Currently, esbuild uses the lowest common ancestor of the entrypoints to determine where to place each entrypoint's output file. This is an excellent default, but is not ideal in some situations. Take for example an app with a folder structure similar to Next.js, with js files at
pages/a/b/c.js
andpages/a/b/d.js
. These two files correspond to the paths/a/b/c
and/a/b/d
. Ideally, esbuild would emitout/a/b/c.js
andout/a/b/d.js
. However, esbuild identifiespages/a/b
as the lowest common ancestor and emitsout/c.js
andout/d.js
. This PR introduces a--outbase
argument to the cli that allows the user to choose which path to base entrypoint output paths on. With this change, running esbuild with--outbase=pages
results in the desired behavior.
