rolldown-plugin-dts-minify-lite

library0.5.2jsnpmunverified

Rolldown plugin for dts-minify-lite, a lightweight and zero-dependency minifier for TypeScript declaration files (.d.ts). Version 0.5.2 is the latest stable, with frequent updates. Key differentiators: extremely small bundle size, no external dependencies, focused solely on .d.ts minification. Alternative to heavier tools like @microsoft/api-extractor or ts-morph-based minifiers. Requires Rolldown >=1.0.0 as a peer dependency.

Verified usage

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

rolldownPluginDtsMinifyLite

✓ import { rolldownPluginDtsMinifyLite } from 'rolldown-plugin-dts-minify-lite'

✗ const rolldownPluginDtsMinifyLite = require('rolldown-plugin-dts-minify-lite')

Package is ESM-only; require() will fail. Use named import in an ESM context.

default

✓ import rolldownPluginDtsMinifyLite from 'rolldown-plugin-dts-minify-lite'

✗ import { default } from 'rolldown-plugin-dts-minify-lite'

Default export is allowed, but named export is preferred. Both work, but using default import is valid in ESM.

type RolldownPluginDtsMinifyLiteOptions

✓ import type { RolldownPluginDtsMinifyLiteOptions } from 'rolldown-plugin-dts-minify-lite'

Type import for configuration options; only available in TypeScript.

Basic Rolldown configuration using the plugin to minify .d.ts declaration files.

import { defineConfig } from 'rolldown'; import { rolldownPluginDtsMinifyLite } from 'rolldown-plugin-dts-minify-lite'; export default defineConfig({ input: 'src/index.ts', plugins: [ rolldownPluginDtsMinifyLite({ // Options (optional): // removeComments: true, // compress: true }) ], output: { dir: 'dist', format: 'esm' } });

Debug

Known issues

breakingPackage is ESM-only; does not support CommonJS require().

fix

Use import syntax and ensure your project is configured for ESM (e.g., type: 'module' in package.json, or use .mjs extension).

affects: >=0.1.0

deprecatedRolldown versions prior to 1.0.0 are not supported; plugin requires Rolldown >=1.0.0.

fix

Upgrade Rolldown to version 1.0.0 or later.

affects: >=0.1.0

gotchaThe plugin only processes .d.ts files; ensure your Rolldown configuration generates declaration files (e.g., with dts: true in rolldown-plugin-dts).

fix

Add a plugin to generate .d.ts files, such as @rolldown/plugin-dts, before this minifier.

affects: >=0.1.0

gotchaZero dependency means no built-in TypeScript parser; expects valid .d.ts input. Malformed declarations may cause unpredictable behavior.

fix

Ensure your TypeScript compilation produces correct .d.ts files before applying the plugin.

affects: >=0.1.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module /path/to/rolldown-plugin-dts-minify-lite/index.js from /path/to/your/file.js not supported.

Using CommonJS require() to import an ESM-only package.

fix

Switch to dynamic import() or configure your project as ESM.

Error: Cannot find module 'rolldown'

Missing peer dependency. The plugin requires Rolldown >=1.0.0.

fix

Install Rolldown as a dev dependency: npm install -D rolldown

TypeError: rolldownPluginDtsMinifyLite is not a function

Using the wrong import style or importing from a non-existent path.

fix

Use named import: import { rolldownPluginDtsMinifyLite } from 'rolldown-plugin-dts-minify-lite'
