How to compile using your own custom plugin?

I created this discussion (https://github.com/swc-project/swc/discussions/7385) but thought I'd make a post here too to try get a response faster.

I don't understand how I'm supposed to apply custom transformations to a given JavaScript file. I'm using the

swc compile

swc compile

command (from

cargo install swc_cli

cargo install swc_cli

), but the transformations aren't applied on the produced output. Even using a config like this with a plugin like https://github.com/williamtetlow/swc-plugin-console-prefix doesn't apply the transformations:

{
    "jsc": {
        "experimental": {
            "plugins": [
                ["swc-plugin-console-prefix", { "prefixPattern": "hello", "ignore": ["info"] }]
            ]
        }
    }
}

{
    "jsc": {
        "experimental": {
            "plugins": [
                ["swc-plugin-console-prefix", { "prefixPattern": "hello", "ignore": ["info"] }]
            ]
        }
    }
}

(Input is

console.log("world")

console.log("world")

, output is

console.log("world")

console.log("world")

, expected output is

console.log("hello", "world")

console.log("hello", "world")

)

The command I'm running is

swc compile in.js --out-file out.js --config-file build.swcrc

swc compile in.js --out-file out.js --config-file build.swcrc

. All files including config are in the directory. Enabling

env.debug

env.debug

doesn't produce any helpful output either. The only transformations that get applied are stuff like if I target es5 instead of es2016 (ie

const

const

is turned into

var

var

) as well as the

minify

minify

option with

mangle

mangle

etc. Plugin transformations don't seem to work at all.

Is there a different command you're supposed to use to apply transformations using plugins? I noticed in the README in the mentioned plugin above it uses

npx swc ./test.js

npx swc ./test.js

but shouldn't you still be able to do the same with the CLI installed with

cargo install swc_cli

cargo install swc_cli
