Function: dts()

function dts(
  packageJson: PackageJson,
  external: (string | RegExp)[],
  options?: Partial<PluginOptions>,
): Plugin;

Creates a Vite plugin for generating TypeScript declaration files with intelligent bundling.

This function configures vite-plugin-dts with sensible defaults and automatically determines which packages should be bundled into the generated declaration files. Packages listed in devDependencies are considered for bundling unless they appear in the external array.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
packageJson	PackageJson	The package.json object containing dependency information
external	(string | RegExp)[]	Array of module names that should remain external (not bundled)
options?	Partial<PluginOptions>	Optional overrides for the plugin configuration

Returns

Plugin

A configured Vite plugin instance from vite-plugin-dts

Example

import { dts } from "@nhtio/vite-plugins/dts";
import packageJson from "./package.json";

export default {
  plugins: [
    dts(packageJson, ["vue", "vue-router"], {
      strictOutput: false,
    }),
  ],
};
