Options

Properties

build?

optional build?: boolean;

Defined in: node_modules/.pnpm/rolldown-plugin-dts@0.22.5_@typescript+native-preview@7.0.0-dev.20260320.1_rolldown@1.0_c8635777ee4394d71c36443ab7aec783/node_modules/rolldown-plugin-dts/dist/index.d.mts:83

Build mode for the TypeScript compiler:

If true, the plugin will use tsc -b to build the project and all referenced projects before emitting .d.ts files.
If false, the plugin will use tsc to emit .d.ts files without building referenced projects.

Default

false

Inherited from

RolldownPluginDtsOptions.build

cjsDefault?

optional cjsDefault?: boolean;

Determines how the default export is emitted.

If set to true, and you are only exporting a single item using export default ..., the output will use export = ... instead of the standard ES module syntax. This is useful for compatibility with CommonJS.

Inherited from

RolldownPluginDtsOptions.cjsDefault

cjsReexport?

optional cjsReexport?: boolean;

Defined in: src/config/types.ts:65

When building dual ESM+CJS formats, generate a .d.cts re-export stub instead of running a full second TypeScript compilation pass.

The stub re-exports everything from the corresponding .d.mts file, ensuring CJS and ESM consumers share the same type declarations. This eliminates the TypeScript "dual module hazard" where separate .d.cts and .d.mts declarations cause TS2352 ("neither type sufficiently overlaps") errors when casting between types derived from the same class.

Only applies when building both esm and cjs formats simultaneously.

Default

false

compilerOptions?

optional compilerOptions?: CompilerOptions;

Override the compilerOptions specified in tsconfig.json.

See

https://www.typescriptlang.org/tsconfig/#compilerOptions

Inherited from

RolldownPluginDtsOptions.compilerOptions

cwd?

optional cwd?: string;

The directory in which the plugin will search for the tsconfig.json file.

Inherited from

RolldownPluginDtsOptions.cwd

dtsInput?

optional dtsInput?: boolean;

Set to true if your entry files are .d.ts files instead of .ts files.

When enabled, the plugin will skip generating a .d.ts file for the entry point.

Inherited from

RolldownPluginDtsOptions.dtsInput

eager?

optional eager?: boolean;

If true, the plugin will prepare all files listed in tsconfig.json for tsc or vue-tsc.

This is especially useful when you have a single tsconfig.json for multiple projects in a monorepo.

Inherited from

RolldownPluginDtsOptions.eager

emitDtsOnly?

optional emitDtsOnly?: boolean;

If true, the plugin will emit only .d.ts files and remove all other output chunks.

This is especially useful when generating .d.ts files for the CommonJS format as part of a separate build step.

Inherited from

RolldownPluginDtsOptions.emitDtsOnly

emitJs?

optional emitJs?: boolean;

If true, the plugin will emit .d.ts files for .js files as well. This is useful when you want to generate type definitions for JavaScript files with JSDoc comments.

Enabled by default when allowJs in compilerOptions is true. This option is only used when Options.oxc is false.

Inherited from

RolldownPluginDtsOptions.emitJs

incremental?

optional incremental?: boolean;

If your tsconfig.json has references option, rolldown-plugin-dts will use tsc -b to build the project and all referenced projects before emitting .d.ts files.

In such case, if this option is true, rolldown-plugin-dts will write down all built files into your disk, including .tsbuildinfo and other built files. This is equivalent to running tsc -b in your project.

Otherwise, if this option is false, rolldown-plugin-dts will write built files only into memory and leave a small footprint in your disk.

Enabling this option will decrease the build time by caching previous build results. This is helpful when you have a large project with multiple referenced projects.

By default, incremental is true if your tsconfig has incremental or tsBuildInfoFile enabled.

This option is only used when Options.oxc is false.

Inherited from

RolldownPluginDtsOptions.incremental

newContext?

optional newContext?: boolean;

If true, the plugin will create a new isolated context for each build, ensuring that previously generated .d.ts code and caches are not reused.

By default, the plugin may reuse internal caches or incremental build artifacts to speed up repeated builds. Enabling this option forces a clean context, guaranteeing that all type definitions are generated from scratch.

Default

false

Inherited from

RolldownPluginDtsOptions.newContext

oxc?

optional oxc?: boolean | Omit<IsolatedDeclarationsOptions, "sourcemap">;

If true, the plugin will generate .d.ts files using Oxc, which is significantly faster than the TypeScript compiler.

This option is automatically enabled when isolatedDeclarations in compilerOptions is set to true.

Inherited from

RolldownPluginDtsOptions.oxc

parallel?

optional parallel?: boolean;

If true, the plugin will launch a separate process for tsc or vue-tsc. This enables processing multiple projects in parallel.

Inherited from

RolldownPluginDtsOptions.parallel

resolver?

optional resolver?: "oxc" | "tsc";

Specifies a resolver to resolve type definitions, especially for node_modules.

'oxc': Uses Oxc's module resolution, which is faster and more efficient.
'tsc': Uses TypeScript's native module resolution, which may be more compatible with complex setups, but slower.

Default

'oxc'

Inherited from

RolldownPluginDtsOptions.resolver

sideEffects?

optional sideEffects?: boolean;

Indicates whether the generated .d.ts files have side effects.

If set to true, Rolldown will treat the .d.ts files as having side effects during tree-shaking.
If set to false, Rolldown may consider the .d.ts files as side-effect-free, potentially removing them if they are not imported.

Default

false

Inherited from

RolldownPluginDtsOptions.sideEffects

sourcemap?

optional sourcemap?: boolean;

If true, the plugin will generate declaration maps (.d.ts.map) for .d.ts files.

Inherited from

RolldownPluginDtsOptions.sourcemap

tsconfig?

optional tsconfig?: string | boolean;

The path to the tsconfig.json file.

If set to false, the plugin will ignore any tsconfig.json file. You can still specify compilerOptions directly in the options.

Default

'tsconfig.json'

Inherited from

RolldownPluginDtsOptions.tsconfig

tsconfigRaw?

optional tsconfigRaw?: Omit<TsConfigJson, "compilerOptions">;

Pass a raw tsconfig.json object directly to the plugin.

See

https://www.typescriptlang.org/tsconfig

Inherited from

RolldownPluginDtsOptions.tsconfigRaw

tsgo?

optional tsgo?: boolean | TsgoOptions;

[Experimental] Enables DTS generation using tsgo.

To use this option, make sure @typescript/native-preview is installed as a dependency, or provide a custom path to the tsgo binary using the path option.

Note: This option is not yet recommended for production environments. tsconfigRaw and isolatedDeclarations options will be ignored when this option is enabled.

// Use tsgo from `@typescript/native-preview` dependency
tsgo: true

// Use custom tsgo path (e.g., managed by Nix)
tsgo: {
  path: '/path/to/tsgo'
}

Inherited from

RolldownPluginDtsOptions.tsgo

tsMacro?

optional tsMacro?: boolean;

If true, the plugin will generate .d.ts files using @ts-macro/tsc.

Inherited from

RolldownPluginDtsOptions.tsMacro

vue?

optional vue?: boolean;

If true, the plugin will generate .d.ts files using vue-tsc.

RolldownPluginDtsOptions.vue
