@liber-ufpe/esbuild-plugin-sharp v1.1.0

esbuild-plugin-sharp

And esbuild plugin that generates webp and avif images out-of-the-box, and allows other formats supported by sharp.

Install

npm install @liber-ufpe/esbuild-plugin-sharp --save-dev

Usage

!IMPORTANT metafile: true option is required to generate the images files. See more about metafile in esbuild docs.

import esbuild from "esbuild";
import {imagesPlugin} from "@liber-ufpe/esbuild-plugin-sharp";

esbuild.build({
    entryPoints: ["src/index.js"],
    bundle: true,
    metafile: true,
    outfile: "dist/index.js",
    plugins: [imagesPlugin()],
}).catch(() => process.exit(1));

Or when customizing the options:

import esbuild from "esbuild";
import {imagesPlugin} from "@liber-ufpe/esbuild-plugin-sharp";

esbuild.build({
    entryPoints: ["src/index.js"],
    bundle: true,
    metafile: true,
    outfile: "dist/index.js",
    plugins: [imagesPlugin({ webp: false })],
}).catch(() => process.exit(1));

If you need to add an extra format, for example, another webp image but with lower quality:

import esbuild from "esbuild";
import {imagesPlugin} from "@liber-ufpe/esbuild-plugin-sharp";

esbuild.build({
    entryPoints: ["src/index.js"],
    bundle: true,
    metafile: true,
    outfile: "dist/index.js",
    plugins: [
        imagesPlugin({
            extraFormats: [{
                name: "webp",
                extension: ".low.webp",
                options: {
                    quality: 50
                }
            }]
        })
    ],
}).catch(() => process.exit(1));
