🔎📂rollup-plugin-globsync

Rollup plugin to take a list of globs, copy them on the first build, and optionally watch for changes and sync those over afterwards.

Installation

$> npm install rollup-plugin-globsync -D

Usage

In a rollup.config.js file:

import globsync from "rollup-plugin-globsync";

export default {
    // ...
    plugins : [
        globsync({
            globs : [
                "**/*.jpg",
                "!**/*.js",
                "./except/copy/this/one.js"
            ],
            dest : "./dist",
            options : {
                // ...
            }
        })
    ]
}

Watching the filesystem

This plugin will automatically watch the filesystem for changes and copy them to dest whenever rollup itself is started in watch mode.

Watch mode can be enabled for rollup using the CLI

$> rollup --config --watch

or via the API

import { rollup } from "rollup";

import globsync from "rollup-plugin-globsync";

rollup.watch({
    // ...
    plugins : [
        globsync({ /* ... */ })
    ]
});

Configuration

globs

Array of glob patterns to use for finding files to copy. Negation via leading ! is supported, as is re-inclusion after negation. Automatically negates **/node_modules/** and the dest directory.

dest

Directory to copy files into. Defaults to ./dist.

dir

Define the base dir to watch from. Defaults to process.cwd().

clean

Whether or not to remove all files within dist when rollup starts up. Defaults to true. Supports passing an array of globs to only clean certain files, negation via leading ! is supported, as is re-inclusion after negation.

transform

A (file) => file function that allows for programatically changing the destination of files. Defaults to the identify function.

manifest

A string defining a package name for the manifest of files to be copied/watched that you can import in your code, in case your bundled code cares about the static files that are being copied alongside it. Defaults to false.

verbose

A shorthand to enable verbose logging. Defaults to false. Overrides level option if set.

loglevel

Specify the exact level to log at. Defaults to info.

Available levels in order of descreasing chattiness are: silly, verbose, info, silent.
