Eject config?

[egoist]

This is a Feature Request.

I wonder if you're interested in implementing the eject webpack config feature (similar to what create-react-app does):

config.entry('client').add('src/index.js')

config.plugin('define')
  .use(webpack.DefinePlugin, [{foo: 'foo'}])
  .outputName('webpack.DefinePlugin')

config.toString() // or maybe config.toConfig({ string: true })
//=> '{"entry":{"client":["src/index.js"]},"plugins":[new webpack.DefinePlugin({\"foo\": \"foo\"})]}'

I think this is a reasonable feature. As a start, you could probably do something similar to what is happening in Neutrino when we call --inspect:

Vue CLI have just implemented an even better version of inspect, in:

I think it seems reasonable to add javascript-stringify as a dependency of webpack-chain, and move this type of functionality into it, rather than making every consumer re-invent the wheel.

Fixed by #53, published in webpack-chain v4.7.0.
Many thanks to @yyx990803 for the PR!

For anyone subscribed to this issue for use with Neutrino...

Neutruno v8.3.0 has just been released, which backports the upcoming Neutrino 9's improved --inspect feature, as --inspect-new.

Didn't work for me - here's a more general way:
