pradel/esbuild-node-externals

esbuild‑node‑externals is an esbuild plugin that automatically marks Node.js dependencies (including dependencies, devDependencies, peerDependencies, optionalDependencies, or workspace packages) as external, preventing them from being bundled into backend builds. It scans one or more package.json files and lets you fine‑tune which modules to include or force‑external via allow/deny lists. The tool is aimed at Node developers who use esbuild for server‑side bundling and want a simple way to keep node_modules out of the final bundle.
