Bundler

A plugin type: Turns an asset graph into a bundle graph

The Bundler API is experimental and therefore subject to change, even between minor updates.

Bundlers accept the entire asset graph and modify it to add bundle nodes that group the assets into output bundles.

import { Bundler } from "@parcel/plugin";

export default new Bundler({
  async bundle({ graph }) {
    // ...
  },

  async optimize({ graph }) {
    // ...
  },
});

  stop(): void,

Stop the traversal

|}

GraphVisitor parcel/packages/core/types/index.js:1068

Essentially GraphTraversalCallback, but allows adding specific node enter and exit callbacks.

Type

  enter?: GraphTraversalCallback<TNode, TContext>,
  exit?: GraphTraversalCallback<TNode, TContext>,

GraphTraversalCallback parcel/packages/core/types/index.js:1081

A generic callback for graph traversals

Parameter Descriptions
  • context: The parent node's return value is passed as a parameter to the children's callback. This can be used to forward information from the parent to children in a DFS (unlike a global variable).

Type
type GraphTraversalCallback<TNode, TContext> = (node: TNode, context: ?TContext, actions: TraversalActions) => ?TContext;

Bundle parcel/packages/core/types/index.js:1197

A Bundle (a collection of assets) 

interface Bundle {
  +id: string,

The bundle id.

  +type: string,

The type of the bundle.

  +env: Environment,

The environment of the bundle.

  +target: Target,

The bundle's target.

  +needsStableName: ?boolean,

Assets that run when the bundle is loaded (e.g. runtimes could be added). VERIFY

  +bundleBehavior: ?BundleBehavior,

Controls the behavior of the bundle. to determine when the bundle is loaded.

  • inline: Inline bundles are not written to a separate file, but embedded into the parent bundle.
  • isolated: The bundle will be isolated from its parents. Shared assets will be duplicated.
  +isSplittable: ?boolean,

Whether the bundle can be split. If false, then all dependencies of the bundle will be kept internal to the bundle, rather than referring to other bundles. This may result in assets being duplicated between multiple bundles, but can be useful for things like server side rendering.

  +hashReference: string,

A placeholder for the bundle's content hash that can be used in the bundle's name or the contents of another bundle. Hash references are replaced with a content hash of the bundle after packaging and optimizing.

  getEntryAssets(): Array<Asset>,

Returns the assets that are executed immediately when the bundle is loaded. Some bundles may not have any entry assets, for example, shared bundles.

  getMainEntry(): ?Asset,

Returns the main entry of the bundle, which will provide the bundle's exports. Some bundles do not have a main entry, for example, shared bundles.

  hasAsset(Asset): boolean,

Returns whether the bundle includes the given asset.

  hasDependency(Dependency): boolean,

Returns whether the bundle includes the given dependency.

  traverseAssets<TContext>(visit: GraphVisitor<Asset, TContext>): ?TContext,

Traverses the assets in the bundle.

  traverse<TContext>(visit: GraphVisitor<BundleTraversable, TContext>): ?TContext,

Traverses assets and dependencies in the bundle.

NamedBundle parcel/packages/core/types/index.js:1257

A Bundle that got named by a Namer

interface NamedBundle extends Bundle {
  +publicId: string,

A shortened version of the bundle id that is used to refer to the bundle at runtime.

  +name: string,

The bundle's name. This is a file path relative to the bundle's target directory. The bundle name may include a hash reference, but not the final content hash.

  +displayName: string,

A version of the bundle's name with hash references removed for display.

The target of the bundle group.

  +entryAssetId: string,
