rollup-plugin-cleandir

library3.0.0jsnpmunverified

A Rollup plugin that automatically empties output directories before each build. Version 3.0.0 requires Rollup >=4.0.0 and runs on the `buildStart` hook with `order: 'pre'` by default, ensuring cleanup happens before any other plugin. The plugin forces an explicit `OUT_DIR` argument (optional in v2 but required in v3). It ships TypeScript definitions. Compared to similar plugins like `rollup-plugin-clean`, it is minimal and focused, with no extra features. Release cadence is low; major versions align with Rollup major upgrades.

Verified usage

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

cleandir

✓ import { cleandir } from 'rollup-plugin-cleandir'

✗ import cleandir from 'rollup-plugin-cleandir'

Named export only. Default import does not work.

cleandir (CommonJS)

✓ const { cleandir } = require('rollup-plugin-cleandir')

✗ const cleandir = require('rollup-plugin-cleandir').default

CommonJS users must destructure the named export.

type CleandirOptions

✓ import type { CleandirOptions } from 'rollup-plugin-cleandir'

TypeScript users can import the options type for better autocompletion.

Shows basic usage: import the named export and pass the output directory as the first argument.

// rollup.config.js import { cleandir } from 'rollup-plugin-cleandir'; export default { input: 'src/index.js', output: { dir: 'dist', format: 'es', }, plugins: [cleandir('dist')], };

Debug

Known issues

breakingOUT_DIR is now required in v3.0.0

fix

Always pass the output directory path as the first argument to cleandir().

affects: >=3.0.0

breakingv2.0.0 requires Rollup >=2.0.0

fix

Upgrade Rollup to v2 or higher, or stay on v1.x of the plugin.

affects: >=2.0.0 <3.0.0

gotchaPlugin uses `buildStart` hook with `order:'pre'`; may run before other plugins that also use the same hook with `order:'pre'`

fix

If you need a different ordering, use the options argument to specify a custom hook and/or order.

affects: >=3.0.0
