@rspack/plugin-preact-refresh

Preact refresh plugin for Rspack.

Installation

First you need to install the dependencies:

npm add @rspack/plugin-preact-refresh @prefresh/core @prefresh/utils -D
# or
yarn add @rspack/plugin-preact-refresh @prefresh/core @prefresh/utils -D
# or
pnpm add @rspack/plugin-preact-refresh @prefresh/core @prefresh/utils -D
# or
bun add @rspack/plugin-preact-refresh @prefresh/core @prefresh/utils -D

Usage

The enabling of the Preact Refresh is divided into two parts: code injection and code transformation

• Code injection: injects code that interacts with @prefresh/core and @prefresh/utils, this is what this plugin does.
• Code transformation requires a loader
  • Use builtin:swc-loader or swc-loader
    • Enable jsc.transform.react.refresh to support common react transformation
    • Add @swc/plugin-prefresh into jsc.experimental.plugins to support the specific transformation of preact
  • Use babel-loader and add official babel plugin of prefresh.

In versions below 1.0.0, Rspack did not support preact refresh with swc-loader.

Please use builtin:swc-loader and enable preact specific transformation with rspackExperiments.preact: {}

const PreactRefreshPlugin = require('@rspack/plugin-preact-refresh');
const isDev = process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development';

module.exports = {
  // ...
  mode: isDev ? 'development' : 'production',
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.jsx$/,
        use: {
          loader: 'builtin:swc-loader',
          options: {
            jsc: {
              experimental: {
                plugins: [
                  [
                    '@swc/plugin-prefresh', // enable prefresh specific transformation
                    {
                      library: ['preact-like-framework'], // the customizable preact name, default is `["preact", "preact/compat", "react"]`
                    },
                  ],
                ],
              },
              parser: {
                syntax: 'ecmascript',
                jsx: true,
              },
              transform: {
                react: {
                  development: isDev,
                  refresh: isDev, // enable common react transformation
                },
              },
            },
          },
        },
      },
    ],
  },
  plugins: [isDev && new PreactRefreshPlugin()].filter(Boolean),
};
