esbuild-plugin-removetestid

0.0.5 verified Fri May 01 auth: no javascript deprecated

ESBuild plugin to remove data-testid attributes from JSX/TSX during build. Current version is 0.0.5 (no recent updates, appears unmaintained). The author deprecated it in favor of esbuild-plugin-react18, which provides additional options and control. Differentiator: simple API but deprecated and superseded by a more comprehensive plugin.

Warnings

deprecated Package is deprecated in favor of esbuild-plugin-react18 ↓

fix Switch to esbuild-plugin-react18, which offers more features and control.

gotcha Only removes data-testid attributes; does not handle other test attributes like data-test or data-cy ↓
