Include Metadata as part of BuildResult

[eulores]

Can you please expose Metadata as part of BuildResult, in particular if write is false.
That would be similar to exposing outputFiles.

Right now I have to write out that information to disk using metafile, only to then read it in and parse the JSON.
Thanks!

This is related to #15 and #140.

Metadata is included as part of BuildResult if write is false. It's included as one of the outputFiles. You do not need to read it from disk. This is verified by the above commit.

Thanks!

@evanw but BuildResult doesn't contain imports. How can I get a list of imports if write is false?

[evanw]

The imports should be contained in the metafile. This is the format of the data, which does include imports:

esbuild/lib/types.ts

Lines 100 to 123 in 36343c2

	// This is the type information for the "metafile" JSON format
	export interface Metadata {
	inputs: {
	[path: string]: {
	bytes: number
	imports: {
	path: string
	}[]
	}
	}
	outputs: {
	[path: string]: {
	bytes: number
	inputs: {
	[path: string]: {
	bytesInOutput: number
	}
	}
	imports: {
	path: string
	}[]
	}
	}
	}
