rollup-plugin-tsc

library1.1.16jsnpmunverified

Zero-config Rollup plugin for TypeScript transpilation using the official tsc compiler (not Babel). Version 1.1.16 is current, with infrequent releases. Simple setup by passing a tsconfig object directly; no separate tsconfig.json required. Lightweight alternative to @rollup/plugin-typescript, offering more control over compiler options but less ecosystem integration.

Verified usage

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

default

✓ import tsc from 'rollup-plugin-tsc'

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

ESM default import. In CommonJS, use const { default: tsc } = require('rollup-plugin-tsc').

tsc

✓ import tsc from 'rollup-plugin-tsc'

✗ import { tsc } from 'rollup-plugin-tsc'

Plugin is a default export, not named.

Minimal Rollup config with rollup-plugin-tsc transpiling TypeScript using inline tsconfig.

// rollup.config.js import tsc from 'rollup-plugin-tsc'; export default { input: 'src/main.ts', output: { file: 'dist/main.js', format: 'cjs' }, plugins: [ tsc({ compilerOptions: { target: 'es2019', module: 'esnext', strict: true, esModuleInterop: true }, }), ], };

Debug

Known issues

gotchaPlugin does not emit declaration files (.d.ts). Use tsc --declaration separately or another plugin like rollup-plugin-dts.

fix

Add a separate step to run tsc --emitDeclarationOnly or use rollup-plugin-dts.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaPlugin uses tsc internally; tsc must be installed as a peer dependency. Missing tsc can cause cryptic errors.

fix

Install TypeScript: npm install --save-dev typescript

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaThe plugin only compiles .ts files that are imported in the Rollup bundle. Files not reached by imports are not compiled (like tsc --noEmit does).

fix

Ensure all .ts files are imported or use a separate tsc check for type errors.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaCompiler options like 'rootDir' and 'outDir' can conflict with Rollup's output; may cause unexpected errors.

fix

Avoid setting rootDir/outDir in tsconfig; let Rollup handle output.

affects: >=1.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error: Could not find a TypeScript project. Use --project or pass tsconfig path.

No tsconfig provided via plugin options or --project flag.

fix

Pass tsconfig object to tsc() plugin call.

TypeError: tsc is not a function

CommonJS require without accessing default export.

fix

Use const { default: tsc } = require('rollup-plugin-tsc'); or switch to ESM import.
