Source Code Transformations
If a plugin transforms source code, it should generate a sourcemap automatically, unless there's a specific sourceMap: false option. Rolldown only cares about the mappings property (everything else is handled automatically). magic-string provides a simple way to generate such a map for elementary transformations like adding or removing code snippets.
If it doesn't make sense to generate a sourcemap, return an empty sourcemap:
js
return {
code: transformedCode,
map: { mappings: '' },
};If the transformation does not move code, you can preserve existing sourcemaps by returning null:
js
return {
code: transformedCode,
map: null,
};
