Rspack Resolver

[!NOTE]
This is a fork of oxc-resolver, and will be used in Rspack cause 100% compatible with enhanced-resolve is the non-goal of oxc-resolver itself, we may add enhanced-resolve specific features like pnp support and alternative support in the future.

Rust port of [enhanced-resolve].

• built-in [tsconfig-paths-webpack-plugin]
  • support extending tsconfig defined in tsconfig.extends
  • support paths alias defined in tsconfig.compilerOptions.paths
  • support project references defined tsconfig.references
  • support template variable ${configDir} for substitution of config files directory path
• supports in-memory file system via the FileSystem trait
• contains tracing instrumentation

Usage

The following usages apply to both Rust and Node.js; the code snippets are written in JavaScript.

To handle the exports field in package.json, ESM and CJS need to be differentiated.

ESM

Per ESM Resolution algorithm

defaultConditions is the conditional environment name array, ["node", "import"].

This means when the caller is an ESM import (import "module"), resolve options should be

{
  "conditionNames": ["node", "import"]
}

CJS

Per CJS Resolution algorithm

LOAD_PACKAGE_EXPORTS(X, DIR)

5. let MATCH = PACKAGE_EXPORTS_RESOLVE(pathToFileURL(DIR/NAME), "." + SUBPATH, package.json "exports", ["node", "require"]) defined in the ESM resolver.

This means when the caller is a CJS require (require("module")), resolve options should be

{
  "conditionNames": ["node", "require"]
}

Cache

To support both CJS and ESM with the same cache:

const esmResolver = new ResolverFactory({
  conditionNames: ["node", "import"]
});

const cjsResolver = esmResolver.cloneWithOptions({
  conditionNames: ["node", "require"]
});

Browser Field

From this non-standard spec:

The browser field is provided to JavaScript bundlers or component tools when packaging modules for client side use.

The option is

{
  "aliasFields": ["browser"]
}

Main Field

{
  "mainFields": ["module", "main"]
}

Quoting esbuild's documentation:

• main - This is the standard field for all packages that are meant to be used with node. The name main is hard-coded in to node's module resolution logic itself. Because it's intended for use with node, it's reasonable to expect that the file path in this field is a CommonJS-style module.
• module - This field came from a proposal for how to integrate ECMAScript modules into node. Because of this, it's reasonable to expect that the file path in this field is an ECMAScript-style module. This proposal wasn't adopted by node (node uses "type": "module" instead) but it was adopted by major bundlers because ECMAScript-style modules lead to better tree shaking, or dead code removal.
• browser - This field came from a proposal that allows bundlers to replace node-specific files or modules with their browser-friendly versions. It lets you specify an alternate browser-specific entry point. Note that it is possible for a package to use both the browser and module field together (see the note below).

Errors & Trouble Shooting

• Error: Package subpath '.' is not defined by "exports" in - occurs when resolving without conditionNames.

Options

The options are aligned with [enhanced-resolve].
