rollup-typescript-starter-lib

This repo contains a bare-bones example of how to create a library using Rollup, including importing a module from node_modules and converting it from CommonJS.

We're creating a library called how-long-till-lunch, which usefully tells us how long we have to wait until lunch, using the ms package:

console.log('it will be lunchtime in ' + howLongTillLunch());

Getting started

Clone this repository and install its dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/zollero/rollup-typescript-starter-lib.git
cd rollup-typescript-starter-lib
npm install

npm run build builds the library to dist, generating three files:

  • dist/how-long-till-lunch.cjs.js A CommonJS bundle, suitable for use in Node.js, that requires the external dependency. This corresponds to the "main" field in package.json
  • dist/how-long-till-lunch.esm.js an ES module bundle, suitable for use in other people's libraries and applications, that imports the external dependency. This corresponds to the "module" field in package.json
  • dist/how-long-till-lunch.umd.js a UMD build, suitable for use in any environment (including the browser, as a <script> tag), that includes the external dependency. This corresponds to the "browser" field in package.json

npm run dev builds the library, then keeps rebuilding it whenever the source files change using rollup-watch.

npm test builds the library, then tests it.
