Internal plugins
This is a list of plugins used internally by Rspack, aligned with the plugins used internally by webpack.
You should only concern yourself with these plugins if you are building your own compiler based on Rspack, or for internal inspection.
Categories of internal plugins:
environment
Plugins affecting the environment of the compiler.
ElectronTargetPlugin
electron.ElectronTargetPlugin(context)
Customizes the handling of external dependencies for different contexts (such as main process, preload scripts, and renderer process) in Electron applications.
externalsPresets.electron, externalsPresets.electronMain, externalsPresets.electronRenderer, and externalsPresets.electronPreload all rely on this plugin.
NodeEnvironmentPlugin
node.NodeEnvironmentPlugin()
Applies Node.js style filesystem to the compiler.
compiler
Plugins affecting the compiler.
ProgressPlugin
ProgressPlugin(handler)
Hook into the compiler to extract progress information. The handler must have the signature function(percentage, message). Percentage is called with a value between 0 and 1, where 0 indicates the start and 1 the end.
entry
Plugins, which add entry chunks to the compilation.
DynamicEntryPlugin
DynamicEntryPlugin(context, entry)
Similar to EntryPlugin but accepts a function as the entry argument. This function is called during each make event in the build process to support dynamically determining the entry points.
EntryOptionPlugin
EntryOptionPlugin()
output
EvalDevToolModulePlugin
EvalDevToolModulePlugin(options)
Decorates the module template by wrapping each module in a eval annotated with // @sourceURL.
WebWorkerTemplatePlugin
webworker.WebWorkerTemplatePlugin(options)
Chunks are loaded by importScripts.
options are the output options.
FetchCompileAsyncWasmPlugin
This plugin is used to provide runtime code for WASM bundling and is often used together with a child compiler.
web.FetchCompileAsyncWasmPlugin()
source
Plugins affecting the source code of modules.
ProvidePlugin
ProvidePlugin(name, request)
If name is used in a module it is filled by a module loaded by require(<request>).
NodeTargetPlugin
node.NodeTargetPlugin()
The plugins should be used if you run the bundle in a Node.js environment.
If ensures that native modules are loaded correctly even if bundled.
optimize
Note that all plugins under rspack.optimize namespace should only be used when mode set to 'none'. Otherwise you might get into trouble where plugins are applied twice.
LimitChunkCountPlugin
optimize.LimitChunkCountPlugin(options)
Merge chunks limit chunk count is lower than options.maxChunks.
The overhead for each chunks is provided by options.chunkOverhead or defaults to 10000. Entry chunks sizes are multiplied by options.entryChunkMultiplicator (or 10).
Chunks that reduce the total size the most are merged first. If multiple combinations are equal the minimal merged size wins.
loader
LoaderOptionsPlugin
LoaderOptionsPlugin(options)
LoaderTargetPlugin
LoaderTargetPlugin(target)
module federation
Internal plugins used with Module Federation, which are the basis of the ModuleFederationPlugin.
ContainerPlugin
container.ContainerPlugin(options)
ContainerReferencePlugin
container.ContainerReferencePlugin(options)
ConsumeSharedPlugin
sharing.ConsumeSharedPlugin(options)
ProvideSharedPlugin
sharing.ProvideSharedPlugin(options)
SharePlugin
sharing.SharePlugin(options)
