replace

@rollup/plugin-replace

🍣 A Rollup plugin which replaces targeted strings in files while bundling.

Requirements

This plugin requires an LTS Node version (v8.0.0+) and Rollup v1.20.0+.

Install

Using npm:

npm install @rollup/plugin-replace --save-dev

Usage

Create a rollup.config.js configuration file and import the plugin:

import replace from '@rollup/plugin-replace';

export default {
  input: 'src/index.js',
  output: {
    dir: 'output',
    format: 'cjs',
  },
  plugins: [
    replace({
      'process.env.NODE_ENV': JSON.stringify('production'),
      __buildDate__: () => JSON.stringify(new Date()),
      __buildVersion: 15,
    }),
  ],
};

Then call rollup either via the CLI or the API.

The configuration above will replace every instance of process.env.NODE_ENV with "production" and __buildDate__ with the result of the given function in any file included in the build.

Note: Values must be either primitives (e.g. string, number) or function that returns a string. For complex values, use JSON.stringify. To replace a target with a value that will be evaluated as a string, set the value to a quoted string (e.g. "test") or use JSON.stringify to preprocess the target string safely.

Typically, @rollup/plugin-replace should be placed in plugins before other plugins so that they may apply optimizations, such as dead code removal.

Options

In addition to the properties and values specified for replacement, users may also specify the options below.

delimiters

Type: Array[...String, String]
Default: ['\b', '\b']

Specifies the boundaries around which strings will be replaced. By default, delimiters are word boundaries. See Word Boundaries below for more information.

exclude

Type: String | Array[...String]
Default: null

A minimatch pattern, or array of patterns, which specifies the files in the build the plugin should ignore. By default no files are ignored.

include

Type: String | Array[...String]
Default: null

A minimatch pattern, or array of patterns, which specifies the files in the build the plugin should operate on. By default all files are targeted.

Word Boundaries

By default, values will only match if they are surrounded by word boundaries.

Consider the following options and build file:

module.exports = {
  ...
  plugins: [replace({ changed: 'replaced' })]
};

// file.js
console.log('changed');
console.log('unchanged');

The result would be:

// file.js
console.log('replaced');
console.log('unchanged');

To ignore word boundaries and replace every instance of the string, wherever it may be, specify empty strings as delimiters:

export default {
  ...
  plugins: [
    replace({
      changed: 'replaced',
      delimiters: ['', '']
    })
  ]
};
