https://www.npmjs.com/package/esbuild-copy-files-plugin

An esbuild plugin that allows to easily copy files and folders across the application

Install:

npm i esbuild-copy-files-plugin

Simple plugin for copy files and folders from one place to another. Need to copy your index.html and images in build folder? This is what you need!

source can be string or string[]

target can be string (copy in one place) or string[] (copy in multiple places)

Example 1 (copy with folder):

esbuild.build({  
  /*
   *  common build stuff
   */
   
   plugins: [
    copy({
      source: ['./src/index.html', './src/images'],
      target: './public',
      copyWithFolder: true  // will copy "images" folder with all files inside
    })
   ]
});

Result:

project/
├── public/
│   ├── images/
|   |   ├── inner-folder/
|   |   |   └── inner-image.jpeg
|   |   ├── image1.jpeg
|   |   └── image2.jpeg
│   └── index.html
|
├── src/
│   ├── images/
|   |   ├── inner-folder/
|   |   |   └── inner-image.jpeg
|   |   ├── image1.jpeg
|   |   └── image2.jpeg
│   └── index.html

Example 2 (unboxing the folder):

esbuild.build({  
  /*
   *  common build stuff
   */
   
   plugins: [
    copy({
      source: ['./src/index.html', './src/images'],
      target: './public',
      copyWithFolder: false  // will copy everything from images/ directly in src/
    })
   ]
});

Result:

project/
├── public/
|   ├── inner-folder/
|   |   └── inner-image.jpeg
|   ├── image1.jpeg
|   └── image2.jpeg
│   └── index.html
|
├── src/
│   ├── images/
|   |   ├── inner-folder/
|   |   |   └── inner-image.jpeg
|   |   ├── image1.jpeg
|   |   └── image2.jpeg
│   └── index.html
