An ESBuild plugin that fixes import paths by applying the following plugins:
fixAliasPlugin
: Resolves path aliases defined intsconfig.json
.fixFolderImportsPlugin
: Replaces imports pointing to directories with explicit paths to theindex
file.fixExtensionsPlugin
: Appends the correct file extensions to relative import paths.
This plugin ensures correct file extensions, resolves path aliases, and fixes directory imports in your build output when using tsup
with bundle: false
.
Install the package via npm:
npm install esbuild-fix-imports-plugin
Or using pnpm:
pnpm add esbuild-fix-imports-plugin
Or using Yarn:
yarn add esbuild-fix-imports-plugin
In your tsup.config.ts
or ESBuild configuration file, import the plugin and add it to your esbuildPlugins
array:
// tsup.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from "tsup";
import { fixImportsPlugin } from "esbuild-fix-imports-plugin";
export default defineConfig({
// ... your other configurations
esbuildPlugins: [fixImportsPlugin()],
});
This will apply all three plugins (fixAliasPlugin
, fixFolderImportsPlugin
, and fixExtensionsPlugin
) during the build process.
If you prefer to use the plugins individually, you can import them separately:
import {
fixAliasPlugin,
fixFolderImportsPlugin,
fixExtensionsPlugin,
} from "esbuild-fix-imports-plugin";
export default defineConfig({
// ... your other configurations
esbuildPlugins: [
fixAliasPlugin(),
fixFolderImportsPlugin(),
fixExtensionsPlugin(),
],
});
Description: Resolves path aliases defined in your tsconfig.json
file and replaces them with relative paths in the output files.
Use Case: When using path aliases in TypeScript, the compiled JavaScript files may contain unresolved import paths. This plugin fixes that by converting aliases to relative paths.
Requirements:
- Ensure your
tsconfig.json
includes thepaths
configuration. - Provide the path to
tsconfig.json
in yourtsup
or ESBuild configuration.
Example tsconfig.json
:
{
"compilerOptions": {
"baseUrl": ".",
"paths": {
"@utils/*": ["src/utils/*"],
"@components/*": ["src/components/*"]
}
// ... other options
}
}
Description: Replaces import paths pointing to directories with explicit paths to the index
file.
Use Case: Some module resolvers do not automatically resolve imports to index
files within directories. This plugin ensures that imports like import { myFunction } from './utils';
are transformed to import { myFunction } from './utils/index';
.
Description: Appends the correct file extensions (.js
, .mjs
, .cjs
) to relative import paths in the output files.
Use Case: In environments that require explicit file extensions in import statements, this plugin ensures that all relative imports have the correct extensions, preventing runtime errors.
Here's a full example of how to configure tsup
with this plugin:
// tsup.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from "tsup";
import { fixImportsPlugin } from "esbuild-fix-imports-plugin";
export default defineConfig([
{
entry: ["src/**/*"],
target: "esnext",
dts: true,
external: ["fs", "path"],
clean: true,
sourcemap: true,
bundle: false, // Important: set to false
tsconfig: "./tsconfig.json",
format: ["cjs"],
outDir: "dist/cjs",
outExtension: () => ({ js: ".cjs" }),
esbuildPlugins: [fixImportsPlugin()],
},
{
entry: ["src/**/*"],
target: "esnext",
dts: true,
external: ["fs", "path"],
clean: true,
sourcemap: true,
bundle: false, // Important: set to false
tsconfig: "./tsconfig.json",
format: ["esm"],
outDir: "dist/esm",
outExtension: () => ({ js: ".mjs" }),
esbuildPlugins: [fixImportsPlugin()],
},
]);
Explanation:
bundle: false

not to bundle the modules, which can lead to issues with import paths. This plugin helps resolve those issues.esbuildPlugins: [fixImportsPlugin()]
: Applies the combined plugin to fix import paths during the build process.

When using tsup
with bundle: false
, you might encounter issues with import paths in the output files, such as missing file extensions, unresolved path aliases, or imports pointing to directories without explicit index
files. This plugin automates the process of fixing these issues during the build.
Yes, you can use the plugins directly with ESBuild by adding them to the plugins
array in your ESBuild configuration.
import esbuild from "esbuild";
import { fixImportsPlugin } from "esbuild-fix-imports-plugin";
esbuild.build({
entryPoints: ["src/index.ts"],
bundle: false,
plugins: [fixImportsPlugin()],
// ... other configurations
});
Not necessarily. If you only need to fix specific issues, you can import and apply the individual plugins:
import {
fixAliasPlugin,
fixExtensionsPlugin,
} from "esbuild-fix-imports-plugin";
export default defineConfig({
// ... your other configurations
esbuildPlugins: [fixAliasPlugin(), fixExtensionsPlugin()],
});
Environments that require explicit file extensions in imports or do not automatically resolve directory imports to index
files will benefit from this plugin. This includes some Node.js configurations and bundlers.
Feel free to open an issue if you have more questions or need assistance.
