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 elementsThe
}
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?
