  • Ignore invalid @import rules in CSS (#1946)

    In CSS, @import rules must come first before any other kind of rule (except for @charset rules). Previously esbuild would warn about incorrectly ordered @import rules and then hoist them to the top of the file. This broke people who wrote invalid @import rules in the middle of their files and then relied on them being ignored. With this release, esbuild will now ignore invalid @import rules and pass them through unmodified. This more accurately follows the CSS specification. Note that this behavior differs from other tools like Parcel, which does hoist CSS @import rules.

  • Print invalid CSS differently (#1947)

    This changes how esbuild prints nested @import statements that are missing a trailing ;, which is invalid CSS. The result is still partially invalid CSS, but now printed in a better-looking way:

    /* Original code */
    .bad { @import url("other") }
    .red { background: red; }
    
    /* Old output (with --minify) */
    .bad{@import url(other) } .red{background: red;}}
    
    /* New output (with --minify) */
    .bad{@import url(other);}.red{background:red}
  • Warn about CSS nesting syntax (#1945)

    There's a proposed CSS syntax for nesting rules using the & selector, but it's not currently implemented in any browser. Previously esbuild silently passed the syntax through untransformed. With this release, esbuild will now warn when you use nesting syntax with a --target= setting that includes a browser.

  • Warn about } and > inside JSX elements

    The } and > characters are invalid inside JSX elements according to the JSX specification because they commonly result from typos like these that are hard to catch in code reviews:

    function F() {
      return <div>></div>;
    }
    function G() {
      return <div>{1}}</div>;
    }

    The TypeScript compiler already treats this as an error, so esbuild now treats this as an error in TypeScript files too. That looks like this:

    ✘ [ERROR] The character ">" is not valid inside a JSX element
    
        example.tsx:2:14:
          2 │   return <div>></div>;
            │               ^
            ╵               {'>'}
    
      Did you mean to escape it as "{'>'}" instead?
    
    ✘ [ERROR] The character "}" is not valid inside a JSX element
    
        example.tsx:5:17:
          5 │   return <div>{1}}</div>;
            │                  ^
            ╵                  {'}'}
    
      Did you mean to escape it as "{'}'}" instead?
    

    Babel doesn't yet treat this as an error, so esbuild only warns about these characters in JavaScript files for now. Babel 8 treats this as an error but Babel 8 hasn't been released yet. If you see this warning, I recommend fixing the invalid JSX syntax because it will become an error in the future.

  • Warn about basic CSS property typos

    This release now generates a warning if you use a CSS property that is one character off from a known CSS property:

    ▲ [WARNING] "marign-left" is not a known CSS property
    
        example.css:2:2:
          2 │   marign-left: 12px;
            │   ~~~~~~~~~~~
            ╵   margin-left
    
      Did you mean "margin-left" instead?
