rollup-plugin-strip-banner

library3.1.0jsnpmunverified

Rollup plugin to remove banner comments (e.g., license headers) from module files before bundling. Current stable version is 3.1.0, released with support for Rollup 4.x. Released irregularly, with major version bumps aligning with Rollup peer dependency updates. Key differentiator: lightweight, focused solely on banner stripping without additional transforms. Alternatives like rollup-plugin-terser or manual regex require more configuration. Ships TypeScript types.

Verified usage

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

stripBanner

✓ import stripBanner from 'rollup-plugin-strip-banner'

✗ import { stripBanner } from 'rollup-plugin-strip-banner'

Default export; named import causes undefined. ESM since v3 (supports ESM/CJS).

stripBanner (CommonJS)

✓ const stripBanner = require('rollup-plugin-strip-banner')

✗ const { stripBanner } = require('rollup-plugin-strip-banner')

CJS require returns the default export as a function; destructuring fails.

stripBanner with TypeScript

✓ import stripBanner from 'rollup-plugin-strip-banner'

TypeScript types are included; works with ESM imports. For CJS projects, ensure esModuleInterop is enabled.

Configures rollup-plugin-strip-banner in a Rollup config file with include/exclude patterns.

// rollup.config.js import stripBanner from 'rollup-plugin-strip-banner'; import { defineConfig } from 'rollup'; export default defineConfig({ input: 'src/index.js', output: { file: 'dist/index.js', format: 'esm' }, plugins: [ stripBanner({ include: '**/*.js', exclude: 'node_modules/**' }) ] });

Debug

Known issues

deprecatedrollup-plugin-strip-banner is deprecated; consider using a custom Rollup transform instead.

fix

Use rollup-plugin-strip-banner at your own risk or implement a simple plugin that removes banner comments via regex or AST.

affects: >=3.0.0

breakingVersion 3.0.0 drops support for Node <14.

fix

Upgrade Node to version 14 or later.

affects: >=3.0.0

breakingVersion 2.0.0 drops support for Node <10 and Rollup <2.

fix

Use Rollup >=2 and Node >=10.

affects: >=2.0.0 <3.0.0

gotchaThe plugin may incorrectly remove banners that are not at the very top of the file (e.g., leading comments after shebang).

fix

Ensure banners are at the top of the module before you trust stripping; consider verifying output.

affects: *

breakingVersion 1.0.0 includes a fix for sourcemap generation; previous versions may produce faulty sourcemaps.

fix

Upgrade to >=1.0.0 to avoid sourcemap issues.

affects: <1.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error: Cannot find module 'rollup-plugin-strip-banner'

Deprecation: the package is not actively maintained and may have been removed from npm or not installed.

fix

npm install rollup-plugin-strip-banner --save-dev

TypeError: stripBanner is not a function

Using named import 'stripBanner' instead of default import.

fix

Use import stripBanner from 'rollup-plugin-strip-banner' (default import) instead of import { stripBanner } from 'rollup-plugin-strip-banner' (named import).

The 'include' and 'exclude' options are not working as expected

Misunderstanding of minimatch patterns or order of precedence.

fix

Ensure include/exclude follow minimatch glob patterns; exclude overrides include. Use absolute or relative paths correctly.
