@gasket/plugin-webpack

Adds Webpack support to your application.

Installation

New apps

gasket create <app-name> --plugins @gasket/plugin-webpack

Existing apps

npm i @gasket/plugin-webpack webpack

Modify plugins section of your gasket.config.js:

module.exports = {
  plugins: {
    add: [
+      '@gasket/plugin-webpack'
    ]
  }
}

Configuration

The webpack plugin is configured using the gasket.config.js file.

First, add it to the plugins section of your gasket.config.js:

module.exports = {
  plugins: {
    add: ['@gasket/plugin-webpack']
  }
}

You can optionally define a specific user webpack config using the webpack property. This configuration will be smartly merged into the application's current webpack configuration.

module.exports = {
  plugins: {
    add: ['@gasket/plugin-webpack']
  },
  webpack: {
    performance: {
      maxAssetSize: 20000
    }
  }
};

This config can be further modified by interacting with the webpackConfig lifecycle.

API

webpack exposes an init function called initWebpack.

initWebpack

Use this to initialize the webpack lifecycles in a consuming plugin.

const { initWebpack } = require('@gasket/plugin-webpack');

/**
* Creates the webpack config
* @param  {Gasket} gasket The Gasket API
* @param {Object} webpackConfig Initial webpack config
* @param {Object} data Additional info
* @returns {Object} Final webpack config
*/
const config = initWebpack(gasket, webpackConfig, data);

Lifecycles

webpackChain

DEPRECATED - we suggest using the webpackConfig lifecycle instead; this may be removed in a future version.

Executed before the webpack lifecycle, allows you to easily create the initial webpack configuration using a chaining syntax that is provided by the webpack-chain library. The resulting configuration is then merged with:

WebPack configuration that is specified in the gasket.config.js as webpack object.

The result of this will be passed into the webpack hook as base configuration.

webpack

DEPRECATED - we suggest using the webpackConfig lifecycle instead; this may be removed in a future version.

Executed after webpack-chain lifecycle. It receives the full webpack config as first argument. It can be used to add additional configurations to webpack.

const { DefinePlugin } = require('webpack');

/**
 * @param {Gasket} gasket The gasket API
 * @param {Object} config webpack configuration
 * @return {Object} webpack config partial
 */
function webpackHook(gasket, config) {
  return {
    plugins: [
      new DefinePlugin({
        MEANING_OF_LIFE: 42
      })
    ]
  };
}

webpackConfig

Executed after webpack-chain and webpack, it receives four parameters:

The gasket API
A webpack config object
A context object with the following properties:
- webpack - The webpack API.
- webpackMerge - The webpack-merge API, version 4.
- ...additionalContext - Additional context may be exposed. For example, in next.js apps, the next.js webpack config options are included.

A hook should return a new webpack config object derived from the original. The usage of the webpack-merge API is recommended when doing so since properly handling the overloaded types within webpack config properties can be tricky. We recommend avoiding webpack-merge methods that have been deprecated in version 5 since a future version of this plugin may update to a new breaking version of webpack-merge.

function webpackConfigHook(
  gasket,
  config,
  { isServer, webpack, webpackMerge }
) {
  return isServer
    ? config
    : webpackMerge.merge(config, {
      plugins: [
        new webpack.DefinePlugin({
          MEANING_OF_LIFE: 42
        })
      ]
    });
}
