An esbuild plugin to clean your build folder.

Installation

npm install esbuild-clean-plugin

Requirements

  • Node 14.15.0 (LTS) or later.
  • esbuild 0.11.18 or later.

Usage

import { build } from 'esbuild';
import { cleanPlugin } from 'esbuild-clean-plugin';

build({
  bundle: true,
  entryPoints: [path.resolve(__dirname, 'index.js')],
  metafile: true,
  outdir: path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist'),
  watch: true,
  plugins: [cleanPlugin({
      // Plugin options
  })],
});

Note: The metafile and outdir options must be set for the plugin to have any effect.

Options

  • dry (default false) - Run the plugin in dry mode, not deleting anything. Most useful together with the verbose option to see what would have been deleted.
  • initialCleanPatterns (default ['**/*']) - File patterns to remove on plugin setup, useful to clean the build directory before creating new files. Pass an empty array to disable it.
  • verbose (default false) - Print all files that have been deleted after each run.
