@roots/bud-swc

SWC transpilation extension for Bud projects

---

Installation

Install @roots/bud-swc to your project.

Yarn:

yarn add @roots/bud-swc --dev

npm:

npm install @roots/bud-swc --save-dev

Configuration

@roots/bud-swc works with zero configuration. But there is a robust and developer friendly configuration API should you need to make a modification to the provided defaults.

Configuration with .swcrc

Including a .swcrc config file in the root of your project will replace all default options.

This is not recommended if you want to use other extensions which manipulate swc options (like @roots/bud-react and @roots/bud-emotion).

Configuration with bud.swc

You can configure jsc with the bud.swc.setJsc method:

bud.swc.setJsc({
  baseUrl: `/base/url/`,
});

bud.swc.setJsc((jsc = {}) => ({
  ...jsc,
  baseUrl: `/base/url/`,
}));

Many jsc options have associated helper methods which don't require using bud.swc.setJsc directly. These should be preferred over bud.swc.setJsc whenenver possible.

jsc.baseUrl

Use the bud.swc.setBaseUrl method to configure jsc.baseUrl

bud.swc.setBaseUrl(`/base/url/`);

jsc.externalHelpers

Use the bud.swc.setExternalHelpers method to configure jsc.externalHelpers

bud.swc.setExternalHelpers(true);

jsc.experimental

Use the bud.swc.setExperimental method to configure jsc.experimental

bud.swc.setExperimental({ plugins: [] });

If you want to set jsc.experimental.plugins you may wish to use the bud.swc.setPlugins method.

jsc.loose

Use the bud.swc.setLoose method to configure jsc.loose

bud.swc.setLoose(true);

jsc.minify

Use the bud.swc.setMinify method to configure jsc.minify

bud.swc.setMinify(true);

jsc.parser

To configure the parser you can use [bud.swc.setParser].

Example:

bud.swc.setParser({ decorators: false });

Note that jsx.parser.syntax, jsc.parser.jsx and jsc.parser.tsx will be overwritten by syntax specific configuration. You should change those options using bud.swc.ecmascript.setParser or bud.swc.typescript.setParser instead of using the base options.

jsc.preserveAllComments

Use the bud.swc.preserveAllComments method to oconfigure jsc.preserveAllComments

bud.swc.preserveAllComments(false);

jsc.target

Use the bud.swc.setTarget method to configure jsc.target

bud.swc.setTarget(`es5`);

jsc.transform

Use the bud.swc.setTransform method to configure jsc.transform

bud.swc.setTransform({});

Syntax specific jsc configuration

SWC supports both ecmascript and TypeScript. If you want to make changes to the jsc config which are only applied to a specific syntax, you can make overrides using bud.swc.ecmascript and bud.swc.typescript, respectively.

bud.swc.ecmascript.setKeepClassNames(true);
bud.swc.typescript.setKeepClassNames(false);

All of the above jsc.* options work the same way as detailed above.

Plugins

Use the bud.swc.setPlugins method to configure experimental.plugins:

bud.swc.setPlugins([["some-swc-plugin", {}]]);

bud.swc.setPlugins((plugins = []) => [...plugins, ["some-swc-plugin", {}]]);

Env

Use the bud.swc.setEnv method to configure swc env options:

bud.swc.setEnv({
  targets: `Chrome >= 48`,
});

Source maps

Use the bud.swc.setSourceMaps method to configure the swc sourceMaps option:

bud.swc.setSourceMaps(`inline`);

Typechecking

@roots/bud-swc does not currently support typechecking during compilation as swc does not natively support it yet.

Our recommendation is to run typechecking as a separate process. You can use tsc directly: tsc --noEmit.

You could also add the fork-ts-webpack-plugin.
