rollup-plugin-node-externals

A Rollup/Vite plugin that automatically marks Node.js built-in modules and npm dependencies (dependencies, peerDependencies, optionalDependencies, or devDependencies) as external in your bundle configuration. Version 9.0.1 is the latest stable release, released monthly, requiring Node.js >= 24 and Rollup >= 4 or Vite >= 5. It is zero-dependency, lightweight (<10 kB), and supports monorepos and all package managers. Compared to alternatives like rollup-plugin-auto-external, it offers finer-grained control over which dependency categories to externalize and includes options for handling the node: prefix on builtins.
