Rollup boilerplate is a project generator for UMD+ESM JavaScript libraries. Version 1.1.5 provides a CLI tool to scaffold a modern library project with Rollup, Babel, and testing setup. It supports both CommonJS (UMD) and ES module (MJS) outputs, making it suitable for creating universal libraries. Release cadence is low; last update was in 2021. Differentiators: automatic dependency installation, customized project structure, and built-in configuration for Rollup and Babel in a single command.

Verified usage

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

create-library
✓ Run `create-library` from command line after global install.
✗ Using `npm run create-library` without global install (will fail if not in package.json scripts).
This is a CLI command, not a programmatic import.

Install the CLI globally, create a folder, run 'create-library', answer prompts, then install dependencies and build.

# Install globally npm install -g rollup-boilerplate # Create a new library mkdir myLibrary && cd myLibrary create-library # Follow prompts: name, version, description, author, etc. # Then run: npm install npm run build # builds UMD and ESM bundles under dist/ npm test # runs Jest tests
