rollup-plugin-strip-blocks

library1.0.3jsnpmunverified

Rollup plugin that removes blocks of code delimited by special comment tags (/* develblock:start */ and /* develblock:end */ by default) from bundled output. Useful for stripping development-only code such as verbose console warnings, assertions, or debug logs from production builds. Current version 1.0.3 has no updates since release; low maintenance cadence. Differentiators: simple comment-based approach vs AST-based plugins like rollup-plugin-strip-code; no configuration required for basic use.

Verified usage

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

stripblocks

✓ import stripblocks from 'rollup-plugin-strip-blocks'

✗ const stripblocks = require('rollup-plugin-strip-blocks')

ESM-only package; requires import syntax, not CommonJS require.

start

✓ stripblocks({ start: 'DEV-START', end: 'DEV-END' })

Options are passed as an object with start and end strings for custom comment tags.

end

✓ stripblocks({ end: 'DEV-END' })

✗ stripblocks({ end: 'DEV-END' }) without start

Both start and end must be specified together; if only one is provided, the plugin uses the default for the other.

Basic rollup config using the strip-blocks plugin to remove development blocks from the output bundle.

// rollup.config.js import stripblocks from 'rollup-plugin-strip-blocks'; export default { input: 'src/index.js', output: { file: 'dist/bundle.js', format: 'es', }, plugins: [ stripblocks() ] };

Debug

Known issues

gotchaPlugin does not remove the comment tags themselves; only the code between them is stripped. If you want the comments removed, use an additional plugin like rollup-plugin-terser.

fix

Add a minifier or code removal plugin after strip-blocks.

affects: all

gotchaThe plugin only works with /* */ multi-line comments as delimiters, not // single-line comments.

fix

Ensure your delimiters are block comments: /* develblock:start */ and /* develblock:end */.

affects: all

deprecatedThe plugin uses Rollup's deprecated transform hook internally; may break in future Rollup versions.

fix

Consider using rollup-plugin-strip-code as a more modern alternative.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaDefault comment tags are case-sensitive: /* develblock:start */, not /* DevelBlock:start */.

fix

Use exactly the default tags or override with custom tags via options.

affects: all

Errors

Common errors & fixes

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

Package not installed or not resolved as a devDependency.

fix

Run: npm install --save-dev rollup-plugin-strip-blocks

TypeError: stripblocks is not a function

Incorrect import style; using require() instead of import.

fix

Use: import stripblocks from 'rollup-plugin-strip-blocks'

The plugin is not stripping my code blocks

Comment tags are not matched (e.g., missing / before *, or wrong case).

fix

Ensure blocks are wrapped with /* develblock:start */ and /* develblock:end */ (default). Check for typos.
