rollup-plugin-folder-input

1.0.1 verified Mon Apr 27 auth: no javascript maintenance

Allows Rollup to accept glob patterns in the `input` option instead of explicit file lists. Version 1.0.1 is stable with no releases for several years. Maintained minimally. Differentiates from @rollup/plugin-multi-entry by preserving individual output files rather than merging inputs into a single bundle. Requires separate Rollup installation.

Common errors

error Error: Could not resolve entry module ↓

cause Glob pattern did not match any files or relative path is wrong.

fix

Verify file existence and adjust glob pattern or use absolute path.

error Error: The plugin "folderInput" must be placed before other plugins ↓

cause Plugin order violation: folderInput is not first in plugins array.

fix

Move folderInput() to the beginning of the plugins array.

Warnings

gotcha Plugin must be first in the plugins array; otherwise glob input is not resolved before other plugins run. ↓

fix Place `folderInput()` as the first element in the plugins array.

gotcha Input glob patterns are relative to the current working directory, not the Rollup config file location. ↓

fix Use absolute paths or ensure cwd matches expected root.

gotcha Does not support dynamic imports (`import()`) or code-splitting; each matched file is treated as a separate entry point. ↓

fix Use `@rollup/plugin-multi-entry` if you need merging inputs into a single bundle.

import { folderInput } from 'rollup-plugin-folder-input';

  input: './src/**/*.js',
  output: {
    dir: './dist',
