Verified usage

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

default (clear)

✓ import clear from 'rollup-plugin-clear'

✗ const { default: clear } = require('rollup-plugin-clear')

ESM default import is recommended. In CJS, use dynamic import or default extraction.

default (clear)

✓ const clear = require('rollup-plugin-clear').default;

✗ const clear = require('rollup-plugin-clear');

CJS require yields an object with default property; .default is needed.

TypeScript type

✓ import type { Options } from 'rollup-plugin-clear'

✗ import { Options } from 'rollup-plugin-clear'

Options type is available for TypeScript users; use type-only import for compile-time.

Configures rollup-plugin-clear to clean the 'dist' directory before each build.

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

Debug

Known issues

gotchatargets must be an array of strings, otherwise plugin may not work as expected.

fix

Ensure targets is an array, e.g., targets: ['dist'].

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaPlugin only clears directories; it does not create them. Ensure the output directory exists or is created by Rollup.

fix

Use another plugin like rollup-plugin-mkdirp or rely on Rollup's output.entryFileNames etc.

affects: >=0.0.0
