The TypeScript 5.0 beta announcement adds const type parameters to the language. You can now add the const modifier on a type parameter of a function, method, or class like this:
The type of names in the above example is readonly ["Alice", "Bob", "Eve"]. Marking the type parameter as const behaves as if you had written as const at every use instead. The above code is equivalent to the following TypeScript, which was the only option before TypeScript 5.0:
Make parsing generic async arrow functions more strict in .tsx files
Previously esbuild's TypeScript parser incorrectly accepted the following code as valid:
let fn = async <T> () => {};
The official TypeScript parser rejects this code because it thinks it's the identifier async followed by a JSX element starting with <T>. So with this release, esbuild will now reject this syntax in .tsx files too. You'll now have to add a comma after the type parameter to get generic arrow functions like this to parse in .tsx files:
let fn = async <T,> () => {};
Allow the in and out type parameter modifiers on class expressions
TypeScript 4.7 added the in and out modifiers on the type parameters of classes, interfaces, and type aliases. However, while TypeScript supported them on both class expressions and class statements, previously esbuild only supported them on class statements due to an oversight. This release now allows these modifiers on class expressions too:
declare let Foo: any;
Foo = class <in T> { };
Foo = class <out T> { };
This changelog documents all esbuild versions published in the year 2021 (versions 0.8.29 through 0.14.10).

Enable tree shaking of classes with lowered static fields (#175)
If the configured target environment doesn't support static class fields, they are converted into a call to esbuild's __publicField function instead. However, esbuild's tree-shaking pass treated this call as a side effect, which meant that all classes with static fields were ineligible for tree shaking. This release fixes the problem by explicitly ignoring calls to the __publicField function during tree shaking side-effect determination. Tree shaking is now enabled for these classes:
// Original code
class Foo { static foo = 'foo' }
class Bar { static bar = 'bar' }
new Bar()
// Old output (with --tree-shaking=true --target=es6)
class Foo {
}
__publicField(Foo, "foo", "foo");
class Bar {
}
__publicField(Bar, "bar", "bar");
new Bar();
// New output (with --tree-shaking=true --target=es6)
class Bar {
}
__publicField(Bar, "bar", "bar");
new Bar();
Treat --define:foo=undefined as an undefined literal instead of an identifier (#1407)
References to the global variable undefined are automatically replaced with the literal value for undefined, which appears as void 0 when printed. This allows for additional optimizations such as collapsing undefined ?? bar into just bar. However, this substitution was not done for values specified via --define:. As a result, esbuild could potentially miss out on certain optimizations in these cases. With this release, it's now possible to use --define: to substitute something with an undefined literal:
// Original code
let win = typeof window !== 'undefined' ? window : {}
// Old output (with --define:window=undefined --minify)
let win=typeof undefined!="undefined"?undefined:{};
// New output (with --define:window=undefined --minify)
let win={};
Passing this flag causes all debugger; statements to be removed from the output. This is similar to the drop_debugger: true flag available in the popular UglifyJS and Terser JavaScript minifiers.
