and to your HTML to include everything in the page. This approach is more efficient than having esbuild insert additional JavaScript into app.js that downloads and includes app.css because it means the browser can download and parse both the CSS and the JS in parallel (and potentially apply the CSS before the JS has even finished downloading).
However, sometimes it's difficult to generate the tag. One case is when you've added [hash] to the entry names setting to include a content hash in the file name. Then the file name will look something like app-GX7G2SBE.css and may change across subsequent builds. You can tell esbuild to generate build metadata using the metafile API option but the metadata only tells you which generated JS bundle corresponds to a JS entry point (via the entryPoint property), not which file corresponds to the associated CSS bundle. Working around this was hacky and involved string manipulation.
This release adds the cssBundle property to the metafile to make this easier. It's present on the metadata for the generated JS bundle and points to the associated CSS bundle. So to generate the HTML tags for a given JS entry point, you first find the output file with the entryPoint you are looking for (and put that in a and to your HTML to include everything in the page.
