Description

Hi, author of Telefunc here; we'd love to write a SWC plugin for it.

The Telefunc transformer's result is different depending on whether the code is being transpiled for the client-side or for the server-side. Is there a way to get that information from within a SWC plugin?

I've been looking at current SWC plugins (swc-project/plugins) but I couldn't find any client/server discrimination so far.

Looking forward to supporting Next.js 13's --turbo development.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the SWC plugin examples in swc-project/plugins and the plugin API, then compare them with Telefunc's stated need to distinguish client-side from server-side transpilation. Done means establishing whether a supported client/server signal exists for plugins and documenting the relevant approach or limitation.
