Configuration option is out of date in "Rollup.js Tutorial, Part 1: How to Set Up Smaller, More Efficient JavaScript Bundling Using Rollup"

What's wrong?

The rollup.config.js in the tutorial is out of date.

Error Steps

The tutorial, Rollup.js Tutorial, Part 1: How to Set Up Smaller, More Efficient JavaScript Bundling Using Rollup using the following configuration option fails

export default {
  entry: "src/scripts/main.js",
  dest: "build/js/main.min.js",
  format: "iife",
  sourceMap: "inline"
};

with following messages.

How to fix it

Rollup.JS documentation has a different format for the rollup.config.js and the following works for the tutorial

export default {
  input: "src/scripts/main.js",
  output: {
    file: "build/js/main.min.js",
    format: "iife",
    sourceMap: "inline"
  }
};

With the new configuration above,

Rollup Version

"rollup": "^0.57.1"

@dance2die This tutorial is about an older version of Rollup, unfortunately. However, I'd really appreciate a PR on the article to update that config! https://github.com/jlengstorf/code.lengstorf.com/blob/master/content/blog/learn-rollup-js.md

Thanks for reading and sending in feedback!
