this will not work:

export default {
    input: "source/main.js",
    external: ["lit-element"],
    plugins: [
        plugin({
            maps: [
                {
                    imports: {
                        "lit-element": "https://cdn.eik.dev/lit-element/v2",
                    },
                },
            ],
        }),
    ],
    output: {
        file: "build.js",
        format: "esm",
    },
};
