rollup-dts-bundler

library1.0.4jsnpmunverified

Rollup plugin that bundles .d.ts files accurately using @microsoft/api-extractor. Current stable version 1.0.4 (released 2025), maintained on GitHub with automated CI and Renovate for dependency updates. Unlike alternatives like rollup-plugin-dts or dts-bundle-generator, this plugin avoids mangling type names and preserves re-exports by leveraging Microsoft's official api-extractor via a simple Rollup interface. Requires Rollup ^4.0.0 and TypeScript ^6.0.0 as peer dependencies.

Code

Verified usage

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

dts

✓ import { dts } from 'rollup-dts-bundler'

✗ const dts = require('rollup-dts-bundler')

ESM-only package; CJS require will fail.

dts (default import)

✓ import dts from 'rollup-dts-bundler'

✗ import { dts } from 'rollup-dts-bundler'

Package also exports a default export; both work.

Minimal Rollup config to bundle .d.ts from src/index.ts to dist/index.d.ts using the dts plugin.

// rollup.config.js import { dts } from 'rollup-dts-bundler'; export default { input: 'src/index.ts', output: { file: 'dist/index.d.ts', format: 'es', }, plugins: [dts()], };

Debug

Known issues

breakingRequires Rollup 4+, TypeScript 6+ peer deps

fix

Upgrade Rollup to v4 and TypeScript to v6.

affects: <1.0.0

gotchaPlugin only works in generateBundle hook; Rollup input/output config forward to api-extractor, not standard typescript plugin.

fix

Do not use other TypeScript plugins in same bundle; this plugin solely handles .d.ts emission.

affects: >=0

gotchaExternal types (e.g. @types/*) automatically excluded; cannot override without bundling workaround.

fix

If you need to bundle external types, use bundledPackages option.

affects: >=0
