Collection of rollup plugins

• utils - utilities for other plugins, including options and multi-output handling.
• plugin-clean - lightweight, reliable cleaning of the build directory.
• plugin-copy - files copying with minimalistic config, watch mode and glob support.
• plugin-html - asset injection into HTML files with optional minification, beautification, and more.
• plugin-serve - Hono-based dev-server with an extensible API.
• plugin-binify - makes an output file executable with shebang and file attributes.
• plugin-externals - declares external dependencies with reasonable defaults and customizable logic.
• plugin-angularjs-template-cache - builds AngularJS template cache.
• plugin-exec - Executes some code when the bundle you are building is finished.
• plugin-mangle - mangles (minifies) specific variables and properties based on a configurable prefix.
• plugin-script-loader - mimics Webpack's script-loader for inlining raw scripts in order or emitting them as separate assets.
• plugin-size - reports the size of generated artifacts with compression and delta tracking.
• plugin-prebundle - prebundles external npm dependencies into a single hashed chunk for faster dev/serve builds.
• plugin-strip-comments - strips comments from generated chunks with full sourcemap support, configurable by comment type (jsdoc, regular, license, annotation).

• Official Rollup plugins
• Awesome Rollup
• Modern Web

• @rollup/plugin-node-resolve - if you have npm packages installed you probably need this as a first plugin
• @rollup/plugin-commonjs - and if you have at least one file in legacy commonjs format then you need this one
• @rollup/plugin-json - allows to import JSON files, do not forget to use resolveJsonModule in tsconfig.json if you are using TypeScript
• @rollup/plugin-terser - minifies output js files, must-have for production browser builds

• rollup-plugin-typescript2 - best to use with TypeScript, slightly less effort to use compared to official @rollup/plugin-typescript, faster incremental builds
• rollup-plugin-preprocess - despite being version 0.0.4 and not being updated for many years, flawlessly preprocesses files using preprocess syntax, relatively safe compared to @rollup/plugin-replace which is good mainly in case you don't have access to the source code of a third-party library but still want to replace some expression there
• rollup-plugin-styles - if you want to bundle CSS/SCSS/SASS/LESS/Stylus and want to use PostCSS plugins; I recommend using it with postcss-lightningcss
• rollup-plugin-glob-import if you want to import files using a glob pattern. I would say it is an antipattern and vendor lock-in in most cases but sometimes it is extremely useful, especially in migrating old code bases and building component showcases.
• rollup-plugin-html - allows importing html files as strings in those rare cases when you need it. Consider using wildcard module declarations if you are using TypeScript.

If you want to author a library and are happy with a relatively simple build give a chance to pkgbld.
