rollup-plugin-copy-glob

library0.4.1jsnpmunverified

Rollup plugin that copies files and folders during build with glob pattern support and optional renaming. Current stable version is 0.4.1, released with infrequent updates. It is a lightweight alternative to rollup-plugin-copy, offering glob patterns and rename support out of the box, with minimal configuration. It supports Node >=12 and integrates with Rollup's watch mode for file copying on rebuild.

Code

Verified usage

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

copy

✓ import copy from 'rollup-plugin-copy-glob'

✗ const copy = require('rollup-plugin-copy-glob')

Default export; CommonJS require() may work but ESM import is recommended for Rollup plugins.

CopyOptions

✓ import type { CopyOptions } from 'rollup-plugin-copy-glob'

TypeScript users can import types for options; available since 0.4.0.

CopyTarget

✓ import type { CopyTarget } from 'rollup-plugin-copy-glob'

Type for each copy target object specifying files, dest, rename.

Shows basic setup: copy HTML/CSS files with glob, rename a config file, and copy images recursively with verbose logging and watch mode.

import copy from 'rollup-plugin-copy-glob'; export default { input: 'src/index.js', output: { file: 'dist/bundle.js', format: 'iife', name: 'app' }, plugins: [ copy([ { files: 'src/*.{html,css}', dest: 'dist' }, { files: 'src/config.template', dest: 'dist', rename: 'config.json' }, { files: 'dev/images/**/*.*', dest: 'dist/images' } ], { verbose: true, watch: true }) ] };

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe plugin only copies files at build start or during watch mode; it does not clean the destination before copying, so outdated files may remain.

fix

Use a separate cleanup plugin like rollup-plugin-delete or manually clean dist before build.

affects: >=0.0.0

deprecatedOption 'watch' is deprecated; use Rollup's built-in watch mode instead.

fix

Remove the 'watch' option; rely on Rollup's --watch flag.

affects: >=0.1.0

breakingIn version 0.1.0, the API changed from copy(files, dest) to copy([...], options).

fix

Update your plugin config to use array of objects with 'files' and 'dest' properties.

affects: >=0.1.0

gotchaWhen using rename, ensure the destination directory exists; the plugin does not create nested directories automatically.

fix

Create the destination directory manually or use a separate mkdirp step.

affects: >=0.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

TypeError: copy is not a function

Importing the plugin incorrectly (e.g., using named import instead of default).

fix

Use `import copy from 'rollup-plugin-copy-glob'` (default import).

Error: No files matched with pattern: src/**/*.txt

Glob pattern does not match any existing files.

fix

Verify the path and pattern; check if files exist relative to project root.

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, copyfile 'source' -> 'dest'

The destination directory does not exist.

fix

Create the destination directory before running Rollup, or use a plugin that auto-creates directories.
