🔧 Usage

cleanupPlugin(options);

This function needs to be called inside the esbuild configuration in order to use this plugin. It will provide the plugin inside the build process of esbuild.

esbuild.build({
  // some configuration...
  plugins: [
    cleanupPlugin();
    // more plugins here...
  ]
})

cleanupPlugin({
  // configure here
});

  overrideOut: "dist" // any directory allowed
});
