esbuild Clean Plugin

esbuild-clean-plugin is a utility designed to integrate with esbuild's build process to automatically clean the designated output directory. It's currently stable at version 2.0.0, indicating a mature and maintained state. While a specific release cadence isn't explicitly stated, plugins often follow a release cycle aligned with their host bundler or address specific feature/bug updates as needed. Its primary differentiator lies in its deep integration as an esbuild plugin, leveraging esbuild's internal context to precisely identify and clean generated files. It offers crucial options like `initialCleanPatterns` to clear the directory before a new build, `dry` run mode for testing, and `verbose` output to track deleted files, providing fine-grained control over the build folder lifecycle directly within the esbuild configuration. This makes it a robust solution for ensuring a clean build environment without external scripts.
