@kineticcafe/rollup-plugin-delete v3.0.0-beta.0

@kineticcafe/rollup-plugin-delete

Delete files and folders using Rollup. This is a fork of the excellent rollup-plugin-delete. The changes are mostly:

• Convert to Typescript. The previous version produces TS2349 even though the created type declaration file and the generated type declaration file are more or less the same.

About

This plugin is useful when you want to clean dist or other folders and files before bundling. It's using del internally, check it for pattern examples.

Installation

# pnpm
pnpm install -D @kineticcafe/rollup-plugin-delete

# yarn
yarn add -D @kineticcafe/rollup-plugin-delete

# npm
npm install -D @kineticcafe/rollup-plugin-delete

Usage

// rollup.config.js
import { del } from '@kineticcafe/rollup-plugin-delete'

export default {
  input: 'src/index.js',
  output: {
    file: 'dist/app.js',
    format: 'cjs',
  },
  plugins: [del({ targets: 'dist/*' })],
}

You can also remove files after the bundle has been written:

// vite.config.ts
import * as path from 'node:path'
import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
import { del } from '@kineticcafe/rollup-plugin-delete'

const deleteIndexHtml = () =>
  del({
    targets: path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist/index.html'),
    hook: 'writeBundle',
  })

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [deleteIndexHtml()],
})

Configuration

There are some useful options:

targets

A string or an array of patterns of files and folders to be deleted. Default is [].

del({ targets: 'dist/*' })

del({
  targets: ['dist/*', 'build/*'],
})

verbose

Output removed files and folders to console. Default is false.

del({
  targets: 'dist/*',
  verbose: true,
})

Note: use * (wildcard character) in pattern to show removed files

hook

The Rollup hook the plugin should use. Default is buildStart.

del({
  targets: 'dist/*',
  hook: 'buildEnd',
})

runOnce

Type: boolean | Default: false

Delete items once. Useful in watch mode.

del({
  targets: 'dist/*',
  runOnce: true,
})

All other options are passed to del package which is used inside.
