vite-plugin-license

library0.0.2jsnpmunverified

Vite plugin to add license banners to bundled output. Current stable version is 0.0.2 (November 2025), released on a cadence of roughly every 7 months. It is a thin wrapper around rollup-plugin-license that resolves compatibility issues with Vite's build pipeline. Key differentiators: seamless integration with Vite's configuration and plugin system; supports customizable banner comment style and content from file or inline; includes TypeScript type definitions. Compared to using rollup-plugin-license directly, this plugin handles Vite-specific nuances such as virtual module IDs and hooks.

Verified usage

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

default

✓ import license from 'vite-plugin-license'

✗ import { license } from 'vite-plugin-license'

The default export is a function; named export does not exist.

LicenseOptions

✓ import type { LicenseOptions } from 'vite-plugin-license'

Type import is needed when using TypeScript for the plugin options.

VitePluginLicense

✓ import type { VitePluginLicense } from 'vite-plugin-license'

Type import for the plugin instance type, rarely needed directly.

Creates a Vite config with license plugin that adds a banner from LICENCE file.

import path from 'node:path'; import { defineConfig } from 'vite'; import license from 'vite-plugin-license'; export default defineConfig({ plugins: [ license({ banner: { commentStyle: 'regular', content: { file: path.join(__dirname, 'LICENSE'), }, }, }), ], });

Debug

Known issues

breakingPeer dependency requirement: vite ^7.1.12. This plugin will not work with older Vite versions.

fix

Upgrade vite to ^7.1.12 or later.

affects: >=0.0.1

deprecatedIf you previously used rollup-plugin-license directly in Vite, that approach may have issues with virtual modules; this plugin is the recommended replacement.

fix

Replace rollup-plugin-license with vite-plugin-license.

affects: >=0.0.1

gotchaThe default import is not a named export. Using 'import { license }' will result in undefined.

fix

Use 'import license from 'vite-plugin-license''.

affects: >=0.0.1

Errors

TypeError: license is not a function

Using a named import instead of default import.

fix

Change to 'import license from 'vite-plugin-license''.
