JUST TESTING AN IDEA!

More and more often, I find myself sharing Typescript code with ChatGPT in order to kick around an idea.

Since I write modern, tree-shakable code, most of my projects have a LOT of source files, so this can be a real pain!

I use Rollup to build my projects, so I thought it would be cool to add a build output that consolidates all my Typescript into a single file without transpiling it to JS. Bit it turns out Rollup doesn't natively support that.

Opportunity knocks! 💡

The idea is to create a Rollup plugin that...

Uses whatever other settings you are already using regarding entry points etc.
Consolidates all of your TS files into a single, bundled file.
Eliminates internal imports & consolidates external imports to the top of the file.

Here's an exploration of the idea with ChatGPT o1-mini.
