This is the “core” module, and is used internally by build_bazel_rules_nodejs. Most users should continue to use only the latter, and ignore this “core” module.
The dependency graph is: build_bazel_rules_nodejs -> rules_nodejs -> bazel_skylib
Features:
Most features, such as npm_install and nodejs_binary are still in the build_bazel_rules_nodejs module. We plan to clean these up and port into rules_nodejs in a future major release.
USAGE
To be run in user's WORKSPACE to install rules_nodejs dependencies.
This rule sets up node, npm, and npx. The versions of these tools can be specified in one of three ways
Specify no explicit versions. This will download and use the latest NodeJS that was available when the version of rules_nodejs you‘re using was released. Note that you can skip calling node_repositories in your WORKSPACE file - if you later try to yarn_install or npm_install, we’ll automatically select this simple usage for you.
You can select the version of NodeJS to download & use by specifying it when you call node_repositories, using a value that matches a known version (see the default values)
You can pass in a custom list of NodeJS repositories and URLs for node_repositories to use.
To specify custom NodeJS versions, use the node_repositories attribute
node_repositories( node_repositories = { "10.10.0-darwin_amd64": ("node-v10.10.0-darwin-x64.tar.gz", "node-v10.10.0-darwin-x64", "00b7a8426e076e9bf9d12ba2d571312e833fe962c70afafd10ad3682fdeeaa5e"), "10.10.0-linux_amd64": ("node-v10.10.0-linux-x64.tar.xz", "node-v10.10.0-linux-x64", "686d2c7b7698097e67bcd68edc3d6b5d28d81f62436c7cf9e7779d134ec262a9"), "10.10.0-windows_amd64": ("node-v10.10.0-win-x64.zip", "node-v10.10.0-win-x64", "70c46e6451798be9d052b700ce5dadccb75cf917f6bf0d6ed54344c856830cfb"), }, )
These can be mapped to a custom download URL, using node_urls
node_repositories( node_version = "10.10.0", node_repositories = {"10.10.0-darwin_amd64": ("node-v10.10.0-darwin-x64.tar.gz", "node-v10.10.0-darwin-x64", "00b7a8426e076e9bf9d12ba2d571312e833fe962c70afafd10ad3682fdeeaa5e")}, node_urls = ["https://mycorpproxy/mirror/node/v{version}/{filename}"], )
A Mac client will try to download node from https://mycorpproxy/mirror/node/v10.10.0/node-v10.10.0-darwin-x64.tar.gz and expect that file to have sha256sum 00b7a8426e076e9bf9d12ba2d571312e833fe962c70afafd10ad3682fdeeaa5e
See the the repositories documentation for how to use the resulting repositories.
To avoid downloads, you can check in a vendored node.js binary or can build one from source. See toolchains and examples/vendored_node_and_yarn.
ATTRIBUTES
(Name, mandatory): A unique name for this repository.
(Dictionary: String -> String): auth to use for all url requests Example: {“type”: “basic”, “login”: “”, “password”: “” }
Defaults to {}
(Dictionary: String -> List of strings): Custom list of node repositories to use
A dictionary mapping NodeJS versions to sets of hosts and their corresponding (filename, strip_prefix, sha256) tuples. You should list a node binary for every platform users have, likely Mac, Windows, and Linux.
By default, if this attribute has no items, we'll use a list of all public NodeJS releases.
Defaults to {}
(List of strings): custom list of URLs to use to download NodeJS
Each entry is a template for downloading a node distribution.
The {version} parameter is substituted with the node_version attribute, and {filename} with the matching entry from the node_repositories attribute.
Defaults to ["https://nodejs.org/dist/v{version}/{filename}"]
(String): the specific version of NodeJS to install
Defaults to "16.19.1"
(String): Internal use only. Which platform to install as a toolchain. If unset, we assume the repository is named nodejs_[platform]
Defaults to ""
(Dictionary: String -> String, mandatory): A dictionary from local repository name to global repository name. This allows controls over workspace dependency resolution for dependencies of this repository.For example, an entry "@foo": "@bar" declares that, for any time this repository depends on @foo (such as a dependency on @foo//some:target, it should actually resolve that dependency within globally-declared @bar (@bar//some:target).
(Label): the local path of the .nvmrc file containing the version of node
If set then also set node_version to the version found in the .nvmrc file.
Defaults to None
USAGE
Defines a node toolchain for a platform.
You can use this to refer to a vendored nodejs binary in your repository, or even to compile nodejs from sources using rules_foreign_cc or other rules.
First, in a BUILD.bazel file, create a node_toolchain definition:
load("@rules_nodejs//nodejs:toolchain.bzl", "node_toolchain") node_toolchain( name = "node_toolchain", target_tool = "//some/path/bin/node", )
Next, declare which execution platforms or target platforms the toolchain should be selected for based on constraints.
toolchain( name = "my_nodejs", exec_compatible_with = [ "@platforms//os:linux", "@platforms//cpu:x86_64", ], toolchain = ":node_toolchain", toolchain_type = "@rules_nodejs//nodejs:toolchain_type", )
See https://bazel.build/extending/toolchains#toolchain-resolution for more information on toolchain resolution.
Finally in your WORKSPACE, register it with register_toolchains("//:my_nodejs")
For usage see https://docs.bazel.build/versions/main/toolchains.html#defining-toolchains. You can use the --toolchain_resolution_debug flag to bazel to help diagnose which toolchain is selected.
ATTRIBUTES
(Name, mandatory): A unique name for this target.
(Label): A hermetically downloaded npm executable target for this target's platform.
Defaults to None
(List of labels): Files required in runfiles to run npm.
Defaults to []
(String): Path to an existing npm executable for this target's platform.
Defaults to ""
(Label): A template file that allows us to execute npm
Defaults to None
(Label): A hermetically downloaded nodejs executable target for this target's platform.
Defaults to None
(String): Path to an existing nodejs executable for this target's platform.
Defaults to ""
USAGE
Repository rule to fetch the yarnpkg.com package manager.
Note, the recommended name is “yarn”. If you choose a different name, you'll have to override the yarn attribute in your yarn_install rule to point to your yarn.js file.
To specify custom Yarn versions, use the yarn_releases attribute
yarn_repositories( yarn_releases = { "1.12.1": ("yarn-v1.12.1.tar.gz", "yarn-v1.12.1", "09bea8f4ec41e9079fa03093d3b2db7ac5c5331852236d63815f8df42b3ba88d"), }, )
Like node_urls, the yarn_urls attribute can be used to provide a list of custom URLs to use to download yarn
yarn_repositories( yarn_releases = { "1.12.1": ("yarn-v1.12.1.tar.gz", "yarn-v1.12.1", "09bea8f4ec41e9079fa03093d3b2db7ac5c5331852236d63815f8df42b3ba88d"), }, yarn_version = "1.12.1", yarn_urls = [ "https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/releases/download/v{version}/{filename}", ], )
Will download yarn from https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/releases/download/v1.2.1/yarn-v1.12.1.tar.gz and expect the file to have sha256sum 09bea8f4ec41e9079fa03093d3b2db7ac5c5331852236d63815f8df42b3ba88d.
If you don't use Yarn at all, you can skip downloading it by setting yarn_urls = [].
You can vendor the yarn.js file into your repo. In this case, don't call yarn_repositories at all. Just pass the label of your vendored file to the yarn attribute of yarn_install.
ATTRIBUTES
(Name, mandatory): A unique name for this repository.
(String): The basename for a nodejs toolchain to use for running yarn. Usually this is the value of the name attribute given to a nodejs_register_toolchains call in WORKSPACE
Defaults to "nodejs"
(Dictionary: String -> String, mandatory): A dictionary from local repository name to global repository name. This allows controls over workspace dependency resolution for dependencies of this repository.For example, an entry "@foo": "@bar" declares that, for any time this repository depends on @foo (such as a dependency on @foo//some:target, it should actually resolve that dependency within globally-declared @bar (@bar//some:target).
(Dictionary: String -> String): auth to use for all url requests Example: {“type”: “basic”, “login”: “”, “password”: “” }
Defaults to {}
(Dictionary: String -> List of strings): Custom list of yarn releases to use.
Dictionary mapping Yarn versions to their corresponding (filename, strip_prefix, sha256) tuples. By default, if this attribute has no items, we'll use a list of all public releases which is periodically mirrored to rules_nodejs.
Defaults to {}
(List of strings): custom list of URLs to use to download Yarn
Each entry is a template using `yarn_version` and `yarn_releases` in the substitutions. If this list is empty, we won't download yarn at all.
Defaults to ["https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/releases/download/v{version}/{filename}"]
(String): the specific version of Yarn to install
Defaults to "1.22.11"
