Generate a `.d.ts` module for both `.es` and `.cjs` entry points when using Vite's [lib mode](https://vitejs.dev/guide/build.html#library-mode). Instead of generating type definitions from your TypeScript source code (and bundling them), it assumes you will publish your source code, which means it can re-export from your TypeScript entry module. This improves performance drastically.

 

### FAQ

- **Do I have to publish my `src` folder for this to work?**  

  Yes. For libraries, you generally need to do that anyway, if you publish sourcemaps (which you should).

- **Will this bundle my types?**  

  No. It merely re-exports from your library's entry module.

 

### Usage

See the [`./demo/vite.config.js`](https://github.com/alloc/vite-dts/blob/master/demo/vite.config.js) file for more details.

```ts

import dts from 'vite-dts'

export default {

  plugins: [dts()],

}

```
