## What it is
An unplugin that generates TypeScript declaration files (*.d.ts) from .ts(x) and .vue source files during library-mode builds. It supports Vite, Rollup, Rolldown, Webpack, Rspack, and Esbuild, and evolved from vite-plugin-dts.

## Use cases
- generate d.ts files when building a TypeScript library with Vite
- emit type declarations for a Vue component library
- bundle declaration files with Rollup or Rolldown
- produce .d.ts output in webpack or rspack builds
- replace vite-plugin-dts with a multi-bundler solution
- generate types for a Svelte library

## When to choose
- you publish a TypeScript/Vue/Svelte library and need declaration files in the build output
- you need one dts plugin that works across Vite, Rollup, Webpack, Rspack, and Esbuild
- you are migrating from vite-plugin-dts and want broader bundler support

## When to avoid
- you build applications rather than libraries and don't need to ship .d.ts files
- your project is plain JavaScript with no TypeScript types
- you need a bundler outside the supported list (e.g., esbuild-only exotic setups may need checking)
