Summary
Defines a webpack plugin that accelerates module resolution in webpack by leveraging the known installation layout of a monorepo.
This plugin is not a standalone and depends on external tooling that talks to the package manager of choice to generate the necessary cache file.
Details
Plugin improves resolver performance by assuming that the following data are immutable during a build and can be efficiently precalculated using data from the package manager:
package.json
files in the repo and its installed dependencies, including any used to configure subfoldersHow it was tested
Unit tests for the algorithm.
