marijanp / browser-injection Goto Github PK

I've created the following minimal example which you can refer to to understand what my issue is: https://github.com/marijanp/browser-injection

In my project I'm using a transitive dependency which requires path equivalent to this projects main.js, this means that I don't have access to this package and I can't refactor it. And there is not just one of those dependencies rather many, so refactoring is also not feasible.

The build phase in my project looks similar to what happens in packages.x86_64-linux.inject-browser in the flake.nix. I export the node_modules which I get using npmlock2nix and I call esbuild.

You can run nix build .#inject-browser to see the error message that is thrown, that it doesn't know about the dependency and whether I want to use node.

And obviously if I add --platform=node the esbuild call in the flake.nix the build succeeds. But I actually want to build for the browser, not for node. How do I achieve this?

Together with @toastal I wrote the esbuild builder (see flake.nix) which calls the esbuild javascript API with a plugin from node-stdlib-browser, which in turn takes care of replacing node dependencies with the respective browser implementation.
