vite-plugin-prebundle-workers

Bundle classic Vite web workers during development.

Vite will bundle classic web workers at build time but not during development. This can cause some development-only bugs (ex: vitejs/vite#8470) since imports won't be supported during development but will be in production. This is a simple Vite plugin that will force your web workers to be bundled during development too.

🚀 Usage

Install

npm install vite-plugin-prebundle-workers

Add to vite config

// vite.config.js
import { defineConfig } from "vite";
import prebundleWorkers from "vite-plugin-prebundle-workers";

export default defineConfig({
    plugins: [
        prebundleWorkers({
            include: "src/myGreatWorker.ts"
        })
    ],
});

Options are:

include and exclude: Passed to createFilter (docs). One of them must be truthy or an error is thrown.
configureEsBuild: A function that's given the id of the file (usually a file path) and the configuration that would be passed to esbuild.build by default. Should return the configuration to pass to esbuild.build.

Use your Web Worker normally

const worker = new Worker(new URL("./myGreatWorker.ts", import.meta.url));
