notetiene / rollup-stream

a wrapper around Rollup that returns a stream instead of a Promise

rollup-stream

This is a simple wrapper around Rollup that returns a readable stream instead of a Promise, like Browserify's bundle() method. It's designed to make using Rollup with gulp easier, but if you find another use for it, go ahead!

The options object is passed to Rollup's rollup() and generate() methods. This currently works because there's no overlap between the names of the options those methods take. Hopefully that won't change any time soon!

Installation

npm install --save-dev rollup-stream

Basic usage

var gulp = require('gulp'),
    rollup = require('rollup-stream'),
    source = require('vinyl-source-stream');

gulp.task('rollup', function() {
  return rollup({
      entry: './src/main.js'
    })
    
    // give the file the name you want to output with.
    .pipe(source('app.js'))
    
    // and output to ./dist/app.js as normal.
    .pipe(gulp.dest('./dist'));
});

Usage with sourcemaps

var gulp = require('gulp'),
    rollup = require('rollup-stream'),
    sourcemaps = require('gulp-sourcemaps'),
//  rename = require('gulp-rename'),
    source = require('vinyl-source-stream'),
    buffer = require('vinyl-buffer');

gulp.task('rollup', function() {
  return rollup({
      entry: './src/main.js',
      sourceMap: true
    })
    
    // point to the entry file.
    .pipe(source('main.js', './src'))
    
    // buffer the output. most gulp plugins, including gulp-sourcemaps, don't support streams.
    .pipe(buffer())
    
    // tell gulp-sourcemaps to load the inline sourcemap produced by rollup-stream.
    .pipe(sourcemaps.init({loadMaps: true}))
        
        // transform the code further here.
        
    // if you want to output with a different name from the input file, use gulp-rename here.
//  .pipe(rename('index.js'))
    
    // write the sourcemap alongside the output file.
    .pipe(sourcemaps.write('.'))
    
    // and output to ./dist/main.js as normal.
    .pipe(gulp.dest('./dist'));
});

Usage with caching

var gulp = require('gulp'),
    rollup = require('rollup-stream'),
    source = require('vinyl-source-stream');

var cache;
gulp.task('rollup', function() {
  return rollup({
      entry: './src/main.js',
      cache: cache
    })
    
    .on('bundle', function(bundle) {
      cache = bundle;
    })
    
    // after listening for the 'bundle' event, proceed as usual.
    .pipe(source('app.js'))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('./dist'));
});

gulp.task('watch', function() {
  gulp.watch('./src/**/*.js', ['rollup']);
});

Usage with newer, older, or custom Rollup

var gulp = require('gulp'),
    rollup = require('rollup-stream'),
    source = require('vinyl-source-stream');

gulp.task('rollup', function() {
  return rollup({
      entry: './src/main.js',
      rollup: require('rollup')
    })
    
    // after passing options.rollup, proceed as usual.
    .pipe(source('app.js'))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('./dist'));
});

Usage with Rollup config file

var gulp = require('gulp'),
    rollup = require('rollup-stream'),
    source = require('vinyl-source-stream');

gulp.task('rollup', function() {
  return rollup('rollup.config.js')
    .pipe(source('app.js'))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('./dist'));
});
