Unified plugin system for build tools.

Currently supports:

Hooks

unplugin extends the excellent Rollup plugin API as the unified plugin interface and provides a compatible layer base on the build tools used with.

Supported
Hook Rollup Vite Webpack 4 Webpack 5 esbuild Rspack
enforce 1 1
buildStart
resolveId
loadInclude2
load 3
transformInclude2
transform 3
watchChange
buildEnd
writeBundle4
  1. Rollup and esbuild do not support using enforce to control the order of plugins. Users need to maintain the order manually.
  2. Webpack's id filter is outside of loader logic; an additional hook is needed for better perf on Webpack. In Rollup and Vite, this hook has been polyfilled to match the behaviors. See for following usage examples.
  3. Although esbuild can handle both JavaScript and CSS and many other file formats, you can only return JavaScript in load and transform results.
  4. Currently, writeBundle is only serves as a hook for the timing. It doesn't pass any arguments.

Warning: The Rspack support is experimental. Future changes to Rspack integrations might not follow semver, please pin unplugin in your dependency when using. It's not recommended to use in production.

Hook Context

Supported
Hook Rollup Vite Webpack 4 Webpack 5 esbuild Rspack
this.parse
this.addWatchFile
this.emitFile5
this.getWatchFiles
this.warn
this.error
  1. Currently, this.emitFile only supports the EmittedAsset variant.

Usage

import { createUnplugin } from 'unplugin'

export const unplugin = createUnplugin((options: UserOptions) => {
  return {
    name: 'unplugin-prefixed-name',
    // webpack's id filter is outside of loader logic,
    // an additional hook is needed for better perf on webpack
    transformInclude(id) {
      return id.endsWith('.vue')
    },
    // just like rollup transform
    transform(code) {
      return code.replace(/<template>/, '<template><div>Injected</div>')
    },
    // more hooks coming
  }
})

export const vitePlugin = unplugin.vite
export const rollupPlugin = unplugin.rollup
export const webpackPlugin = unplugin.webpack
export const rspackPlugin = unplugin.rspack
export const esbuildPlugin = unplugin.esbuild

Nested Plugins

Since v0.10.0, unplugin supports constructing multiple nested plugins to behave like a single one. For example:

Supported
Rollup Vite Webpack 4 Webpack 5 Rspack esbuild
>=3.16 ⚠️7
  1. Rollup supports nested plugins since v3.1.0. Plugin aurthor should ask users to a have a Rollup version of >=3.1.0 when using nested plugins. For singe plugin format, unplugin works for any versions of Rollup.
  2. Since esbuild does not have a built-in transform phase, the transform hook of nested plugin will not work on esbuild yet. Other hooks like load or resolveId work fine. We will try to find a way to support it in the future.
Usage
import { createUnplugin } from 'unplugin'

export const unplugin = createUnplugin((options: UserOptions) => {
  return [
    {
      name: 'plugin-a',
      transform(code) {
        // ...
      },
    },
    {
      name: 'plugin-b',
      resolveId(id) {
        // ...
      },
    },
  ]
})

Plugin Installation

Vite
// vite.config.ts
import UnpluginFeature from './unplugin-feature'

export default {
  plugins: [
    UnpluginFeature.vite({ /* options */ }),
  ],
}
Rollup
// rollup.config.js
import UnpluginFeature from './unplugin-feature'

export default {
  plugins: [
    UnpluginFeature.rollup({ /* options */ }),
  ],
}
Webpack
// webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    require('./unplugin-feature').webpack({ /* options */ }),
  ],
}
esbuild
// esbuild.config.js
import { build } from 'esbuild'

build({
  plugins: [
    require('./unplugin-feature').esbuild({ /* options */ }),
  ],
})
Rspack
// rspack.config.js
module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    require('./unplugin-feature').rspack({ /* options */ }),
  ],
}

Framework-specific Logic

While unplugin provides compatible layers for some hooks, the functionality of it is limited to the common subset of the build's plugins capability. For more advanced framework-specific usages, unplugin provides an escape hatch for that.

export const unplugin = createUnplugin((options: UserOptions, meta) => {
  console.log(meta.framework) // 'vite' | 'rollup' | 'webpack' | 'rspack' | 'esbuild'

  return {
    // common unplugin hooks
    name: 'unplugin-prefixed-name',
    transformInclude(id) { /* ... */ },
    transform(code) { /* ... */ },

    // framework specific hooks
    vite: {
      // Vite plugin
      configureServer(server) {
        // configure Vite server
      },
      // ...
    },
    rollup: {
      // Rollup plugin
    },
    webpack(compiler) {
      // configure Webpack compiler
    },
    rspack(compiler) {
      // configure Rspack compiler
    },
    esbuild: {
      // change the filter of onResolve and onLoad
      onResolveFilter?: RegExp,
      onLoadFilter?: RegExp,
      // or you can completely replace the setup logic
      setup?: EsbuildPlugin.setup,
    },
  }
})

Creating platform specific plugins

The package exports a set of functions in place of createUnplugin that allow for the creation of plugins for specific bundlers. Each of the function takes the same generic factory argument as createUnplugin.

import {
  creteEsbuildPlugin,
  getRollupPlugin,
  getRspackPlugin,
  getVitePlugin,
  getWebpackPlugin
} from 'unplugin'

const vitePlugin = getVitePlugin({ /* options */ })
const rollupPlugin = getRollupPlugin({ /* options */ })
const esbuildPlugin = creteEsbuildPlugin({ /* options */ })
const webpackPlugin = getWebpackPlugin({ /* options */ })
const rspackPlugin = getRspackPlugin({ /* options */ })

Conventions

  • Plugins powered by unplugin should have a clear name with unplugin- prefix.

  • Include unplugin keyword in package.json.

  • To provide better DX, packages could export 2 kinds of entry points:

    • Default export: the returned value of createUnplugin function

      import UnpluginFeature from 'unplugin-feature'
    • Subpath exports: properties of the returned value of createUnplugin function for each framework users

      import VitePlugin from 'unplugin-feature/vite'
    • Refer to unplugin-starter for more details about this setup.
