Externality

It also contains a webpack and rollup plugin for encapsulating this functionality.

npm i externality
# or
yarn add externality

Rollup plugin

import { rollupExternals } from 'externality'

Webpack plugin

import { webpackExternals } from 'externality'

// {
//   id: 'my-lib',

//   type: 'commonjs'
// }

`isExternal`

import { isExternal } from 'externality'

await isExternal('my-lib', '.')
