library0.0.5jsnpmunverified

A Rollup/Vite plugin that automatically installs missing dependencies during the build process. Version 0.0.5 (stable, no recent updates) integrates into Vite or Rollup config and triggers npm/yarn install when an imported module is not found. Differentiator: eliminates manual install steps during development, but limited to simple use cases and may not handle edge cases like version conflicts. Alternative to manual dependency management or tools like pnpm.

Verified usage

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

autoInstallPlugin
✓ import { autoInstallPlugin } from 'rollup-plugin-install'
✗ const { autoInstallPlugin } = require('rollup-plugin-install')
ESM import is preferred; CJS require works but may have issues in strict ESM projects.
default import (autoInstallPlugin)
✓ import autoInstallPlugin from 'rollup-plugin-install'
✗ const autoInstallPlugin = require('rollup-plugin-install')
Both named and default imports export the same function; default import is simpler.

Configures Vite to automatically install missing dependencies using npm.

// vite.config.js import { defineConfig } from 'vite'; import { autoInstallPlugin } from 'rollup-plugin-install'; export default defineConfig({ plugins: [ autoInstallPlugin({ bin: 'npm' }), ], });
