rspack-chain

Use a chaining API to generate and simplify the modification of Rspack configurations.

Note: rspack-chain is a fork of neutrinojs/webpack-chain, thanks for their excellent work ❤️

Introduction

Rspack's core configuration is based on creating and modifying a potentially unwieldy JavaScript object. While this is OK for configurations on individual projects, trying to share these objects across projects and make subsequent modifications gets messy, as you need to have a deep understanding of the underlying object structure to make those changes.

rspack-chain attempts to improve this process by providing a chainable or fluent API for creating and modifying Rspack configurations. Key portions of the API can be referenced by user-specified names, which helps to standardize how to modify a configuration across projects.

This is easier explained through the examples following.

Installation

rspack-chain requires Node.js 16 or higher. rspack-chain also only creates configuration objects designed for use with Rspack.

You may install this package using either Yarn or npm (choose one):

Yarn

yarn add --dev rspack-chain

npm

npm install --save-dev rspack-chain

Getting Started

Once you have rspack-chain installed, you can start creating a Rspack configuration. For this guide, our example base configuration will be rspack.config.js in the root of our project directory.

// Require the rspack-chain module. This module exports a single
// constructor function for creating a configuration API.
const Config = require('rspack-chain');

// Instantiate the configuration with a new API
const config = new Config();

// Make configuration changes using the chain API.
// Every API call tracks a change to the stored configuration.

config
  // Interact with entry points
  .entry('index')
  .add('src/index.js')
  .end()
  // Modify output settings
  .output.path('dist')
  .filename('[name].bundle.js');

// Create named rules which can be modified later
config.module
  .rule('lint')
  .test(/\.js$/)
  .pre()
  .include.add('src')
  .end()
  // Even create named uses (loaders)
  .use('eslint')
  .loader('eslint-loader')
  .options({
    rules: {
      semi: 'off',
    },
  });

config.module
  .rule('compile')
  .test(/\.js$/)
  .include.add('src')
  .add('test')
  .end()
  .use('babel')
  .loader('babel-loader')
  .options({
    presets: [['@babel/preset-env', { modules: false }]],
  });

// Create named plugins too!
config.plugin('clean').use(CleanPlugin, [['dist'], { root: '/dir' }]);

// Export the completed configuration object to be consumed by rspack
module.exports = config.toConfig();

Having shared configurations is also simple. Just export the configuration and call .toConfig() prior to passing to rspack.

// rspack.core.js
const Config = require('rspack-chain');
const config = new Config();

// Make configuration shared across targets
// ...

module.exports = config;

// rspack.dev.js
const config = require('./rspack.core');

// Dev-specific configuration
// ...
module.exports = config.toConfig();

// rspack.prod.js
const config = require('./rspack.core');

// Production-specific configuration
// ...
module.exports = config.toConfig();

ChainedMap

One of the core API interfaces in rspack-chain is a ChainedMap. A ChainedMap operates similar to a JavaScript Map, with some conveniences for chaining and generating configuration. If a property is marked as being a ChainedMap, it will have an API and methods as described below:

Unless stated otherwise, these methods will return the ChainedMap, allowing you to chain these methods.

// Remove all entries from a Map.
clear();

// Remove a single entry from a Map given its key.
// key: *
delete key;

// Fetch the value from a Map located at the corresponding key.
// key: *
// returns: value
get(key);

// Fetch the value from a Map located at the corresponding key.
// If the key is missing, the key is set to the result of function fn.
// key: *
// fn: Function () -> value
// returns: value
getOrCompute(key, fn);

// Set a value on the Map stored at the `key` location.
// key: *
// value: *
set(key, value);

// Returns `true` or `false` based on whether a Map as has a value set at a
// particular key.
// key: *
// returns: Boolean
has(key);

// Returns an array of all the values stored in the Map.
// returns: Array
values();

// Returns an object of all the entries in the backing Map
// where the key is the object property, and the value
// corresponding to the key. Will return `undefined` if the backing
// Map is empty.
// This will order properties by their name if the value is
// a ChainedMap that used .before() or .after().
// returns: Object, undefined if empty
entries();

// Provide an object which maps its properties and values
// into the backing Map as keys and values.
// You can also provide an array as the second argument
// for property names to omit from being merged.
// obj: Object
// omit: Optional Array
merge(obj, omit);

// Execute a function against the current configuration context
// handler: Function -> ChainedMap
// A function which is given a single argument of the ChainedMap instance
batch(handler);

// Conditionally execute a function to continue configuration
// condition: Boolean
// whenTruthy: Function -> ChainedMap
// invoked when condition is truthy, given a single argument of the ChainedMap instance
// whenFalsy: Optional Function -> ChainedMap
// invoked when condition is falsy, given a single argument of the ChainedMap instance
when(condition, whenTruthy, whenFalsy);

ChainedValueMap

ChainedValueMap inherited ChainedMap but callable. call it by value means to set it to it and clean all data in map. set any key/value in map will clear value setted by call it.

It is chainable,so calling it will return the original instance, allowing you to continue to chain. For example, config.node is a ChainedValueMap instance, so it can be used as:

// call as function will setting a value on a ChainedMap
config.node(false);

// use as `ChainedMap`
config.node.set('amd', 'true');

ChainedSet

Another of the core API interfaces in rspack-chain is a ChainedSet. A ChainedSet operates similar to a JavaScript Set, with some conveniences for chaining and generating configuration. If a property is marked as being a ChainedSet, it will have an API and methods as described below:

Unless stated otherwise, these methods will return the ChainedSet, allowing you to chain these methods.

// Add/append a value to the end of a Set.
// value: *
add(value);

// Add a value to the beginning of a Set.
// value: *
prepend(value);

// Remove all values from a Set.
clear();

// Remove a specific value from a Set.
// value: *
delete value;

// Returns `true` or `false` based on whether or not the
// backing Set contains the specified value.
// value: *
// returns: Boolean
has(value);

// Returns an array of values contained in the backing Set.
// returns: Array
values();

// Concatenates the given array to the end of the backing Set.
// arr: Array
merge(arr);

// Execute a function against the current configuration context
// handler: Function -> ChainedSet
// A function which is given a single argument of the ChainedSet instance
batch(handler);

// Conditionally execute a function to continue configuration
// condition: Boolean
// whenTruthy: Function -> ChainedSet
// invoked when condition is truthy, given a single argument of the ChainedSet instance
// whenFalsy: Optional Function -> ChainedSet
// invoked when condition is falsy, given a single argument of the ChainedSet instance
when(condition, whenTruthy, whenFalsy);

Shorthand methods

A number of shorthand methods exist for setting a value on a ChainedMap with the same key as the shorthand method name. For example, devServer.hot is a shorthand method, so it can be used as:

// A shorthand method for setting a value on a ChainedMap
devServer.hot(true);

// This would be equivalent to:
devServer.set('hot', true);

A shorthand method is chainable, so calling it will return the original instance, allowing you to continue to chain.

Config

Create a new configuration object.

const Config = require('rspack-chain');

const config = new Config();

Moving to deeper points in the API will change the context of what you are modifying. You can move back to the higher context by either referencing the top-level config again, or by calling .end() to move up one level. If you are familiar with jQuery, .end() works similarly. All API calls will return the API instance at the current context unless otherwise specified. This is so you may chain API calls continuously if desired.

For details on the specific values that are valid for all shorthand and low-level methods, please refer to their corresponding name in the Rspack docs hierarchy.

Config module rules oneOfs (conditional rules): ordering before

Specify that the current oneOf context should operate before another named oneOf. You cannot use both .before() and .after() on the same oneOf.

config.module.rule(name).oneOf(name).before();

// Example

config.module
  .rule('scss')
  .test(/\.scss$/)
  .oneOf('normal')
  .use('sass')
  .loader('sass-loader')
  .end()
  .end()
  .oneOf('sass-vars')
  .before('normal')
  .resourceQuery(/\?sassvars/)
  .use('sass-vars')
  .loader('sass-vars-to-js-loader');

Config module rules oneOfs (conditional rules): ordering after

Specify that the current oneOf context should operate after another named oneOf. You cannot use both .before() and .after() on the same oneOf.

config.module.rule(name).oneOf(name).after();

// Example

config.module
  .rule('scss')
  .test(/\.scss$/)
  .oneOf('vue')
  .resourceQuery(/\?vue/)
  .use('vue-style')
  .loader('vue-style-loader')
  .end()
  .end()
  .oneOf('normal')
  .use('sass')
  .loader('sass-loader')
  .end()
  .end()
  .oneOf('sass-vars')
  .after('vue')
  .resourceQuery(/\?sassvars/)
  .use('sass-vars')
  .loader('sass-vars-to-js-loader');

Config module rules resolve

Specify a resolve configuration to be merged over the default config.resolve for modules that match the rule.

See "Config resolve" sections above for full syntax.

config.module.rule(name).resolve;

// Example

config.module
  .rule('scss')
  .test(/\.scss$/)
  .resolve.symlinks(true);

Merging Config

rspack-chain supports merging in an object to the configuration instance which matches a layout similar to how the rspack-chain schema is laid out.

Note: This object does not match the Rspack configuration schema exactly (for example the [name] keys for entry/rules/plugins), so you may need to transform Rspack configuration objects (such as those output by rspack-chain's .toConfig()) to match the layout below prior to passing to .merge().

config.merge({ devtool: 'source-map' });

config.get('devtool'); // "source-map"

config.merge({
  [key]: value,

        },
      },
    },
  },
});

Conditional configuration

When working with instances of ChainedMap and ChainedSet, you can perform conditional configuration using when. You must specify an expression to when() which will be evaluated for truthiness or falsiness. If the expression is truthy, the first function argument will be invoked with an instance of the current chained instance. You can optionally provide a second function to be invoked when the condition is falsy, which is also given the current chained instance.

// Example: Only add minify plugin during production
config.when(process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production', (config) => {
  config.plugin('minify').use(BabiliRspackPlugin);
});

// Example: Only add minify plugin during production,
// otherwise set devtool to source-map
config.when(
  process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production',
  (config) => config.plugin('minify').use(BabiliRspackPlugin),
  (config) => config.devtool('source-map'),
);

Inspecting generated configuration

You can inspect the generated Rspack config using config.toString(). This will generate a stringified version of the config with comment hints for named rules, uses and plugins:

config
  .module
    .rule('compile')
      .test(/\.js$/)
      .use('babel')
        .loader('babel-loader');

config.toString();

/*
{
  module: {
    rules: [
      /* config.module.rule('compile') */
      {
        test: /\.js$/,
        use: [
          /* config.module.rule('compile').use('babel') */
          {
            loader: 'babel-loader'
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}
*/

By default the generated string cannot be used directly as real Rspack config if it contains objects and plugins that need to be required. In order to generate usable config, you can customize how objects and plugins are stringified by setting a special __expression property on them:

const sass = require('sass');
sass.__expression = `require('sass')`;

class MyPlugin {}
MyPlugin.__expression = `require('my-plugin')`;

function myFunction() {}
myFunction.__expression = `require('my-function')`;

config
  .plugin('example')
  .use(MyPlugin, [{ fn: myFunction, implementation: sass }]);

config.toString();

/*
{
  plugins: [
    new (require('my-plugin'))({
      fn: require('my-function'),
      implementation: require('sass')
    })
  ]
}
*/

Plugins specified via their path will have their require() statement generated automatically:

config
  .plugin('env')
  .use(require.resolve('webpack/lib/ProvidePlugin'), [{ jQuery: 'jquery' }]);

config.toString();

/*
{
  plugins: [
    new (require('/foo/bar/src/node_modules/webpack/lib/EnvironmentPlugin.js'))(
      {
        jQuery: 'jquery'
      }
    )
  ]
}
*/

You can also call toString as a static method on Config in order to modify the configuration object prior to stringifying.

Config.toString({
  ...config.toConfig(),
  module: {
    defaultRules: [
      {
        use: [
          {
            loader: 'banner-loader',
            options: { prefix: 'banner-prefix.txt' },
          },
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
});

{
  plugins: [
    /* config.plugin('foo') */
    new TestPlugin()
  ],
  module: {
    defaultRules: [
      {
        use: [
          {
            loader: 'banner-loader',
            options: {
              prefix: 'banner-prefix.txt'
            }
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}
