history
Project history and usage
dtsroll is a TypeScript declaration-file bundler aimed at package authors. It runs after `tsc` emits `.d.ts` files and bundles declaration dependencies so published package types work for downstream consumers.
Project history
The public repository and npm package appeared in January 2025. The README frames the project around a common TypeScript publishing failure: emitted declarations can preserve imports from private or development-only packages, leaving consumers with unresolved type references.
Adoption history
dtsroll is early-stage but already has both npm and Homebrew distribution. Its npm registry metadata shows releases after the initial 2025 publication, and the Homebrew formula distributes the CLI from the npm tarball.
How it is used
The default workflow is to run `dtsroll` after `tsc`. With no explicit entries, it reads `package.json`, finds declaration entry points from `types` or `exports`, bundles devDependency type imports into the emitted declarations, and leaves runtime dependencies external.
Why package nerds care
dtsroll is package-nerd bait because it exists to fix packaging metadata fallout: `.d.ts` files are part of the package interface, and bad declaration imports break consumers even when runtime JavaScript is fine. It sits near tools such as `pkgroll` and `unplugin-dts` in the TypeScript library-publishing toolchain.
Timeline
- 2025: Public privatenumber/dtsroll repository created.
- 2025: npm registry records initial dtsroll publication.
- 2025-2026: Homebrew formula distributes the CLI from npm release tarballs.
Related projects
- The README explicitly lists `pkgroll` as a related zero-config JavaScript and DTS bundler and documents integration with `unplugin-dts` for Vite builds.
