          },
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
  plugins: [dts()],
})

<summary>Esbuild</summary> In your build script:

ts
import { build } from 'esbuild'
import dts from 'unplugin-dts/esbuild'

await build({
  entryPoints: ['src/index.ts'],
  format: 'esm',
  outdir: 'dist',
  bundle: true,
  plugins: [dts()],
})

By default, the generated declaration files are following the source structure.

Fortunately, with the help of API Extractor, the plugin can bundle all types into a single file. You just need to install @microsoft/api-extractor and set bundleTypes: true:

pnpm i -D @microsoft/api-extractor

{
  plugins: [dts({ bundleTypes: true })]
}

If you start with official Vite template, you should specify the tsconfigPath:

{
  plugins: [dts({ tsconfigPath: './tsconfig.app.json' })]
}
