For a runnable example of this feature, see [this test and demo repo](https://github.com/bep/hugojsbatchdemo/).
{{% /note %}}
The Batch `ID` is used to create the base directory for this batch. Forward slashes are allowed. `js.Batch` returns an object with an API with this structure:
* [Group]
* [Script]
* [SetOptions]
* [Instance]
* [SetOptions]
* [Runner]
* [SetOptions]
* [Config]
* [SetOptions]
## Group
The `Group` method take an `ID` (`string`) as argument. No slashes. It returns an object with these methods:
#### Script
The `Script` method takes an `ID` (`string`) as argument. No slashes. It returns an [OptionsSetter] that can be used to set [script options] for this script.
```go-html-template
{{ with js.Batch "js/mybatch" }}
{{ with .Group "mygroup" }}
{{ with .Script "myscript" }}
{{ .SetOptions (dict "resource" (resources.Get "myscript.js")) }}
{{ end }}
{{ end }}
{{ end }}
```
`SetOptions` takes a [script options] map. Note that if you want the script to be handled by a [runner], you need to set the `export` option to match what you want to pass on to the runner (default is `*`).
#### Instance
The `Instance` method takes two `string` arguments `SCRIPT_ID` and `INSTANCE_ID`. No slashes. It returns an [OptionsSetter] that can be used to set [params options] for this instance.
```go-html-template
{{ with js.Batch "js/mybatch" }}
{{ with .Group "mygroup" }}
{{ with .Instance "myscript" "myinstance" }}
{{ .SetOptions (dict "params" (dict "param1" "value1")) }}
{{ end }}
{{ end }}
{{ end }}
```
`SetOptions` takes a [params options] map. The instance options will be passed to any [runner] script in the same group, as JSON.
#### Runner
The `Runner` method takes an `ID` (`string`) as argument. No slashes. It returns an [OptionsSetter] that can be used to set [script options] for this runner.
```go-html-template
{{ with js.Batch "js/mybatch" }}
{{ with .Group "mygroup" }}
{{ with .Runner "myrunner" }}
{{ .SetOptions (dict "resource" (resources.Get "myrunner.js")) }}
{{ end }}
{{ end }}
{{ end }}
```
`SetOptions` takes a [script options] map.
The runner will receive a data structure with all instances for that group with a live binding of the [JavaScript import] of the defined `export`.
The runner script's export must be a function that takes one argument, the group data structure. An example of a group data structure as JSON is:
```json
{
"id": "leaflet",
"scripts": [
{
"id": "mapjsx",
"binding": JAVASCRIPT_BINDING,
"instances": [
{
"id": "0",
"params": {
"c": "h-64",
"lat": 48.8533173846729,
"lon": 2.3497416090232535,
"r": "map.jsx",
"title": "Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris",
"zoom": 23
}
},
{
"id": "1",
"params": {
"c": "h-64",
"lat": 59.96300872062237,
"lon": 10.663529183196863,
"r": "map.jsx",
"title": "Holmenkollen",
"zoom": 3
}
}
]
}
]
}
```
Below is an example of a runner script that uses React to render elements. Note that the export (`default`) must match the `export` option in the [script options] (`default` is the default value for runner scripts) (runnable versions of examples on this page can be found at [js.Batch Demo Repo]):
```js
import * as ReactDOM from 'react-dom/client';
import * as React from 'react';
export default function Run(group) {
console.log('Running react-create-elements.js', group);
const scripts = group.scripts;
for (const script of scripts) {
for (const instance of script.instances) {
/* This is a convention in this project. */
let elId = `${script.id}-${instance.id}`;
let el = document.getElementById(elId);
if (!el) {
console.warn(`Element with id ${elId} not found`);
continue;
}
const root = ReactDOM.createRoot(el);
const reactEl = React.createElement(script.binding, instance.params);
root.render(reactEl);
}
}
}
```
#### Config
Returns an [OptionsSetter] that can be used to set [build options] for the batch.
These are mostly the same as for [js.Build], but note that:
* `targetPath` is set automatically (there may be multiple outputs).
* `format` must be `esm`, currently the only format supporting [code splitting].
* `params` will be available in the `@params/config` namespace in the scripts. This way you can import both the [script] or [runner] params and the [config] params with:
```js
import * as params from "@params";
import * as config from "@params/config";
```
Setting the `Config` for a batch can be done from any template (including shortcode templates), but will only be set once (the first will win):
```go-html-template
{{ with js.Batch "js/mybatch" }}
{{ with .Config }}
{{ .SetOptions (dict
"target" "es2023"
"format" "esm"
"jsx" "automatic"
"loaders" (dict ".png" "dataurl")
"minify" true
"params" (dict "param1" "value1")
)
}}
{{ end }}
{{ end }}
```
## Options
### Build Options
format
: (`string`) Currently only `esm` is supported in [ESBuild's code splitting].
{{% include "./_common/options.md" %}}
### Script Options
resource
: The resource to build. This can be a file resource or a virtual resource.
export
: The export to bind the runner to. Set it to `*` to export the [entire namespace](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/import#namespace_import). Default is `default` for [runner] scripts and `*` for other [scripts](#script).
importContext
: An additional context for resolving imports. Hugo will always check this one first before falling back to `assets` and `node_modules`. A common use of this is to resolve imports inside a page bundle. See [import context](#import-context).
params
: A map of parameters that will be passed to the script as JSON. These gets bound to the `@params` namespace:
```js
import * as params from '@params';
```
### Script Options
### Params Options
params
: A map of parameters that will be passed to the script as JSON.
### Import Context
Hugo will, by default, first try to resolve any import in [assets](/hugo-pipes/introduction/#asset-directory) and, if not found, let [ESBuild] resolve it (e.g. from `node_modules`). The `importContext` option can be used to set the first context for resolving imports. A common use of this is to resolve imports inside a [page bundle](/content-management/page-bundles/).
```go-html-template
{{ $common := resources.Match "/js/headlessui/*.*" }}
{{ $importContext := (slice $.Page ($common.Mount "/js/headlessui" ".")) }}
```
You can pass any object that implements [Resource.Get](/methods/page/resources/#get). Pass a slice to set multiple contexts.
The example above uses [`Resources.Mount`] to resolve a folder inside `assets` relative to the page bundle.
### OptionsSetter
An `OptionsSetter` is a special object that is returned once only. This means that you should wrap it with [with]:
```go-html-template
{{ with .Script "myscript" }}
{{ .SetOptions (dict "resource" (resources.Get "myscript.js"))}}
{{ end }}
```
## Build
The `Build` method returns an object with the following structure:
* Groups (map)
* [`Resources`]
Eeach [`Resource`] will be of media type `application/javascript` or `text/css`.
In a template you would typically handle one group with a given `ID` (e.g. scripts for the current section). Because of the concurrent build, this needs to be done in a [`templates.Defer`] block:
{{% note %}}
The [`templates.Defer`] acts as a synchronisation point to handle scripts added concurrently by different templates. If you have a setup with where the batch is created in one go (in one template), you don't need it.
See [this discussion](https://discourse.gohugo.io/t/js-batch-with-simple-global-script/53002/5?u=bep) for more.
[`templates.Defer`]: /functions/templates/defer/
{{% /note %}}
```go-html-template
{{ $group := .group }}
{{ with (templates.Defer (dict "key" $group "data" $group )) }}
{{ with (js.Batch "js/mybatch") }}
{{ with .Build }}
{{ with index .Groups $ }}
{{ range . }}
{{ $s := . }}
{{ if eq $s.MediaType.SubType "css" }}
<link href="{{ $s.RelPermalink }}" rel="stylesheet" />
{{ else }}
<script src="{{ $s.RelPermalink }}" type="module"></script>
{{ end }}
{{ end }}
{{ end }}
{{ end }}
{{ end }}
```
## Known Issues
In the official documentation for [ESBuild's code splitting], there's a warning note in the header. The two issues are:
* `esm` is currently the only implemented output format. This means that it will not work for very old browsers. See [caniuse](https://caniuse.com/?search=ESM).
* There's a known import ordering issue.
We have not seen the ordering issue as a problem during our [extensive testing](https://github.com/bep/hugojsbatchdemo) of this new feature with different libraries. There are two main cases:
1. Undefined execution order of imports, see [this comment](https://github.com/evanw/esbuild/issues/399#issuecomment-1458680887)
2. Only one execution order of imports, see [this comment](https://github.com/evanw/esbuild/issues/399#issuecomment-735355932)
Many would say that both of the above are [code smells](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_smell). The first one has a simple workaround in Hugo. Define the import order in its own script and make sure it gets passed early to ESBuild, e.g. by putting it in a script group with a name that comes early in the alphabet.
```js
import './lib2.js';
import './lib1.js';
console.log('entrypoints-workaround.js');
