ensureArray function definition

You will find the below code in cli-main.ts in Tsup source code at line 7


function ensureArray(input: string): string[] {
  return Array.isArray(input) ? input : input.split(',')
}

This function returns input as an array of strings. For that, it first checks if the input is an array using Array.isArray method. If that is true, then the input is returned since it is an array otherwise the input is split based on comma.
