parcel-reporter-clean-dist

Reporter to clean files inside dist folder for Parcel V2 (buildSuccess event)

Install

Using npm:

npm install -D parcel-reporter-clean-dist

Using yarn:

yarn add -D parcel-reporter-clean-dist

Using bower:

bower install -D parcel-reporter-clean-dist

Configuration

First of all, add a new reporter in the Parcel config.

.parcelrc

{
  "extends": ["@parcel/config-default"],
  "reporters":  ["...", "parcel-reporter-clean-dist"] // "..." is needed to include all other pipelines
}

That's it! all files except those generated on the current build will be removed from the dist folder.

If you need to apply specific rules for the cleanup process, then define a config in the package.json of the project.

package.json

// example to remove only some specific file
{
  ...
  "cleanDistFiles": ["dist/file1.txt"]
}

// example to remove only files with specific ext
{
  ...
  "cleanDistFiles": ["dist/**/*.js"]
}

// example to exclude from removal some specific file/folder
{
  ...
  "cleanDistFiles": ["!dist/file1.txt", "!dist/embed"]
}

cleanDistFiles

Type: String[]
Default: ${dist folder of the current build}/**/*
Glob or relative path from where we clean files (root path is the current working directory of the process)

Requirements

• Node.js 10.0.0+
