// tsdown.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from 'tsdown'

export default defineConfig({
  entry: 'src/index.ts',

Reference Files

Task	File
Config file, CLI, entry points	config.md
Format, target, dts, exports, validation	output.md
Shims, unbundle, watch, frameworks, WASM	features.md
Plugins, hooks, lint, programmatic, migration	advanced.md

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.
