TypeScript Library Development

Patterns for authoring high-quality TypeScript libraries, extracted from studying unocss, shiki, unplugin, vite, vitest, vueuse, zod, trpc, drizzle-orm, and more.

When to Use

  • Starting a new TypeScript library (single or monorepo)
  • Setting up package.json exports for dual CJS/ESM
  • Configuring tsconfig for library development
  • Choosing build tools (tsdown, unbuild)
  • Designing type-safe APIs (builder, factory, plugin patterns)
  • Writing advanced TypeScript types
  • Setting up vitest for library testing
  • Configuring release workflow and CI

Key Principles

  • ESM-first: "type": "module" with .mjs outputs
  • Dual format: always support both CJS and ESM consumers
  • moduleResolution: "Bundler" for modern TypeScript
  • tsdown for most builds, unbuild for complex cases
  • Smart defaults: detect environment, don't force config
  • Tree-shakeable: lazy getters, proper sideEffects: false
