Automatically empty the `output.dir` folder before writing a new bundle. Useful for code splitting, where chunks with different hashes can accumulate from multiple builds.

## Getting started 

Use this plugin with the bundler [Rollup](https://rollupjs.org/guide/en/).

### Installation

```sh

$ npm i rollup-plugin-empty-dir -D

```

## Usage 

```javascript

// rollup.config.js

import { emptyDir } from 'rollup-plugin-empty-dir'

export default {

  input: 'src/index.js',

  output: {

    dir: 'dist',

    format: 'esm',

  },

  plugins: [emptyDir()]

}

```

This Rollup plugin has no options, it just empties the `dir` folder during the build process, right before Rollup writes any files.

## Features 

### TypeScript Definitions 

TypeScript definitions are included, so no need to install an additional `@types` library!
