| # @rollup/plugin-json | |
| 🍣 A Rollup plugin which Converts .json files to ES6 modules. | |
| ## Requirements | |
| This plugin requires an [LTS](https://github.com/nodejs/Release) Node version (v14.0.0+) and Rollup v1.20.0+. | |
| ## Install | |
| Using npm: | |
| ```console | |
| npm install @rollup/plugin-json --save-dev | |
| ``` | |
| ## Usage | |
| Create a `rollup.config.js` [configuration file](https://www.rollupjs.org/guide/en/#configuration-files) and import the plugin: | |
| ```js | |
| import json from '@rollup/plugin-json'; | |
| export default { | |
| input: 'src/index.js', | |
| output: { | |
| dir: 'output', | |
| format: 'cjs' | |
| }, | |
| plugins: [json()] | |
| }; | |
| ``` | |
| Then call `rollup` either via the [CLI](https://www.rollupjs.org/guide/en/#command-line-reference) or the [API](https://www.rollupjs.org/guide/en/#javascript-api). | |
| With an accompanying file `src/index.js`, the local `package.json` file would now be importable as seen below: | |
| ```js | |
| // src/index.js | |
| import { readFileSync } from 'fs'; | |
| const pkg = JSON.parse(readFileSync(new URL('./package.json', import.meta.url), 'utf8')); | |
| console.log(`running version ${pkg.version}`); | |
| ``` | |
| ## Options | |
| ### `compact` | |
| Type: `Boolean`<br> | |
| Default: `false` | |
| If `true`, instructs the plugin to ignore `indent` and generates the smallest code. | |
| ### `exclude` | |
| Type: `String` | `Array[...String]`<br> | |
| Default: `null` | |
| A [picomatch pattern](https://github.com/micromatch/picomatch), or array of patterns, which specifies the files in the build the plugin should _ignore_. By default no files are ignored. | |
| ### `include` | |
| Type: `String` | `Array[...String]`<br> | |
| Default: `null` | |
| A [picomatch pattern](https://github.com/micromatch/picomatch), or array of patterns, which specifies the files in the build the plugin should operate on. By default all files are targeted. | |
| ### `includeArbitraryNames` | |
| Type: `Boolean`<br> | |
| Default: `false` | |
| If `true` and `namedExports` is `true`, generates a named export for not a valid identifier properties of the JSON object by leveraging the ["Arbitrary Module Namespace Identifier Names" feature](https://github.com/tc39/ecma262/pull/2154). | |
| ### `indent` | |
| Type: `String`<br> | |
| Default: `'\t'` | |
| Specifies the indentation for the generated default export. | |
| ### `namedExports` | |
| Type: `Boolean`<br> | |
| Default: `true` | |
| If `true`, instructs the plugin to generate a named export for every property of the JSON object. | |
| ### `preferConst` | |
| Type: `Boolean`<br> | |
| Default: `false` | |
| If `true`, instructs the plugin to declare properties as variables, using either `var` or `const`. This pertains to tree-shaking. | |
