rollup-plugin-del

library1.0.1jsnpmunverified

A Rollup plugin that deletes specified files or directories before or after a build, commonly used to clean the output directory (e.g., dist). Version 1.0.1, last updated 2022. It wraps the `del` package to support glob patterns and automatically falls back to Rollup's output dir/file. Lightweight, no external plugin dependencies. Differentiates from @rollup/plugin-clean by offering glob flexibility and automatic output detection.

Verified usage

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

default

✓ import del from 'rollup-plugin-del'

✗ import { del } from 'rollup-plugin-del'

Plugin is exported as default. Named export does not exist.

default

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

✗ const del = require('rollup-plugin-del')

In CommonJS, the default export is accessed via .default because the package uses ESM.

default

✓ import del from 'rollup-plugin-del'

✗ import del = require('rollup-plugin-del')

TypeScript with `esModuleInterop: false` may require `import del = require('rollup-plugin-del')` but that syntax is uncommon; prefer `esModuleInterop: true`.

Basic Rollup config that cleans the dist directory using default output detection before bundling.

// rollup.config.js import del from 'rollup-plugin-del'; import resolve from '@rollup/plugin-node-resolve'; import commonjs from '@rollup/plugin-commonjs'; export default { input: 'src/index.js', output: { dir: 'dist', format: 'esm' }, plugins: [ del(), // deletes dist before build resolve(), commonjs() ] };

Debug

Known issues

gotchaUses `del` under the hood which cannot delete the current working directory itself – avoid using dest: process.cwd()

fix

Specify a subdirectory like 'dist', not the root.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaPlugin runs once on build start – not on watch rebuild. Files deleted during watch may cause errors.

fix

Restart Rollup after changes or consider other cleanup strategies.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaThe `del` peer dependency is not bundled; you must install `del` separately if not already present.

fix

Run `npm install del -D` alongside rollup-plugin-del.

affects: >=1.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error: Cannot find module 'del'

Missing peer dependency `del`.

fix

Install del: npm install del --save-dev

TypeError: del is not a function

Using named import { del } instead of default import.

fix

Change to `import del from 'rollup-plugin-del'`

Error: EACCES: permission denied, unlink '...'

Attempting to delete files that the process does not have permissions for.

fix

Run with appropriate permissions or adjust file paths.
