WebUI builds are configured using BUILD.gn files, which live in the top level directory for a WebUI. For example, the BUILD.gn file for the Downloads page is located at chrome/browser/resources/downloads/BUILD.gn.
These files specify the build steps necessary to convert the checked-in code to the code that should be served at runtime.
WebUI build rules should typically only be used in WebUI-related folders (e.g. chrome/browser/resources, ui/webui/resources, and folders within components/ and content/ that contain WebUI code).
WebUI build rules should only be used directly or via the wrapper rules documented here (build_webui, build_webui_tests). If you want to use any of the rules below from within another tool or script, please get a review from one of the cross-platform, non-backend WebUI OWNERS.
These rules are used to inline HTML or CSS into a TypeScript file which can be compiled by TS compiler and then imported with JS imports at runtime. This is necessary when writing Web Components, which need to return their HTML in the template()
getter method.
By default, these rules accept input files from within the current directory.
By default, they output the wrapped .html.ts
and .css.ts
files to the target generated directory (|target_gen_dir|).
in_files: specifies the list of files to process with respect to the |in_folder|. template: html_to_wrapper only. Valid values are: - "polymer" (default) - "native" (use when wrapping the HTML template of a non-Polymer web component) - "detect" (use when there are both Polymer and native web components) in_folder: Specifies the input folder where files are located. If not specified, the current directory (of the BUILD.gn file) is used. out_folder: Specifies the location to write the wrapped files. If not specified, |target_gen_dir| is used. minify: Whether to minify HTML/CSS with third_party/node/node_modules/html-minifier. Defaults to false. use_js: Whether to output .js files instead of .ts files. Defaults to false. scheme: One of ['chrome', 'relative']. Defaults to 'relative'. Specifies whether dependencies of the generated wrapper file should be imported with "chrome://resources" or scheme-relative "//resources" URLs.
import("//tools/polymer/html_to_wrapper.gni") import("//tools/polymer/css_to_wrapper.gni") # Generates "my_web_component.html.ts" in |target_gen_dir|. html_to_wrapper("html_wrapper_files") { in_files = [ "my_web_component.html" ] } # Generates "my_style_module.css.ts" in |target_gen_dir|. css_to_wrapper("css_wrapper_files") { in_files = [ "my_style_module.css" ] }
This rule is used to preprocess files containing <if expr="*">
. These expressions are most frequently used to enable code to only run on certain platforms.
By default, reads input files from within the current directory and saves output in |target_gen_dir|.
in_folder: specifies the input folder, where all input files are located. Defaults to the folder where the BUILD.gn file resides. out_folder: specifies the folder that the preprocessed files should be placed in. This must be a generated directory. Defaults to |target_gen_dir|. in_files: specifies the list of input files to preprocess with respect to the |in_folder|. out_manifest: Specifies a file where the list of output files and their directory should be written. This is most useful when the preprocessed files need to be listed in a grd file. Since preprocessed files are instead passed to ts_library in WebUIs that have been migrated to TypeScript, this is only used by WebUIs that have not been migrated to TypeScript yet. defines: Optional parameter. Specifies additional variables that can be used in conditional expressions.
import("//tools/grit/preprocess_if_expr.gni") # Preprocesses "my_web_component.html.ts" and my_style_module.css.ts in # |target_gen_dir|, into "$target_gen_dir/preprocessed". preprocess_if_expr("preprocess_generated") { # Depend on the targets that generates these files. deps = [ ":css_wrapper_files", ":html_wrapper_files", ] in_folder = target_gen_dir in_files = [ "my_style_module.css.ts", "my_web_component.html.ts", ] out_folder = "$target_gen_dir/$preprocess_folder" defines = [ "foo_enabled=false" ] } # Preprocess "my_web_component.ts" and "my_webui.ts" in the src dir into # "$target_gen_dir/preprocessed". preprocess_if_expr("preprocess_src") { in_folder = "." in_files = [ "my_web_component.ts", "my_webui.ts", ] out_folder = "$target_gen_dir/$preprocess_folder" defines = [ "foo_enabled=true" ] }
This rule is used to compile TypeScript code to JavaScript. It outputs JS files corresponding to each TS file passed as an input into the designated output directory, and generates a manifest listing all the files it has output named $target_name.manifest in the target generated directory.
All input files must be valid TypeScript. This means, among other things, that files shouldn't contain any `<if expr>`, i.e. they should already have been preprocessed, if necessary. It also means that e.g. HTML or image files shouldn't be passed to ts_library. All files that aren't imported with an absolute path (e.g. `import {assert} from 'chrome://resources/js/assert.js'; `) need to exist inside the TypeScript root directory, at the expected location. For example, if foo.ts in the top level directory contains the import statement `import {Baz} from './bar/baz.js';`, then the folder structure when ts_library is invoked should look like this: root_dir/ foo.ts bar/ baz.ts
root_dir: This is the root directory where all TypeScript files to compile must reside (see note above). out_dir: The directory where ts_library will write the compiled JavaScript files. composite: Set this to "true" if the output needs to be used as a library by a different ts_library target (this frequently occurs when tests are compiled as a ts_library). in_files: The input file paths to be compiled, with respect to the |in_folder|. definitions: TypeScript definitions files used by the input TypeScript files, for example chrome.send or extension API definitions. tsconfig_base: Specifies the tsconfig_base.json file to use. Necessary only if specifying configuration options for TS compiler that differ from the defaults in tools/typescript/tsconfig_base.json deps: Specifies all other ts_library targets generating libraries that this target's library needs, for example the shared resources library at //ui/webui/resources/js:build_ts. extra_deps: Used to specify build targets generating the input files for TS compiler. path_mappings: Additional non-default path mappings for absolute imports. The absolute 'chrome://resources/' paths are already mapped for any resources in libraries that are listed in |deps|; for example adding "//ui/webui/resources/cr_elements:build_ts" in deps will automatically add the mapping for imports from that library (e.g. 'chrome://resources/cr_elements/cr_button/cr_button.js'). Important: Adding path_mappings *does not* add the files mapped in |inputs| or the targets generating files to |deps|. To prevent flaky build errors, *always* do one of the following when adding a path_mapping: - Add the ts_library() target responsible for compiling .ts files into the mapped generated directory to |deps|. - Add the ts_definitions(), copy(), preprocess_if_expr(), or other target responsible for generating definitions files in the mapped generated directory to |extra_deps| - Add all source .d.ts files your target uses from the mapped source directory to |definitions|. path_mappings_file: A .json file containing path mappings in the form {url: [ dir1, dir2, ... ] } where dir* are relative to the |target_gen_dir|. manifest_excludes: List of input files to exclude from the output the manifest file. enable_source_maps: Defaults to the value of the enable_webui_inline_sourcemaps GN flag. Setting it to "true" turns on TS compiler's 'inlineSourceMap' and 'inlineSources' flags. Non-inlined source maps are currently not supported.
import("//tools/typescript/ts_library.gni") # Compiles and outputs my_webui.js, my_web_component.js and # my_web_component.html.js, in the "$target_gen_dir/tsc" folder. ts_library("build_ts") { root_dir = "$target_gen_dir/preprocessed" out_dir = "$target_gen_dir/tsc" in_files = [ "my_webui.ts", "my_style_module.css.ts", "my_web_component.html.ts", "my_web_component.ts", ] # List other ts_library targets for libraries the UI needs here deps = [ "//third_party/polymer/v3_0:library", "//ui/webui/resources/js:build_ts", ] definitions = [ "//tools/typescript/definitions/chrome_send.d.ts", ] extra_deps = [ ":copy_file", ":preprocess_src", ":preprocess_generated", ] }
This rule generates a path mappings .json file named ‘path_mappings_<target_name>.json’ in |target_gen_dir| from a list of target dependencies. Its output can be passed to ts_library's |path_mappings_file| parameter.
Note that the rule only generates mappings for dependencies that are mapped in path_mappings.py (e.g. //ui/webui/resources/ deps).
ts_deps: List of ts_library() dependencies to generate path mappings for. webui_context_type: What import scheme(s) should be mapped for the UI. Options: 'trusted': Maps chrome:// and scheme-relative imports. Default value. 'untrusted': Maps chrome-untrusted:// and scheme-relative imports. 'relative': Maps scheme-relative imports only. 'trusted_only': Maps chrome:// imports only.
This rule is a thin wrapper around ts_library() that defines 2 targets: (1) a webui_path_mappings() (“path_mappings”) target to generate a path mappings file from |deps|. (2) a ts_library() target (“build_ts”) that consumes the generated path mappings file along with all remaining arguments.
webui_ts_library uses all the same arguments as ts_library, in addition to the following:
webui_context_type: See |webui_context_type| in webui_path_mappings().
This rule is used to bundle larger user-facing WebUIs for improved performance. It is generally not needed for debug UIs or UIs that have very few files to import.
host: The WebUI host. If specified without a scheme, the assumed root location will be "chrome://<host>". If specified with a scheme (e.g. "chrome-extension://aaaaaaaaa") the full <host> argument will be the root. input: The location of the input files to be bundled. js_module_in_files: The names of the root files to bundle. These files should import all other dependencies (directly or indirectly). These should be specified with respect to |input|. 1 or 2 input files are supported. Each will result in one output file named like the input with a new "rollup" suffix, e.g. "foo/main.js" --> "foo/main.rollup.js". If 2 inputs are specified, a third shared bundle file will also be created. The shared bundle will be named "shared.rollup.js" and located at the same relative path as the inputs. out_manifest: File location to write the manifest of all output files created by bundle_js(). Useful for generating grds. rollup_config: Optional parameter. The path to a custom Rollup configuration file. When specified it overrides the default auto-generated configuration file. Note: The custom configuration should not refer to other files (like plugin files), because such files are not automatically declared as `inputs`. deps: Targets generating any files being bundled. Note that this should include targets generating shared resources that are expected to be bundled in the UI, e.g. //ui/webui/resources/js:build_ts. excludes: Paths of files that are not bundled. Often used for large mojo files that would otherwise be in many bundles, and for cr.js which relies on global variables. external_paths: Mappings between absolute URLs and paths where files imported from these URLs can be found. Used for files that are not in |input|. For example, the following external_path is automatically added for all targets: "chrome://resources/|$resources_path" where resources_path is the path to where ts_library()s within ui/webui/resources place their output (e.g. gen/ui/webui/resources/tsc). Note: all absolute URLs must either be listed in |excludes| or be mapped in |external_paths|, otherwise a build time error is raised. out_folder: The location where bundled files will be placed in. Defaults to |target_gen_dir|.
import("//ui/webui/resources/tools/bundle_js.gni") import ("//chrome/common/features.gni") # optimize_webui should generally only be called when the optimize_webui # feature flag is enabled. if (optimize_webui) { bundle_js("build") { host = "mywebui" js_module_in_files = [ "my_webui.js" ] # will output my_webui.rollup.js input = rebase_path("$target_gen_dir/tsc", root_build_dir) out_manifest = "$target_gen_dir/build_manifest.json" # Assumes the JS files were generated by a ts_library target called # build_ts. deps = [ ":build_ts", "//ui/webui/resources/js:build_ts", ] excludes = [ "chrome://resources/js/cr.js", "chrome://resources/mojo/mojo/public/js/bindings.js", ] } }
This rule is used to minify Javascript files to reduce build size. This can be used alongside bundle_js(), if bundling and minifying is desired.
in_folder: The location of the input files to be minified. in_files: The list of JS files to minify with respect to the |in_folder|. out_folder: The location where minified files will be outputted. out_manifest: The location to write the manifest file of all files outputted by minify_js(). Defaults to $target_gen_dir/${target_name}_manifest.json. deps: Targets generating any files being minified.
import("//ui/webui/resources/tools/minify_js.gni") import ("//chrome/common/features.gni") # minify_js should generally only be called when the optimize_webui # GN flag is enabled. if (optimize_webui) { minify_js("build") { in_files = [ "my_webui.js" ] in_folder = "$target_gen_dir/tsc" out_folder = "$target_gen_dir/minified" # Assumes the JS files were generated by a ts_library target called # build_ts. deps = [ ":build_ts" ] } }
This rule is used to list the WebUI resources that need to be served at runtime in a grd file.
input_files: Input file paths to list in the grd file. input_files_base_dir: Directory in which |input_files| can be found. deps: Lists any targets responsible for generating |input_files|, |grdp files|, or |manifest_files|. manifest_files: List of manifest files listing additional files that should be added to the grd. grdp_files: List of .grdp files that should be included in the grd. Generally such files are also created with generate_grd(). This option can only be used if a .grd file is produced, since .grdp files can't be nested. grd_prefix: The prefix to use for the grd resource IDs. Resources will be named with the following pattern: IDR_GRD_PREFIX_INPUT_FILE_PATH out_grd: The output grd file to write. Must end with either '.grd' or '.grdp'. resource_path_prefix: Optional prefix to add to every path in input_files (after the path has been processed by |resource_path_rewrites|). Must not end in a `/` as it will automatically be added when joining to each path. resource_path_rewrites: Paths to rewrite. In general, the path in input_files, or the path listed in a manifest, will be used as the resource path, i.e. "foo/bar.js" will have that path relative to the root "chrome://mywebui/" at runtime. By specifying resource_path_rewrites = [ "foo/bar.js|foo_bar.js" ], the path will instead be "foo_bar.js". Usually only needed in somewhat complicated cases.
import("//ui/webui/resources/tools/generate_grd.gni") generate_grd("build_grd") { input_files = [ "my_webui.html" ] input_files_base_dir = rebase_path(".", "//") deps = [ ":build_ts" ] manifest_files = filter_include(get_target_outputs(":build_ts"), [ "*_manifest.json" ]) # Or, configure statically the manifest file name: # manifest_files = [ "$target_gen_dir/build_ts.manifest" ] grd_prefix = "my_webui" out_grd = "$target_gen_dir/${grd_prefix}_resources.grd" }
This rule is used to create a pak file from the grd file that contains all the listed resources, so that they can be included in the binary and served at runtime. Without creating a grit rule (and hooking up the target to the build), the WebUI will not load since the resources will not exist. This rule also generates C++ header files that are used to add the files to a specific WebUIController.
defines: The defines that grit should use when making the pak file. Generally should include chrome_grit_defines. enable_input_discovery_for_gn_analyze: If using generated grd files, this needs to be set to false. source: The source grd file. outputs: List of files to output. Should always include the name of the pak file, and should generally also list the C++ header file and C++ header and .cc files for the resources map. output_dir: Location to put the pak file. Often "$root_gen_dir/chrome". deps: Names of any targets generating the grd file, and names of any targets generating the files to be packed, if they are not already dependencies of the target generating the grd file (as is often, but not always, the case).
import("//tools/grit/grit_rule.gni") grit("resources") { defines = chrome_grit_defines enable_input_discovery_for_gn_analyze = false source = "$target_gen_dir/resources.grd" deps = [ ":build_grd" ] outputs = [ "grit/my_webui_resources.h", "grit/my_webui_resources_map.cc", "grit/my_webui_resources_map.h", "my_webui_resources.pak", ] output_dir = "$root_gen_dir/chrome" }

The flow diagram below shows a high level view of how a typical modern user-facing WebUI is being built.
This umbrella rule captures the most common WebUI build pipeline configuration and aims to hide the complexity of having to define all previously described rules directly. Using build_webui() is the recommended approach for most modern user-facing WebUIs that use WebComponents+TypeScript+Mojo.
The parameters passed to build_webui() are forwarded as needed to the other GN rules described earlier.
Under the cover, build_webui() defines the following targets
Some targets are only conditionally defined based on build_webui() input parameters.
Only “:build_ts”, “:resources” and “:build_grdp” targets are public and can be referred to from other parts of the build.
List of files params: static_files: Optional parameter. List of 1) non Web Component HTML/CSS files (don't confuse with |css_files| below). These are passed to preprocess_if_expr() 2) JPG/PNG/SVG files. These are included in the build verbatim without any preprocessing. web_component_files: List of TS files that hold Web Component definitions with equivalent HTML template files. These can be either native or Polymer Web Components. Optional parameter. non_web_component_files: List of TS files that are not Web Components, or Web Component files that don't have a corresponding HTML template (rare case). Optional parameter. icons_html_files: List of HTML files that hold Polymer iron-iconset-svg instances. Optional parameter. css_files: List of CSS files that hold Polymer style modules, or CSS variable definitions. These are passed css_to_wrapper(). Optional parameter. mojo_files: List of Mojo JS generated files. These will be copied to a temporary location so that they can be passed to ts_library() along with other files. Optional parameter. mojo_files_deps: List of Mojo targets that generate |mojo_files|. Must be defined if |mojo_files| is defined. mojo_base_path: Specifies the directory under which Mojo files will be served at runtime. Optional parameter. Defaults to the top level folder '.', which results in Mojo files being served from 'chrome://<webui_name>/foo.mojom-webui.js'. Example: Passing 'mojom-webui' would result in Mojo files being served from 'chrome://<webui_name>/mojom-webui/foo.mojom-webui.js'. TypeScript (ts_library()) related params: ts_composite: See |composite| in ts_library(). Defaults to false, optional. ts_out_dir: See |out_dir| in ts_library().

Optional parameter. ts_tsconfig_base: The tsconfig file to use for ts_library(). Optional. Defaults to "//tools/typescript/tsconfig_base_polymer.json" for UIs that depend on Polymer (i.e. have "//third_party/polymer/v3_0:library" in their |ts_deps|). Defaults to "//tools/typescript/tsconfig_base_lit.json" for UIs that do not depend on Polymer and depend on Lit (i.e. have "//third_party/lit/v3_0:build_ts" in |ts_deps|). Defaults to "//tools/typescript/tsconfig_base.json" for all other UIs. HTML/CSS/JS optimization related params: optimize: Specifies whether any optimization steps will be used. Defaults to the value of the optimize_webui GN flag. When true, html_to_wrapper() and css_to_wrapper() will be invoked with the |minify| flag on, to minify HTML/CSS code. When true, minify_js() will be invoked to minify JS code (using Terser). If |optimize_webui_in_files| is provided then bundle_js() will also be invoked to bundle JS code (using Rollup). |optimize_webui_host| must be specified if |optimize_webui_in_files| is provided. optimize_webui_host: See |host| in bundle_js(). optimize_webui_excludes: See |excludes| in bundle_js(). Optional. optimize_webui_external_paths: See |external_paths| in optimize_webui(). Optional. optimize_webui_in_files: See |in_files| in bundle_js().

Optional parameter, defaults to "$root_gen_dir/chrome" enable_source_maps: Defaults to "false". Incompatible with |optimize=true|. Setting it to "true" turns on source map generation for a few underlying targets. See ts_library()'s |enable_source_maps| for more details.

The flow diagram below shows a high level view of how a typical modern user-facing WebUI's tests are built.
This umbrella rule captures the most common WebUI test build pipeline configuration and aims to hide the complexity of having to define multiple other targets directly. Using build_webui_tests() is the recommended approach for most modern user-facing WebUIs tests that reside under chrome/test/data/webui/<webui_name>/ and are served from chrome://webui-test/<webui_name>/
Under the cover, build_webui_tests() defines the following targets
The parameters passed to build_webui_tests() are forwarded as needed to the targets above. Only the “:build_grdp” target is public and can be referred to from other parts of the build.
is_chrome_untrusted: Set to true if testing a chrome-untrusted:// UI. Optional parameter. Allows importing shared test files from chrome-untrusted://webui-test/ instead of chrome://webui-test. Passing true will set |webui_context_type| to 'untrusted' rather than 'trusted' for webui_ts_library(). List of files params: files: Required parameter. List of all test related files. TypeScript (ts_library()) related params: ts_tsconfig_base: See |tsconfig_base| in ts_library(). Optional parameter. If not provided the default configuration at '//chrome/test/data/webui/tsconfig_base.json' is used. ts_composite: See |composite| in ts_library(). Defaults to false, optional. ts_definitions: See |definitions| in ts_library(). Optional parameter. ts_deps: See |deps| in ts_library(). Required parameter. ts_path_mappings: See |path_mappings| in ts_library(). Optional parameter. Grit (generate_grd()) related params: resource_path_prefix: See |resource_path_prefix| in generate_grd(). Optional parameter. Only specify it for targets residing outside of //chrome/test/data/webui.
