Loading Files

Consider loading these reference files based on your task:

  • references/config.md - if setting up tsdown.config.ts, CLI, or entry points
  • references/output.md - if configuring output format, target, .d.ts, exports, or validation
  • references/features.md - if using shims, unbundle, watch mode, framework integrations, or WebAssembly
  • references/advanced.md - if writing plugins, using linting/validation, programmatic API, or migrating from tsup

DO NOT load all files at once. Load only what's relevant to your current task.
