library1.0.1jsnpmunverified

An esbuild plugin that clears a specified directory before each build. Version 1.0.0 is current, no known release cadence. It is a simple utility plugin that removes all files in the given directory path. Differentiates by being lightweight and dependency-free, unlike broader cleanup tools like rimraf or del integrated into build systems.

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

default (clear)
✓ import clear from 'esbuild-plugin-clear'
✗ const clear = require('esbuild-plugin-clear')
Package uses default export and is ESM-first; require() may work only in some environments.
clear as named import
✓ import { default as clear } from 'esbuild-plugin-clear'
✗ import { clear } from 'esbuild-plugin-clear'
Symbol is not named; use default import or alias default.
Used as plugin in esbuild
✓ clear('./dist')
✗ clear({ path: './dist' })
The plugin function takes a string argument (directory path), not an options object.

Shows basic usage: importing the clear plugin and passing the directory to clear before building.

import esbuild from 'esbuild'; import clear from 'esbuild-plugin-clear'; esbuild.build({ entryPoints: ['./src/index.js'], bundle: true, outfile: './dist/index.js', plugins: [ clear('./dist') ] }).catch(() => process.exit(1));
