Release notes

v0.15.9

• Fix an obscure npm package installation issue with --omit=optional (#2558)

  The previous release introduced a regression with npm install esbuild --omit=optional where the file node_modules/.bin/esbuild would no longer be present after installation. That could cause any package scripts which used the esbuild command to no longer work. This release fixes the regression so node_modules/.bin/esbuild should now be present again after installation. This regression only affected people installing esbuild using npm with either the --omit=optional or --no-optional flag, which is a somewhat unusual situation.

  More details:

  The reason for this regression is due to some obscure npm implementation details. Since the Go compiler doesn't support trivial cross-compiling on certain Android platforms, esbuild's installer installs a WebAssembly shim on those platforms instead. In the previous release I attempted to simplify esbuild's WebAssembly shims to depend on the esbuild-wasm package instead of including another whole copy of the WebAssembly binary (to make publishing faster and to save on file system space after installation). However, both the esbuild package and the esbuild-wasm package provide a binary called esbuild and it turns out that adding esbuild-wasm as a nested dependency of the esbuild package (specifically esbuild optionally depends on @esbuild/android-arm which depends on esbuild-wasm) caused npm to be confused about what node_modules/.bin/esbuild is supposed to be.

  It's pretty strange and unexpected that disabling the installation of optional dependencies altogether would suddenly cause an optional dependency's dependency to conflict with the top-level package. What happens under the hood is that if --omit=optional is present, npm attempts to uninstall the esbuild-wasm nested dependency at the end of npm install (even though the esbuild-wasm package was never installed due to --omit=optional). This uninstallation causes node_modules/.bin/esbuild to be deleted.

  After doing a full investigation, I discovered that npm's handling of the .bin directory is deliberately very brittle. When multiple packages in the dependency tree put something in .bin with the same name, the end result is non-deterministic/random. What you get in .bin might be from one package, from the other package, or might be missing entirely. The workaround suggested by npm is to just avoid having two packages that put something in .bin with the same name. So this was fixed by making the @esbuild/android-arm and esbuild-android-64 packages each include another whole copy of the WebAssembly binary, which works because these packages don't put anything in .bin.

v0.15.8

• Fix JSX name collision edge case (#2534)

  Code generated by esbuild could have a name collision in the following edge case:

  • The JSX transformation mode is set to automatic, which causes import statements to be inserted
  • An element uses a {...spread} followed by a key={...}, which uses the legacy createElement fallback imported from react
  • Another import uses a name that ends with react such as @remix-run/react
  • The output format has been set to CommonJS so that import statements are converted into require calls

  In this case, esbuild previously generated two variables with the same name import_react, like this:

  var import_react = require("react");
  var import_react2 = require("@remix-run/react");
  

  That bug is fixed in this release. The code generated by esbuild no longer contains a name collision.

• Fall back to WebAssembly on Android ARM (#1556, #1578, #2335, #2526)

  Go's compiler supports trivial cross-compiling to almost all platforms without installing any additional software other than the Go compiler itself. This has made it very easy for esbuild to publish native binary executables for many platforms. However, it strangely doesn't support cross-compiling to Android ARM without installing the Android build tools.

  So instead of publishing a native esbuild binary executable to npm, this release publishes a WebAssembly fallback build. This is essentially the same as the esbuild-wasm package but it's installed automatically when you install the esbuild package on Android ARM. So packages that depend on the esbuild package should now work on Android ARM. This change has not yet been tested end-to-end because I don't have a 32-bit Android ARM device myself, but in theory it should work.

  This inherits the drawbacks of WebAssembly including significantly slower performance than native as well as potentially also more severe memory usage limitations and lack of certain features (e.g. --serve). If you want to use a native binary executable of esbuild on Android ARM, you may be able to build it yourself from source after installing the Android build tools.

• Attempt to better support Yarn's ignorePatternData feature (#2495)

  Part of resolving paths in a project using Yarn's Plug'n'Play feature involves evaluating a regular expression in the ignorePatternData property of .pnp.data.json. However, it turns out that the particular regular expressions generated by Yarn use some syntax that works with JavaScript regular expressions but that does not work with Go regular expressions.

  In this release, esbuild will now strip some of the the problematic syntax from the regular expression before compiling it, which should hopefully allow it to be compiled by Go's regular expression engine. The specific character sequences that esbuild currently strips are as follows:

  • (?!\.)
  • (?!(?:^|\/)\.)
  • (?!\.{1,2}(?:\/|$))
  • (?!(?:^|\/)\.{1,2}(?:\/|$))
