rollup-plugin-swc3

library0.12.1jsnpmunverified

Rollup plugin that uses SWC (a Rust-based transpiler) for fast ESNext/TypeScript compilation. Version 0.12.1 is current (released Oct 2023), targeting Node >=16 with peer deps on @swc/core >=1.2.165 and Rollup 2/3/4. Differentiators vs other SWC Rollup plugins: built-in minification (swcMinify), tsconfig/jsconfig reading, viteMinify helper, ESM-only exports, and TypeScript declarations. Actively maintained with frequent releases. Replaces rollup-plugin-typescript2, @rollup/plugin-typescript, and @rollup/plugin-babel.

Known issues

breakingMinimum Node version bumped from 12 to 16 in 0.12.0

fix

affects: >=0.9.1

gotchaModule resolution only applies to files within include/exclude patterns (since 0.11.0).

fix

Ensure all source files are covered by include option, or set include to ['**/*.ts'].

affects: >=0.11.0
