webpack-local-libs

Utilities for getting webpack to resolve/alias packages from local paths relative to the current directory

Installation

Requires nodejs.

$ npm install webpack-local-libs

Examples

// webpack.config.js

var getWebpackLocalLibEnhancer = require('webpack-local-libs');

var localLibMap = {
  'js': {
    'libraryA': '../someDir/someDir2',
    'libraryB': '../../anotherDir/mainFile.js'
  },
  'css': {
    'libraryC': '../assetDir'
  }
}

var localLibsEnabled = process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production';

var webpackLocalLibEnhancer = getWebpackLocalLibEnhancer(__dirname, localLibMap, localLibsEnabled);

Note: for Webpack 2 support, you can use the following:

var webpackLocalLibEnhancer = getWebpackLocalLibEnhancer(__dirname, localLibMap, localLibsEnabled, { webpack2: true});

module.exports = {
  
  // creates the resolve object for you (existing aliases are preserved unless they are overriden):
  // { alias: {
  //    libraryA: path.resolve(__dirname, '../someDir/someDir2'),
  //    libraryB: path.resolve(__dirname, '../../anotherDir/mainFile.js'),
  //    libraryC: path.resolve(__dirname, '../assetDir')
  // } }
  // Note that webpackLocalLibEnhancer.enhanceResolveRootAndAlias() exists for convenience
  
  resolve: webpackLocalLibEnhancer.enhanceResolveAlias({}), // existing resolve argument can be ommitted
  
  // creates the resolveLoader object for you:
  // { root: path.join(__dirname, 'node_modules') };
  
  resolveLoader: webpackLocalLibEnhancer.enhanceResolveRoot({}), // existing resolveLoader argument can be ommitted
  
  // creates include entries for you (removes filenames if they exist at the end):
  // { include: [
  //    path.resolve(__dirname, 'src'),
  //    path.resolve(__dirname, '../someDir/someDir2'),
  //    path.resolve(__dirname, '../../anotherDir')
  // ]}
