Usage

In most cases, just use the string format as a plugin option.

Basic usage

Add it to vite.config.ts

// vite.config.ts
import banner from 'vite-plugin-banner'
// Other dependencies...

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [banner('This is the banner content.')],
})

When you run npm run build on your project, In the dist folder(Or the build.outDir in vite.config.ts you configured), Except for vendor files, all js and css files will add a banner to the top.

e.g. in app.b3a7772e.js:

/* This is the banner content. */
var e=Object.assign;import{M as t,d as a,u as r,c......

Advanced usage

Of course, the most ideal banner is related to your package information.

First, You need to update your package.json like this, For example, it contains such field content:

{
  "name": "chengpeiquan.com",
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "description": "My personal website, technology stack based on Vue.js 3.0, and Vite 2.0, use Server Side Generation.",
  "author": "chengpeiquan",
  "homepage": "https://chengpeiquan.com/"
}

Then, import the package.json into vite.config.ts, update the banner like this:

// vite.config.ts
import pkg from './package.json'
// Other dependencies...

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    banner(
      `/**\n * name: ${pkg.name}\n * version: v${pkg.version}\n * description: ${pkg.description}\n * author: ${pkg.author}\n * homepage: ${pkg.homepage}\n */`,
    ),
  ],
})

Run npm run build, you can see the banner become more detailed.

e.g. in app.6936be52.js:

/**
 * name: chengpeiquan.com
 * version: v0.1.0
 * description: My personal website, technology stack based on Vue.js 3.0, and Vite 2.0, use Server Side Generation.
 * author: chengpeiquan
 * homepage: https://chengpeiquan.com/
 */
var e=Object.assign;import{M as t,d as a,u as r,c......

Fun usage

If you want to make some banners that show your personality, you can make some interesting content from some online generators.

Such as:

• http://www.network-science.de/ascii/

• https://www.bootschool.net/ascii

// vite.config.ts
export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    banner(`
    ██   ██         ███████   ██      ██ ████████   ██    ██   ███████   ██     ██
    ░██  ░██        ██░░░░░██ ░██     ░██░██░░░░░   ░░██  ██   ██░░░░░██ ░██    ░██
    ░██  ░██       ██     ░░██░██     ░██░██         ░░████   ██     ░░██░██    ░██
    ░██  ░██      ░██      ░██░░██    ██ ░███████     ░░██   ░██      ░██░██    ░██
    ░██  ░██      ░██      ░██ ░░██  ██  ░██░░░░       ░██   ░██      ░██░██    ░██
    ░██  ░██      ░░██     ██   ░░████   ░██           ░██   ░░██     ██ ░██    ░██
    ░██  ░████████ ░░███████     ░░██    ░████████     ░██    ░░███████  ░░███████ 
    ░░   ░░░░░░░░   ░░░░░░░       ░░     ░░░░░░░░      ░░      ░░░░░░░    ░░░░░░░  
    `),
  ],
})

Run npm run build, e.g. in app.d9a287b8.js:

/*
    ██   ██         ███████   ██      ██ ████████   ██    ██   ███████   ██     ██
    ░██  ░██        ██░░░░░██ ░██     ░██░██░░░░░   ░░██  ██   ██░░░░░██ ░██    ░██
    ░██  ░██       ██     ░░██░██     ░██░██         ░░████   ██     ░░██░██    ░██
    ░██  ░██      ░██      ░██░░██    ██ ░███████     ░░██   ░██      ░██░██    ░██
    ░██  ░██      ░██      ░██ ░░██  ██  ░██░░░░       ░██   ░██      ░██░██    ░██
    ░██  ░██      ░░██     ██   ░░████   ░██           ░██   ░░██     ██ ░██    ░██
    ░██  ░████████ ░░███████     ░░██    ░████████     ░██    ░░███████  ░░███████
    ░░   ░░░░░░░░   ░░░░░░░       ░░     ░░░░░░░░      ░░      ░░░░░░░    ░░░░░░░
     */
var e=Object.assign;import{M as t,d as a,u as r,c......

Add different banners

Since 0.6.0, it supports incoming function callback to set the content of Banner. When using ContentCallback type, this plugin will judge what content should be added according to the internal logic of the function.

1. When a valid string is returned, it will become the banner content
2. Returning a Falsy value will skip processing(e.g. '', null, undefined)

e.g.

// vite.config.ts
import banner from 'vite-plugin-banner'
// Other dependencies...

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    banner((fileName: string) => {
      // Or use switch statement
      return fileName.endsWith('.js')
        ? 'This message will inject into `js` files.'
        : 'This message will inject into other files.'
    }),
  ],
})

Optional parameter format

Sometimes plugins can't get outDir successfully (for example, in VitePress, the plugin get through viteConfig.build.outDir is always a .temp temporary directory, not the final output directory), so you need to manually specify the output directory to inform the plugin.

Take VitePress as an example:

// docs/.vitepress/config.ts
import { defineConfig } from 'vitepress'
import banner from 'vite-plugin-banner'
import pkg from '../../package.json'

const outDir = '../dist'

export default defineConfig({
  // Specify the output directory for packaging
  outDir,

  // Use Vite plugins
  vite: {
    plugins: [
      // Please remember to use the options in Object format here
      banner({
        outDir,
        content: `/**\n * name: ${pkg.name}\n * version: v${pkg.version}\n * description: ${pkg.description}\n * author: ${pkg.author}\n * homepage: ${pkg.homepage}\n */`,
      }),
    ],
  },
  // ...
})

In addition to outDir, you can also use debug, verify and other options, see the above Options description for details.
