Code

Verified usage

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

default

✓ import empty from 'rollup-plugin-empty'

✗ const { empty } = require('rollup-plugin-empty')

Default export in ESM, named import does not exist.

default

✓ const empty = require('rollup-plugin-empty')

CommonJS require, works in Node without issues.

EmptyOptions

✓ import type { EmptyOptions } from 'rollup-plugin-empty'

TypeScript users can import the options interface for type checking.

Demonstrates emptying the 'dist' directory before building with Rollup.

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

Debug

Known issues

gotchaUsing both `file` and `dir` options may lead to unintended behavior: files matching both patterns might be deleted and also the directory emptied.

fix

Use either `file` or `dir` exclusively, or carefully design patterns to avoid overlap.

affects: >=1.0

gotchaGlob patterns are resolved relative to the current working directory, not the config file location.

fix

Use absolute paths or ensure cwd is correct.

affects: >=1.0

deprecatedOption 'silent' default changed from false to true in future versions; not yet deprecated but behavior may change.

fix

Explicitly set 'silent' to desired value.

affects: >=1.0 <2.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

TypeError: empty is not a function

Using named import instead of default import in ESM.

fix

Use `import empty from 'rollup-plugin-empty'`

ENOENT: no such file or directory, unlink '...'

The file specified in 'file' option does not exist or already deleted.

fix

Ensure files exist at build start or use 'dir' option instead.
