Verified usage

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

imagemin

✓ import imagemin from 'rollup-plugin-imagemin'

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

ESM default export; CommonJS require is not supported by Rollup plugins.

imagemin (named)

✓ import { imagemin } from 'rollup-plugin-imagemin'

✗ import Imagemin from 'rollup-plugin-imagemin'

Named export 'imagemin' is available as an alternative, but default export is simpler.

imagemin (TypeScript)

✓ import imagemin from 'rollup-plugin-imagemin'

✗ import * as imagemin from 'rollup-plugin-imagemin'

Type definitions are not provided; users may need to declare module or use @types.

Shows basic setup with imagemin plugin for PNG optimization, including include/exclude patterns.

import imagemin from 'rollup-plugin-imagemin'; export default { input: 'src/main.js', output: { dir: 'dist', format: 'es' }, plugins: [ imagemin({ // Options passed to imagemin plugins plugins: ['imagemin-pngquant'], // Only optimize .png files include: ['**/*.png'], // Exclude .svg files exclude: ['**/*.svg'] }) ] };

Debug

Known issues

gotchaPlugin does not automatically install imagemin plugins; you must install them separately (e.g., npm install imagemin-pngquant).

fix

Install required imagemin plugins as project dependencies.

affects: >=0.1.0

deprecatedimagemin v8+ API changes may cause incompatibility; this plugin uses older imagemin API.

fix

Pin imagemin to version 7.x or consider using a more maintained plugin.

affects: 0.4.1

deprecatedPlugin is not actively maintained; last release in 2020. May have issues with newer Rollup versions.

fix

Test with your Rollup version; consider alternatives like rollup-plugin-image-optimize.

affects: >=0.4.1

gotchaThe `include` and `exclude` patterns are not glob patterns but minimatch patterns; unknown behavior with double asterisks.

fix

Use single-level globs like '*.png' or explicit paths.

affects: >=0.1.0
