Vite 8 build.lib external output.globals UMD rolldownOptions official documentation

💡 Result:

In Vite 8, the underlying bundler has transitioned from Rollup to Rolldown [1][2]. Consequently, configuration options previously under build.rollupOptions have been migrated to build.rolldownOptions [3][4]. For building libraries with UMD support in Vite 8, you must configure your external dependencies and their corresponding global variable mappings within the build.rolldownOptions object [1]. Configuration Approach: 1. External Dependencies: Use build.rolldownOptions.external to specify dependencies that should not be bundled (e.g., peer dependencies) [1][5]. 2. Global Variable Mapping: For UMD/IIFE formats, the output.globals option is used to map these external module identifiers to their corresponding global variable names (e.g., 'react' maps to 'React') [6][1]. 3. Rolldown-Specific Handling: Because Rolldown treats external require() calls differently than Rollup, you may need to use the esmExternalRequirePlugin (imported from vite) in your plugins array if your project relies on externalizing modules that are dynamically required [1]. Example Configuration (vite.config.js): import { defineConfig, esmExternalRequirePlugin } from 'vite'; export default defineConfig({ plugins: [ esmExternalRequirePlugin({ external: ['react', 'react-dom'], }), ], build: { lib: { entry: 'src/main.js', name: 'MyLib', // Required for UMD formats: ['es', 'umd'], }, rolldownOptions: { external: ['react', 'react-dom'], output: { globals: { react: 'React', 'react-dom': 'ReactDOM', }, }, }, }, }); Note that while build.rollupOptions is currently supported as a deprecated alias for backward compatibility, it is recommended to transition to build.rolldownOptions [1][3][4]. Additionally, the globals configuration only applies to umd and iife output formats and will be ignored for es or cjs builds [7][1]. Ensure you also include any necessary sub-path imports (like react/jsx-runtime) in both your external list and globals map if your build process utilizes them [1].

React 19 UMD builds react/jsx-runtime ReactJSXRuntime global official

💡 Result:

React 19 does not provide official UMD builds, including UMD builds for react/jsx-runtime [1][2][3]. As part of the release, the React team officially removed UMD support to reduce build complexity and encourage the use of modern ESM-based alternatives [1][2][4]. Because there is no official UMD build, there is no official global variable for the JSX runtime (such as ReactJSXRuntime) in React 19 [1][2]. If you require UMD-like behavior for loading React 19 via script tags, the official recommendation is to use an ESM-based CDN such as esm.sh, which allows you to import React as an ESM module directly in the browser [1][3]: <script type="module"> import React from "https://esm.sh/react@19/?dev"; import ReactDOMClient from "https://esm.sh/react-dom@19/client?dev"; //... </script> While third-party community projects (such as umd-react [5] or react-umd [6]) exist to provide UMD bundles for React 19, these are not maintained or supported by the official React team [5][6][7]. Furthermore, note that React 19 also removed the global JSX namespace (previously accessible as JSX.Element) [8][9]. In React 19, you should instead access JSX types via the React namespace, such as React.JSX.Element, to ensure compatibility [8][10][9].

Remove UMD output or provide a React-19-compatible runtime.

The TSX entry uses react/jsx-runtime, and the package publishes dist/index.umd.cjs while supporting React 19. React 19 provides no official UMD JSX-runtime global, so adding a ReactJSXRuntime mapping is not sufficient. Remove UMD from build.lib.formats and update the package entry points, or bundle and test a compatible runtime.

In `@packages/react/vite.config.ts` at line 14, Update the Vite library
configuration around the build.lib formats and package entry points to remove
the UMD output, or bundle and verify a React 19-compatible JSX runtime instead;
do not rely on a ReactJSXRuntime external mapping alone. Ensure published
exports no longer reference dist/index.umd.cjs if UMD is removed.
