Selecting the version

Currently, the Wasm plugins are not backwards compatible. So you need to select an appropriate version of swc_core for your plugin.

We provide a simple webapp to help you select the version of swc_core.

See: https://plugins.swc.rs 

You can select the framework and the version of framework you are using, and the Wasm plugins compatible with it will be shown.

OLD Documentation for the version of swc_core

Please use the webapp instead.

The page documents the version of swc_core you can use for each runtime.

Note for next.js

• next v13.2.4 ~ v13.3.1 cannot execute SWC Wasm plugins, due to a bug of next-swc.

swc_core

If you use a version in a range of the title, the Wasm plugin will work for the runtimes written in the body.

v0.98.x ~

Changes

• Span.ctxt is removed to reduce the size of Span.
• ctxt: SyntaxContext is added to various AST nodes.
• IdentName is used instead of Ident in some places like MemberProp, because those fields does not need ctxt or optional.
