swc

API for running the SWC cli under Bazel

The simplest usage relies on the swcrc attribute automatically discovering .swcrc:

load("@aspect_rules_swc//swc:defs.bzl", "swc")

swc(
name = "compile",
srcs = ["file.ts"],
)

Rules

swc_compile

Underlying rule for the swc macro.

Most users should use swc instead, as it predicts the output files and has convenient default values.

Use this if you need more control over how the rule is called, for example to set your own output labels for js_outs.

Example usage (generated):

load("@aspect_rules_swc//swc:defs.bzl", "swc_compile")

swc_compile(
# A unique name for this target.
name = "",
# source files, typically .ts files in the source tree
srcs = [],
)

name

Required name.

A unique name for this target.

srcs

Required list of labels.

source files, typically .ts files in the source tree

args

Optional list of strings. Default: []

Additional arguments to pass to swcx cli (NOT swc!).

NB: this is not the same as the CLI arguments for @swc/cli npm package. For performance, rules_swc does not call a Node.js program wrapping the swc rust binding. Instead, we directly spawn the (somewhat experimental) native Rust binary shipped inside the @swc/core npm package, which the swc project calls "swcx" Tracking issue for feature parity: https://github.com/swc-project/swc/issues/4017

source_maps

Optional string. Default: "false"

Create source map files for emitted JavaScript files.

see https://swc.rs/docs/usage/cli#--source-maps--s

source_root

Optional string. Default: ""

Specify the root path for debuggers to find the reference source code.

see https://swc.rs/docs/usage/cli#--source-root

If not set, then the directory containing the source file is used.

output_dir

Optional boolean. Default: False

Whether to produce a directory output rather than individual files.

If out_dir is also specified, it is used as the name of the output directory. Otherwise, the directory is named the same as the target.

data

Optional list of labels. Default: []

Runtime dependencies to include in binaries/tests that depend on this target.

Follows the same semantics as js_library data attribute. See https://docs.aspect.build/rulesets/aspect_rules_js/docs/js_library#data for more info.

swcrc

Optional label. Default: None

label of a configuration file for swc, see https://swc.rs/docs/configuration/swcrc

plugins

Optional list of labels. Default: []

[Must provide DefaultInfo,SwcPluginConfigInfo]

swc compilation plugins, created with swc_plugin rule

out_dir

Optional string. Default: ""

With output_dir=False, output files will have this directory prefix.

With output_dir=True, this is the name of the output directory.

root_dir

Optional string. Default: ""

a subdirectory under the input package which should be consider the root directory of all the input files

js_outs

Optional list of labels. Default: []

list of expected JavaScript output files.

There should be one for each entry in srcs.

map_outs

Optional list of labels. Default: []

list of expected source map output files.

Can be empty, meaning no source maps should be produced. If non-empty, there should be one for each entry in srcs.

Macros and Functions

swc

Execute the SWC compiler

Example usage (generated):

load("@aspect_rules_swc//swc:defs.bzl", "swc")

swc(
# A name for this target
name = "",
# List of labels of TypeScript source files.
srcs = [],
)

name

Required.

A name for this target

srcs

Required.

List of labels of TypeScript source files.

args

Optional. Default: []

Additional options to pass to swcx cli, see https://github.com/swc-project/swc/discussions/3859 Note: we do not run the NodeJS wrapper @swc/cli

data

Optional. Default: []

Files needed at runtime by binaries or tests that transitively depend on this target. See https://bazel.build/reference/be/common-definitions#typical-attributes

plugins

Optional. Default: []

List of plugin labels created with swc_plugin.

output_dir

Optional. Default: False

Whether to produce a directory output rather than individual files.

If out_dir is set, then that is used as the name of the output directory. Otherwise, the output directory is named the same as the target.

swcrc

Optional. Default: None

Label of a .swcrc configuration file for the SWC cli, see https://swc.rs/docs/configuration/swcrc Instead of a label, you can pass a dictionary matching the JSON schema. If this attribute isn't specified, and a file .swcrc exists in the same folder as this rule, it is used.

Note that some settings in .swcrc also appear in tsconfig.json. See the notes in [/docs/tsconfig.md].

source_maps

Optional. Default: False

If set, the --source-maps argument is passed to the SWC cli with the value. See https://swc.rs/docs/usage/cli#--source-maps--s. True/False are automaticaly converted to "true"/"false" string values the cli expects.

out_dir

Optional. Default: None

The base directory for output files relative to the output directory for this package.

If output_dir is True, then this is used as the name of the output directory.

root_dir

Optional. Default: None

A subdirectory under the input package which should be considered the root directory of all the input files

kwargs

Optional.

additional keyword arguments passed through to underlying swc_compile, eg. visibility, tags

swc_plugin

Configure an SWC plugin

Example usage (generated):

load("@aspect_rules_swc//swc:defs.bzl", "swc_plugin")

swc_plugin(
# A name for this target
name = "",
)

name

Required.

A name for this target

srcs

Optional. Default: []

Plugin files. Either a directory containing a package.json pointing at a wasm file as the main entrypoint, or a wasm file. Usually a linked npm package target via rules_js.

config

Optional. Default: {}

Optional configuration dict for the plugin. This is passed as a JSON object into the jsc.experimental.plugins entry for the plugin.

kwargs

Optional.

additional keyword arguments passed through to underlying rule, eg. visibility, tags
