Getting started

Use this plugin with the bundler Rollup.

Installation

$ npm i rollup-plugin-empty-dir -D

Usage

// rollup.config.js

import { emptyDir } from 'rollup-plugin-empty-dir'

export default {
  input: 'src/index.js',
  output: {
    dir: 'dist',
    format: 'esm',
  },
  plugins: [emptyDir()]
}

This Rollup plugin has no options, it just empties the dir folder during the build process, right before Rollup writes any files.
