Bundling no longer unnecessarily transforms class syntax (#1360, #1328, #1524, #2416)
When bundling, esbuild automatically converts top-level class statements to class expressions. Previously this conversion had the unfortunate side-effect of also transforming certain other class-related syntax features to avoid correctness issues when the references to the class name within the class body. This conversion has been reworked to avoid doing this:
This conversion process is very complicated and has many edge cases (including interactions with static fields, static blocks, private class properties, and TypeScript experimental decorators). It should already be pretty robust but a change like this may introduce new unintentional behavior. Please report any issues with this upgrade on the esbuild bug tracker.
You may be wondering why esbuild needs to do this at all. One reason to do this is that esbuild's bundler sometimes needs to lazily-evaluate a module. For example, a module may end up being both the target of a dynamic
import()
call and a staticimport
statement. Lazy module evaluation is done by wrapping the top-level module code in a closure. To avoid a performance hit for staticimport
statements, esbuild stores top-level exported symbols outside of the closure and references them directly instead of indirectly.Another reason to do this is that multiple JavaScript VMs have had and continue to have performance issues with TDZ (i.e. "temporal dead zone") checks. These checks validate that a let, or const, or class symbol isn't used before it's initialized. Here are two issues with well-known VMs:
JavaScriptCore had a severe performance issue as their TDZ implementation had time complexity that was quadratic in the number of variables needing TDZ checks in the same scope (with the top-level scope typically being the worst offender). V8 has ongoing issues with TDZ checks being present throughout the code their JIT generates even when they have already been checked earlier in the same function or when the function in question has already been run (so the checks have already happened).
Due to esbuild's parallel architecture, esbuild both a) needs to convert class statements into class expressions during parsing and b) doesn't yet know whether this module will need to be lazily-evaluated or not in the parser. So esbuild always does this conversion during bundling in case it's needed for correctness (and also to avoid potentially catastrophic performance issues due to bundling creating a large scope with many TDZ variables).
Enforce TDZ errors in computed class property keys (#2045)
JavaScript allows class property keys to be generated at run-time using code, like this:
Previously esbuild treated references to the containing class name within computed property keys as a reference to the partially-initialized class object. That meant code that attempted to reference properties of the class object (such as the code above) would get back
undefined
instead of throwing an error.This release rewrites references to the containing class name within computed property keys into code that always throws an error at run-time, which is how this JavaScript code is supposed to work. Code that does this will now also generate a warning. You should never write code like this, but it now should be more obvious when incorrect code like this is written.
Fix an issue with experimental decorators and static fields (#2629)
This release also fixes a bug regarding TypeScript experimental decorators and static class fields which reference the enclosing class name in their initializer. This affected top-level classes when bundling was enabled. Previously code that does this could crash because the class name wasn't initialized yet. This case should now be handled correctly:
Fix a minification regression with negative numeric properties (#3169)
Version 0.18.0 introduced a regression where computed properties with negative numbers were incorrectly shortened into a non-computed property when minification was enabled. This regression has been fixed:

Fix a panic due to empty static class blocks (#3161)
This release fixes a bug where an internal invariant that was introduced in the previous release was sometimes violated, which then caused a panic. It happened when bundling code containing an empty static class block with both minification and bundling enabled.

Lower static blocks when static fields are lowered (#2800, #2950, #3025)
This release fixes a bug where esbuild incorrectly did not lower static class blocks when static class fields needed to be lowered. For example, the following code should print
1 2 3
but previously printed2 1 3
instead due to this bug:Use static blocks to implement
--keep-names
on classes (#2389)This change fixes a bug where the
name
property could previously be incorrect within a class static context when using--keep-names
. The problem was that thename
property was being initialized after static blocks were run instead of before. This has been fixed by moving thename
property initializer into a static block at the top of the class body:This change was somewhat involved, especially regarding what esbuild considers to be side-effect free. Some unused classes that weren't removed by tree shaking in previous versions of esbuild may now be tree-shaken. One example is classes with static private fields that are transformed by esbuild into code that doesn't use JavaScript's private field syntax. Previously esbuild's tree shaking analysis ran on the class after syntax lowering, but with this release it will run on the class before syntax lowering, meaning it should no longer be confused by class mutations resulting from automatically-generated syntax lowering code.

Fill in
null
entries in input source maps (#3144)If esbuild bundles input files with source maps and those source maps contain a
sourcesContent
array withnull
entries, esbuild previously copied thosenull
entries over to the output source map. With this release, esbuild will now attempt to fill in thosenull
entries by looking for a file on the file system with the corresponding name from thesources
array. This matches esbuild's existing behavior that automatically generates thesourcesContent
array from the file system if the entiresourcesContent
array is missing.Support
/* @​__KEY__ */
comments for mangling property names (#2574)Property mangling is an advanced feature that enables esbuild to minify certain property names, even though it's not possible to automatically determine that it's safe to do so. The safe property names are configured via regular expression such as
--mangle-props=_$
(mangle all properties ending in_
).Sometimes it's desirable to also minify strings containing property names, even though it's not possible to automatically determine which strings are property names. This release makes it possible to do this by annotating those strings with
/* @​__KEY__ */
. This is a convention that Terser added earlier this year, and which esbuild is now following too: https://github.com/terser/terser/pull/1365. Using it looks like this:Support
/* @​__NO_SIDE_EFFECTS__ */
comments for functions (#3149)Rollup has recently added support for
/* @​__NO_SIDE_EFFECTS__ */
annotations before functions to indicate that calls to these functions can be removed if the result is unused (i.e. the calls can be assumed to have no side effects). This release adds basic support for these to esbuild as well, which means esbuild will now parse these comments in input files and preserve them in output files. This should help people that use esbuild in combination with Rollup.Note that this doesn't necessarily mean esbuild will treat these calls as having no side effects, as esbuild's parallel architecture currently isn't set up to enable this type of cross-file tree-shaking information (tree-shaking decisions regarding a function call are currently local to the file they appear in). If you want esbuild to consider a function call to have no side effects, make sure you continue to annotate the function call with
/* @​__PURE__ */
(which is the previously-established convention for communicating this).v0.18.0

This release deliberately contains backwards-incompatible changes. To avoid automatically picking up releases like this, you should either be pinning the exact version of
esbuild
in yourpackage.json
file (recommended) or be using a version range syntax that only accepts patch upgrades such as^0.17.0
or~0.17.0
. See npm's documentation about semver for more information.The breaking changes in this release mainly focus on fixing some long-standing issues with esbuild's handling of
tsconfig.json
files. Here are all the changes in this release, in detail:Add a way to try esbuild online (#797)
There is now a way to try esbuild live on esbuild's website without installing it: https://esbuild.github.io/try/. In addition to being able to more easily evaluate esbuild, this should also make it more efficient to generate esbuild bug reports. For example, you can use it to compare the behavior of different versions of esbuild on the same input. The state of the page is stored in the URL for easy sharing. Many thanks to @hyrious for creating https://hyrious.me/esbuild-repl/, which was the main inspiration for this addition to esbuild's website.
Two forms of build options are supported: either CLI-style (example) or JS-style (example). Both are converted into a JS object that's passed to esbuild's WebAssembly API. The CLI-style argument parser is a custom one that simulates shell quoting rules, and the JS-style argument parser is also custom and parses a superset of JSON (basically JSON5 + regular expressions). So argument parsing is an approximate simulation of what happens for real but hopefully it should be close enough.
Changes to esbuild's
tsconfig.json
support (#3019):This release makes the following changes to esbuild's
tsconfig.json
support:Using experimental decorators now requires
"experimentalDecorators": true
(#104)Previously esbuild would always compile decorators in TypeScript code using TypeScript's experimental decorator transform. Now that standard JavaScript decorators are close to being finalized, esbuild will now require you to use
"experimentalDecorators": true
to do this. This new requirement makes it possible for esbuild to introduce a transform for standard JavaScript decorators in TypeScript code in the future. Such a transform has not been implemented yet, however.TypeScript's
target
no longer affects esbuild'starget
(#2628)Some people requested that esbuild support TypeScript's
target
setting, so support for it was added (in version 0.12.4). However, esbuild supports reading from multipletsconfig.json
files within a single build, which opens up the possibility that different files in the build have different language targets configured. There isn't really any reason to do this and it can lead to unexpected results. So with this release, thetarget
setting intsconfig.json
will no longer affect esbuild's owntarget
setting. You will have to use esbuild's own target setting instead (which is a single, global value).TypeScript's
jsx
setting no longer causes esbuild to preserve JSX syntax (#2634)TypeScript has a setting called
jsx
that controls how to transform JSX into JS. The tool-agnostic transform is calledreact
, and the React-specific transform is calledreact-jsx
(orreact-jsxdev
). There is also a setting calledpreserve
which indicates JSX should be passed through untransformed. Previously people would run esbuild with"jsx": "preserve"
in theirtsconfig.json
files and then be surprised when esbuild preserved their JSX. So with this release, esbuild will now ignore"jsx": "preserve"
intsconfig.json
files. If you want to preserve JSX syntax with esbuild, you now have to use--jsx=preserve
.Note: Some people have suggested that esbuild's equivalent
jsx
setting override the one intsconfig.json
. However, some projects need to legitimately have different files within the same build use different transforms (i.e.react
vs.react-jsx
) and having esbuild's globaljsx
setting overridetsconfig.json
would prevent this from working. This release ignores"jsx": "preserve"
but still allows otherjsx
values intsconfig.json
files to override esbuild's globaljsx
setting to keep the ability for multiple files within the same build to use different transforms.useDefineForClassFields
behavior has changed (#2584, #2993)Class fields in TypeScript look like this (
x
is a class field):TypeScript has legacy behavior that uses assignment semantics instead of define semantics for class fields when
useDefineForClassFields
is enabled (in which case class fields in TypeScript behave differently than they do in JavaScript, which is arguably "wrong").This legacy behavior exists because TypeScript added class fields to TypeScript before they were added to JavaScript. The TypeScript team decided to go with assignment semantics and shipped their implementation. Much later on TC39 decided to go with define semantics for class fields in JavaScript instead. This behaves differently if the base class has a setter with the same name:
When you run
tsc
, the value ofuseDefineForClassFields
defaults tofalse
when it's not specified and thetarget
intsconfig.json
is present but earlier thanES2022
. This sort of makes sense because the class field language feature was added in ES2022, so before ES2022 class fields didn't exist (and thus TypeScript's legacy behavior is active). However, TypeScript'starget
setting currently defaults toES3
which unfortunately means that theuseDefineForClassFields
setting currently defaults to false (i.e. to "wrong"). In other words if you runtsc
with all default settings, class fields will behave incorrectly.Previously esbuild tried to do what
tsc
did. That meant esbuild's version ofuseDefineForClassFields
wasfalse
by default, and was alsofalse
if esbuild's--target=
was present but earlier thanes2022
. However, TypeScript's legacy class field behavior is becoming increasingly irrelevant and people who expect class fields in TypeScript to work like they do in JavaScript are confused when they use esbuild with default settings. It's also confusing that the behavior of class fields would change if you changed the language target (even though that's exactly how TypeScript works).So with this release, esbuild will now only use the information in
tsconfig.json
to determine whetheruseDefineForClassFields
is true or not. SpecificallyuseDefineForClassFields
will be respected if present, otherwise it will befalse
iftarget
is present intsconfig.json
and isES2021
or earlier, otherwise it will betrue
. Targets passed to esbuild's--target=
setting will no longer affectuseDefineForClassFields
.Note that this means different directories in your build can have different values for this setting since esbuild allows different directories to have different
tsconfig.json
files within the same build. This should let you migrate your code one directory at a time without esbuild's--target=
setting affecting the semantics of your code.Add support for
verbatimModuleSyntax
from TypeScript 5.0TypeScript 5.0 added a new option called
verbatimModuleSyntax
that deprecates and replaces two older options,preserveValueImports
andimportsNotUsedAsValues
. SettingverbatimModuleSyntax
to true intsconfig.json
tells esbuild to not drop unused import statements. Specifically esbuild now treats"verbatimModuleSyntax": true
as if you had specified both"preserveValueImports": true
and"importsNotUsedAsValues": "preserve"
.Add multiple inheritance for
tsconfig.json
from TypeScript 5.0TypeScript 5.0 now allows multiple inheritance for
tsconfig.json
files. You can now pass an array of filenames via theextends
parameter and yourtsconfig.json
will start off containing properties from all of those configuration files, in order. This release of esbuild adds support for this new TypeScript feature.Remove support for
moduleSuffixes
(#2395)The community has requested that esbuild remove support for TypeScript's
moduleSuffixes
feature, so it has been removed in this release. Instead you can use esbuild's--resolve-extensions=
feature to select which module suffix you want to build with.Apply
--tsconfig=
overrides tostdin
and virtual files (#385, #2543)When you override esbuild's automatic
tsconfig.json
file detection with--tsconfig=
to pass a specifictsconfig.json
file, esbuild previously didn't apply these settings to source code passed via thestdin
API option or to TypeScript files from plugins that weren't in thefile
namespace. This release changes esbuild's behavior so that settings fromtsconfig.json
also apply to these source code files as well.Support
--tsconfig-raw=
in build API calls (#943, #2440)Previously if you wanted to override esbuild's automatic
tsconfig.json
file detection, you had to create a newtsconfig.json
file and pass the file name to esbuild via the--tsconfig=
flag. With this release, you can now optionally use--tsconfig-raw=
instead to pass the contents oftsconfig.json
to esbuild directly instead of passing the file name. For example, you can now use--tsconfig-raw={"compilerOptions":{"experimentalDecorators":true}}
to enable TypeScript experimental decorators directly using a command-line flag (assuming you escape the quotes correctly using your current shell's quoting rules). The--tsconfig-raw=
flag previously only worked with transform API calls but with this release, it now works with build API calls too.Ignore all
tsconfig.json
files innode_modules
(#276, #2386)This changes esbuild's behavior that applies
tsconfig.json
to all files in the subtree of the directory containingtsconfig.json
. In version 0.12.7, esbuild started ignoringtsconfig.json
files insidenode_modules
folders. The rationale is that people typically do this by mistake and that doing this intentionally is a rare use case that doesn't need to be supported. However, this change only applied to certain syntax-specific settings (e.g.jsxFactory
) but did not apply to path resolution settings (e.g.paths
). With this release, esbuild will now ignore alltsconfig.json
files innode_modules
instead of only ignoring certain settings.Ignore
tsconfig.json
when resolving paths withinnode_modules
(#2481)Previously fields in
tsconfig.json
related to path resolution (e.g.paths
) were respected for all files in the subtree containing thattsconfig.json
file, even within a nestednode_modules
subdirectory. This meant that a project'spaths
settings could potentially affect any bundled packages. With this release, esbuild will no longer usetsconfig.json
settings during path resolution inside nestednode_modules
subdirectories.Prefer
.js
over.ts
withinnode_modules
(#3019)The default list of implicit extensions that esbuild will try appending to import paths contains
.ts
before.js
. This makes it possible to bundle TypeScript projects that reference other files in the project using extension-less imports (e.g../some-file
to load./some-file.ts
instead of./some-file.js
). However, this behavior is undesirable withinnode_modules
directories. Some package authors publish both their original TypeScript code and their compiled JavaScript code side-by-side. In these cases, esbuild should arguably be using the compiled JavaScript files instead of the original TypeScript files because the TypeScript compilation settings for files within the package should be determined by the package author, not the user of esbuild. So with this release, esbuild will now prefer implicit.js
extensions over.ts
when searching for import paths withinnode_modules
.These changes are intended to improve esbuild's compatibility with
tsc
and reduce the number of unfortunate behaviors regardingtsconfig.json
and esbuild.Add a workaround for bugs in Safari 16.2 and earlier (#3072)
Safari's JavaScript parser had a bug (which has now been fixed) where at least something about unary/binary operators nested inside default arguments nested inside either a function or class expression was incorrectly considered a syntax error if that expression was the target of a property assignment. Here are some examples that trigger this Safari bug:
It's not clear what the exact conditions are that trigger this bug. However, a workaround for this bug appears to be to post-process your JavaScript to wrap any in function and class declarations that are the direct target of a property access expression in parentheses. That's the workaround that UglifyJS applies for this issue: mishoo/UglifyJS#2056. So that's what esbuild now does starting with this release:
This fix is not enabled by default. It's only enabled when
--target=
contains Safari 16.2 or earlier, such as with--target=safari16.2
. You can also explicitly enable or disable this specific transform (calledfunction-or-class-property-access
) with--supported:function-or-class-property-access=false
.Fix esbuild's TypeScript type declarations to forbid unknown properties (#3089)
Version 0.17.0 of esbuild introduced a specific form of function overloads in the TypeScript type definitions for esbuild's API calls that looks like this:
This more accurately reflects how esbuild's JavaScript API behaves. The result object returned by
transformSync
only has thelegalComments
property if you passlegalComments: 'external'
:However, this form of function overloads unfortunately allows typos (e.g.
egalComments
) to pass the type checker without generating an error as TypeScript allows all objects with unknown properties to extendTransformOptions
. These typos result in esbuild's API throwing an error at run-time.To prevent typos during type checking, esbuild's TypeScript type definitions will now use a different form that looks like this:
This change should hopefully not affect correct code. It should hopefully introduce type errors only for incorrect code.
Fix CSS nesting transform for pseudo-elements (#3119)
This release fixes esbuild's CSS nesting transform for pseudo-elements (e.g.
::before
and::after
). The CSS nesting specification says that the nesting selector does not work with pseudo-elements. This can be seen in the example below: esbuild does not carry the parent pseudo-element::before
through the nesting selector&
. However, that doesn't apply to pseudo-elements that are within the same selector. Previously esbuild had a bug where it considered pseudo-elements in both locations as invalid. This release changes esbuild to only consider those from the parent selector invalid, which should align with the specification:Forbid
&
before a type selector in nested CSSThe people behind the work-in-progress CSS nesting specification have very recently decided to forbid nested CSS that looks like
&div
. You will have to use eitherdiv&
or&:is(div)
instead. This release of esbuild has been updated to take this new change into consideration. Doing this now generates a warning. The suggested fix is slightly different depending on where in the overall selector it happened:v0.17.19

Fix CSS transform bugs with nested selectors that start with a combinator (#3096)
This release fixes several bugs regarding transforming nested CSS into non-nested CSS for older browsers. The bugs were due to lack of test coverage for nested selectors with more than one compound selector where they all start with the same combinator. Here's what some problematic cases look like before and after these fixes:
Fix bug with TypeScript parsing of instantiation expressions followed by
=
(#3111)This release fixes esbuild's TypeScript-to-JavaScript conversion code in the case where a potential instantiation expression is followed immediately by a
=
token (such that the trailing>
becomes a>=
token). Previously esbuild considered that to still be an instantiation expression, but the official TypeScript compiler considered it to be a>=
operator instead. This release changes esbuild's interpretation to match TypeScript. This edge case currently appears to be problematic for other TypeScript-to-JavaScript converters as well:x<y>=a<b<c>>()
x<y>=a();
x=a();
x<y>=a();
x=a()
Avoid removing unrecognized directives from the directive prologue when minifying (#3115)
The directive prologue in JavaScript is a sequence of top-level string expressions that come before your code. The only directives that JavaScript engines currently recognize are
use strict
and sometimesuse asm
. However, the people behind React have made up their own directive for their own custom dialect of JavaScript. Previously esbuild only preserved theuse strict
directive when minifying, although you could still write React JavaScript with esbuild using something like--banner:js="'your directive here';"
. With this release, you can now put arbitrary directives in the entry point and esbuild will preserve them in its minified output:Note that this means esbuild will no longer remove certain stray top-level strings when minifying. This behavior is an intentional change because these stray top-level strings are actually part of the directive prologue, and could potentially have semantics assigned to them (as was the case with React).
Improved minification of binary shift operators

<<

operators if the resulting code would be shorter:v0.17.18

Fix non-default JSON import error with
export {} from

export { default as x } from "y" assert { type: "json" }
as a non-default import. The bug did not affect code of the formimport { default as x } from ...
(only code that used theexport
keyword).Fix a crash with an invalid subpath import (#3067)
Previously esbuild could crash when attempting to generate a friendly error message for an invalid subpath import (i.e. an import starting with

field and the code for that error message was not updated when esbuild later added support for theimports

intsconfig.json
(#3058)TypeScript 5.0 added the ability to use
extends
intsconfig.json
to reference a path in a package whosepackage.json
file contains anexports
map that points to the correct location. This doesn't automatically work in esbuild becausetsconfig.json
affects esbuild's path resolution, so esbuild's normal path resolution logic doesn't apply.This release adds support for doing this by adding some additional code that attempts to resolve the
extends
path using theexports
field. The behavior should be similar enough to esbuild's main path resolution logic to work as expected.Note that esbuild always treats this
extends
import as arequire()
import since that's what TypeScript appears to do. Specifically therequire
condition will be active and theimport
condition will be inactive.Fix watch mode with
NODE_PATH
(#3062)Node has a rarely-used feature where you can extend the set of directories that node searches for packages using the
NODE_PATH
environment variable. While esbuild supports this too, previously a bug prevented esbuild's watch mode from picking up changes to imported files that were contained directly in aNODE_PATH
directory. You're supposed to useNODE_PATH
for packages, but some people abuse this feature by putting files in that directory instead (e.g.node_modules/some-file.js
instead ofnode_modules/some-pkg/some-file.js
). The watch mode bug happens when you do this because esbuild first tries to readsome-file.js
as a directory and then as a file. Watch mode was incorrectly waiting forsome-file.js
to become a valid directory. This release fixes this edge case bug by changing watch mode to watchsome-file.js
as a file when this happens.v0.17.16

Fix CSS nesting transform for triple-nested rules that start with a combinator (#3046)
This release fixes a bug with esbuild where triple-nested CSS rules that start with a combinator were not transformed correctly for older browsers. Here's an example of such a case before and after this bug fix:
Support
--inject
with a file loaded using thecopy
loader (#3041)This release now allows you to use
--inject
with a file that is loaded using thecopy
loader. Thecopy
loader copies the imported file to the output directory verbatim and rewrites the path in theimport
statement to point to the copied output file. When used with--inject
, this means the injected file will be copied to the output directory as-is and a bareimport
statement for that file will be inserted in any non-copy output files that esbuild generates.Note that since esbuild doesn't parse the contents of copied files, esbuild will not expose any of the export names as usable imports when you do this (in the way that esbuild's
--inject
feature is typically used). However, any side-effects that the injected file has will still occur.v0.17.15

Allow keywords as type parameter names in mapped types (#3033)
TypeScript allows type keywords to be used as parameter names in mapped types. Previously esbuild incorrectly treated this as an error. Code that does this is now supported:
Add annotations for re-exported modules in node (#2486, #3029)
Node lets you import named imports from a CommonJS module using ESM import syntax. However, the allowed names aren't derived from the properties of the CommonJS module. Instead they are derived from an arbitrary syntax-only analysis of the CommonJS module's JavaScript AST.
To accommodate node doing this, esbuild's ESM-to-CommonJS conversion adds a special non-executable "annotation" for node that describes the exports that node should expose in this scenario. It takes the form
0 && (module.exports = { ... })
and comes at the end of the file (0 && expr
meansexpr
is never evaluated).Previously esbuild didn't do this for modules re-exported using the
export * from
syntax. Annotations for these re-exports will now be added starting with this release:Note that you need to specify both
--format=cjs
and--platform=node
to get these node-specific annotations.Avoid printing an unnecessary space in between a number and a
.
(#3026)JavaScript typically requires a space in between a number token and a
.
token to avoid the.
being interpreted as a decimal point instead of a member expression. However, this space is not required if the number token itself contains a decimal point, an exponent, or uses a base other than 10. This release of esbuild now avoids printing the unnecessary space in these cases:Fix server-sent events with live reload when writing to the file system root (#3027)
This release fixes a bug where esbuild previously failed to emit server-sent events for live reload when
outdir
was the file system root, such as/

Allow the TypeScript 5.0
const
modifier in object type declarations (#3021)The new TypeScript 5.0
const
modifier was added to esbuild in version 0.17.5, and works with classes, functions, and arrow expressions. However, support for it wasn't added to object type declarations (e.g. interfaces) due to an oversight. This release adds support for these cases, so the following TypeScript 5.0 code can now be built with esbuild:Implement preliminary lowering for CSS nesting (#1945)
Chrome has implemented the new CSS nesting specification in version 112, which is currently in beta but will become stable very soon. So CSS nesting is now a part of the web platform!
This release of esbuild can now transform nested CSS syntax into non-nested CSS syntax for older browsers. The transformation relies on the
:is()
pseudo-class in many cases, so the transformation is only guaranteed to work when targeting browsers that support:is()
(e.g. Chrome 88+). You'll need to set esbuild'starget
to the browsers you intend to support to tell esbuild to do this transformation. You will get a warning if you use CSS nesting syntax with atarget
which includes older browsers that don't support:is()
.The lowering transformation looks like this:
More complex cases may generate the
:is()
pseudo-class:In addition, esbuild now has a special warning message for nested style rules that start with an identifier. This isn't allowed in CSS because the syntax would be ambiguous with the existing declaration syntax. The new warning message looks like this:
Keep in mind that the transformation in this release is a preliminary implementation. CSS has many features that interact in complex ways, and there may be some edge cases that don't work correctly yet.

and Go's WebAssembly internals (#3001)Go's WebAssembly implementation returns
EINVAL
instead ofENOTDIR
when using thereaddir
syscall on a file. This messes up esbuild's implementation of node's module resolution algorithm since encounteringENOTDIR
causes esbuild to continue its search (since it's a normal condition) while other encountering other errors causes esbuild to fail with an I/O error (since it's an unexpected condition). You can encounter this issue in practice if you use node's legacyNODE_PATH
feature to tell esbuild to resolve node modules in a custom directory that was not installed by npm. This release works around this problem by convertingEINVAL
intoENOTDIR
for thereaddir
syscall.Fix a minification bug with CSS
@layer
rules that have parsing errors (#3016)CSS at-rules require either a
{}
block or a semicolon at the end. Omitting both of these causes esbuild to treat the rule as an unknown at-rule. Previous releases of esbuild had a bug that incorrectly removed unknown at-rules without any children during minification if the at-rule token matched an at-rule that esbuild can handle. Specifically cssnano can generate@layer
rules with parsing errors, and empty@layer
rules cannot be removed because they have side effects (@layer
didn't exist when esbuild's CSS support was added, so esbuild wasn't written to handle this). This release changes esbuild to no longer discard@layer
rules with parsing errors when minifying (the rule@layer c
has a parsing error):Unterminated strings in CSS are no longer an error
The CSS specification provides rules for handling parsing errors. One of those rules is that user agents must close strings upon reaching the end of a line (i.e., before an unescaped line feed, carriage return or form feed character), but then drop the construct (declaration or rule) in which the string was found. For example:
...would be treated the same as:
...because the second declaration (from
font-family
to the semicolon aftercolor: red
) is invalid and is dropped.Previously using this CSS with esbuild failed to build due to a syntax error, even though the code can be interpreted by a browser. With this release, the code now produces a warning instead of an error, and esbuild prints the invalid CSS such that it stays invalid in the output:

Fix a crash when parsing inline TypeScript decorators (#2991)
Previously esbuild's TypeScript parser crashed when parsing TypeScript decorators if the definition of the decorator was inlined into the decorator itself:
This crash was not noticed earlier because this edge case did not have test coverage. The crash is fixed in this release.

Fix the
alias
feature to always prefer the longest match (#2963)It's possible to configure conflicting aliases such as
--alias:a=b
and--alias:a/c=d
, which is ambiguous for the import patha/c/x
(since it could map to eitherb/c/x
ord/x
). Previously esbuild would pick the first matchingalias
, which would non-deterministically pick between one of the possible matches. This release fixes esbuild to always deterministically pick the longest possible match.Minify calls to some global primitive constructors (#2962)
With this release, esbuild's minifier now replaces calls to

This release makes the following adjustments to esbuild's internal feature compatibility tables for node, which tell esbuild which versions of node are known to support all aspects of that feature:
class-private-brand-checks
: node v16.9+ => node v16.4+ (a decrease)hashbang
: node v12.0+ => node v12.5+ (an increase)optional-chain
: node v16.9+ => node v16.1+ (a decrease)template-literal
: node v4+ => node v10+ (an increase)Each of these adjustments was identified by comparing against data from the
node-compat-table
package and was manually verified using old node executables downloaded from https://nodejs.org/download/release/.v0.17.10

Update esbuild's handling of CSS nesting to match the latest specification changes (#1945)
The syntax for the upcoming CSS nesting feature has recently changed. The
@nest
prefix that was previously required in some cases is now gone, and nested rules no longer have to start with&
(as long as they don't start with an identifier or function token).This release updates esbuild's pass-through handling of CSS nesting syntax to match the latest specification changes. So you can now use esbuild to bundle CSS containing nested rules and try them out in a browser that supports CSS nesting (which includes nightly builds of both Chrome and Safari).
However, I'm not implementing lowering of nested CSS to non-nested CSS for older browsers yet. While the syntax has been decided, the semantics are still in flux. In particular, there is still some debate about changing the fundamental way that CSS nesting works. For example, you might think that the following CSS is equivalent to a
.outer .inner button { ... }
rule:But instead it's actually equivalent to a
.outer :is(.inner button) { ... }
rule which unintuitively also matches the following DOM structure:The
:is()
behavior is preferred by browser implementers because it's more memory-efficient, but the straightforward translation into a.outer .inner button { ... }
rule is preferred by developers used to the existing CSS preprocessing ecosystem (e.g. SASS). It seems premature to commit esbuild to specific semantics for this syntax at this time given the ongoing debate.Fix cross-file CSS rule deduplication involving
url()
tokens (#2936)Previously cross-file CSS rule deduplication didn't handle
url()
tokens correctly. These tokens contain references to import paths which may be internal (i.e. in the bundle) or external (i.e. not in the bundle). When comparing twourl()
tokens for equality, the underlying import paths should be compared instead of their references. This release of esbuild fixesurl()
token comparisons. One side effect is that@font-face
rules should now be deduplicated correctly across files:v0.17.9

Fix TypeScript code translation for certain computed

Fix a minification bug with non-ASCII identifiers (#2910)
This release fixes a bug with esbuild where non-ASCII identifiers followed by a keyword were incorrectly not separated by a space. This bug affected both the
in
andinstanceof
keywords. Here's an example of the fix:Fix a regression with esbuild's WebAssembly API in version 0.17.6 (#2911)
Version 0.17.6 of esbuild updated the Go toolchain to version 1.20.0. This had the unfortunate side effect of increasing the amount of stack space that esbuild uses (presumably due to some changes to Go's WebAssembly implementation) which could cause esbuild's WebAssembly-based API to crash with a stack overflow in cases where it previously didn't crash. One such case is the package
grapheme-splitter
which contains code that looks like this:This edge case involves a chain of binary operators that results in an AST over 400 nodes deep. Normally this wouldn't be a problem because Go has growable call stacks, so the call stack would just grow to be as large as needed. However, WebAssembly byte code deliberately doesn't expose the ability to manipulate the stack pointer, so Go's WebAssembly translation is forced to use the fixed-size WebAssembly call stack. So esbuild's WebAssembly implementation is vulnerable to stack overflow in cases like these.
It's not unreasonable for this to cause a stack overflow, and for esbuild's answer to this problem to be "don't write code like this." That's how many other AST-manipulation tools handle this problem. However, it's possible to implement AST traversal using iteration instead of recursion to work around limited call stack space. This version of esbuild implements this code transformation for esbuild's JavaScript parser and printer, so esbuild's WebAssembly implementation is now able to process the
grapheme-splitter
package (at least when compiled with Go 1.20.0 and run with node's WebAssembly implementation).v0.17.7

Change esbuild's parsing of TypeScript instantiation expressions to match TypeScript 4.8+ (#2907)

loader. This means that these CSS files are no longer be tree-shaken.Importing CSS into JS causes esbuild to automatically create a CSS entry point next to the JS entry point containing the bundled CSS. Previously packages that specified some form of
"sideEffects": false
could potentially cause esbuild to consider one or more of the JS files on the import path to the CSS file to be side-effect free, which would result in esbuild removing that CSS file from the bundle. This was problematic because the removal of that CSS is outwardly observable, since all CSS is global, so it was incorrect for previous versions of esbuild to tree-shake CSS files imported into JS files.Add constant folding for certain additional equality cases (#2394, #2895)
This release adds constant folding for expressions similar to the following:
