rollup-plugin-deps-external

library0.2.1jsnpmunverified

Rollup plugin (v0.2.1) that automatically externalizes dependencies listed in package.json (dependencies, peerDependencies, and Node.js builtins). It simplifies the common task of excluding npm packages from the bundle, reducing bundle size and avoiding duplication. Most code is borrowed from rollup-plugin-auto-external but offers a slightly different API. Its defaults externalize builtins, dependencies, and peerDependencies. The last release was 0.2.0 with 0.2.1 as a patch. No known security issues. It integrates seamlessly with an existing Rollup external function.

Code

Verified usage

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

depsExternal

✓ import depsExternal from 'rollup-plugin-deps-external'

✗ const depsExternal = require('rollup-plugin-deps-external')

This package is ESM-only. CommonJS require will fail.

depsExternal

✓ import { depsExternal } from 'rollup-plugin-deps-external'

✗ import depsExternal from 'rollup-plugin-deps-external'

The module uses a default export, not a named export. Named import will not work.

depsExternal

✓ import depsExternal from 'rollup-plugin-deps-external'

Default import is correct. No named exports available.

Minimal Rollup config that automatically externalizes all dependencies, peerDependencies, and Node builtins.

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

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe package is ESM-only and cannot be used with CommonJS require.

fix

Ensure your project is ESM ("type": "module" in package.json) or use a dynamic import.

affects: >=0.2.0

gotchaThe plugin uses a default export. Attempting named import will result in undefined.

fix

Use: import depsExternal from 'rollup-plugin-deps-external'

affects: >=0.2.0

gotchaOptions like builtins, dependencies, peerDependencies default to true. If you want to exclude some, you must explicitly set them to false.

fix

Pass options object, e.g., depsExternal({ peerDependencies: false }).

affects: >=0.2.0

gotchaThe packagePath defaults to process.cwd(). If your package.json is elsewhere, you must provide the correct path.

fix

Set packagePath: path.resolve('./path/to/package.json').

affects: >=0.2.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module not supported.

Using CommonJS require to load an ESM-only package.

fix

Convert your config to ESM (use .mjs or "type": "module" in package.json) and use import.

TypeError: (0 , _rollupPluginDepsExternal.default) is not a function

Named import ({ depsExternal }) instead of default import.

fix

Change import statement to: import depsExternal from 'rollup-plugin-deps-external'

Could not resolve import: some-package (imported by src/index.js).

The package is not in package.json (e.g., a devDependency) but the plugin does not externalize it.

fix

Add the package to dependencies or peerDependencies, or use a different externalization strategy.
