Unified plugin system for Vite, Rollup, Webpack, and more

unplugin

Unified plugin system for build tools.

Currently supports:

• Vite
• Rollup
• Webpack

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
buildStart	✅	✅	✅	✅
buildEnd	✅	✅	✅	✅
transformInclude*	✅	✅	✅	✅
transform	✅	✅	✅	✅
enforce	❌**	✅	✅	✅
resolveId	✅	✅	✅	✅
load	✅	✅	✅	✅

• *: 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.
• **: Rollup does not support using enforce to control the order of plugins. Users need to maintain the order manually.

Usage

import { createUnplugin } from 'unplugin'

export const unplugin = createUnplugin((options: UserOptions) => {
  return {
    name: 'my-first-unplugin',
    // 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

Plugin Installation

Vite

// vite.config.ts
import MyUnplugin from './my-unplugin'

export default {
  plugins: [
    MyUnplugin.vite({ /* options */ })
  ]
}

Rollup

// rollup.config.js
import MyUnplugin from './my-unplugin'

export default {
  plugins: [
    MyUnplugin.rollup({ /* options */ })
  ]
}

Webpack

// webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    require('./my-unplugin').webpack({ /* 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'

  return {
    // common unplugin hooks
    name: 'my-first-unplugin',
    transformInclude (id) { /* ... */ },
    transform (code) { /* ... */  },
    
    // framework specific hooks
    vite: {
      // Vite config
      configureServer(server) {
        // configure Vite server
      }
    },
    rollup: {
      // Rollup config
    },
    webpack(compiler) {
      // configure Webpack compiler
    }
  }
})
