@rollup/plugin-node-resolve helps Rollup find modules installed by npm. It intelligently locates third-party dependencies, enabling developers to import them directly into their Rollup bundles without specifying full paths. This simplifies the bundling process, especially when working with complex project structures and numerous dependencies. By resolving Node.js-style module resolution, it ensures that Rollup can seamlessly integrate with existing Node.js ecosystems and libraries.
@rollup/plugin-node-resolve releases varied significantly. Frequent releases occurred throughout 2020 and 2021.
