@nx/rollup:rollup

Packages a library for different web usages (ESM, CommonJS).

Options can be configured in project.json when defining the executor, or when invoking it. Read more about how to configure targets and executors here: https://nx.dev/reference/project-configuration#targets.

To include dependencies in the output package.json, the dependencies must be installed as a dependencies in the root package.json

package.json
{
  "dependencies": {
    "some-dependency": "^1.0.0"
  }
}

To have dependencies in the be listed in the final package.json of your project, set the updateBuildableProjectDepsInPackageJson option to true. After than dependencies will be added to the peerDependencies field of the output package.json. You can use buildableProjectDepsInPackageJsonType option to change which field the dependencies are output to.

project.json
{
  "targets": {
    "build": {
      "executor": "@nx/rollup:rollup",
      "options": {
        "buildableProjectDepsInPackageJsonType": "dependencies",
        "updateBuildableProjectDepsInPackageJson": true
      }
    }
  }
}
Nx 15 and lower use @nrwl/ instead of @nx/
