internal webpack plugins
These is a list of plugins, which are internally used by webpack. You should only care about them if you are building a own compiler based on webpack, or introspec the internals.
categories of internal plugins:
- environment
- compiler
- entry
- output
- source
- optimize
Plugins affecting the environment of the compiler.
Applies node.js style filesystem to the compiler.
Plugins affecting the compiler
Adds a cache to the compiler, where modules are cached.
You can pass an cache object, where the modules are cached. Elsewise one is created per plugin instance.
Hook into the compiler to extract progress information. The handler must have the signature function(percentage, message). It's called with 0 <= percentage <= 1. percentage == 0 indicates the start. percentage == 1 indicates the end.
Plugins, which add entry chunks to the compilation.
Adds a entry chunk on compilation. The chunk is named chunkName and contains only one module (plus dependencies). The module is resolved from request in context (absolute path).
Adds a entry chunk on compilation. The chunk is named chunkName and contains a module for each item in the requests array (plus dependencies). Each item in requests is resolved in context (absolute path).
Prefetches request and dependencies to enables more parallel compilation. It doesn't create any chunk. The module is resolved from request in context (absolute path).
Each emitted module is wrapped in a function.
options are the output options.
If options.pathinfo is set, each module function is annotated with a comment containing the module identifier shortened to context (absolute path).
Chunks are wrapped into JSONP-calls. A loading algorithm is included in entry chunks. It loads chunks by adding a <script> tag.
options are the output options.
options.jsonpFunction is the JSONP function.
options.publicPath is uses as path for loading the chunks.
options.chunkFilename is the filename under that chunks are expected.
Chunks are wrapped into node.js modules exporting the bundled modules. The entry chunks loads chunks by requiring them.
options are the output options.
options.chunkFilename is the filename under that chunks are expected.
The entries chunks are decorated to form a library name of type type.
Chunks are loaded by importScripts. Else it's similar to JsonpTemplatePlugin.
options are the output options.
Decorates the module template by wrapping each module in a eval annotated with // @sourceURL.
Decorates the templates by generating a SourceMap for each chunk.
context Names are shorted in the SourceMap according to this directory
sourceMapFilename the filename template of the SourceMap. [hash], [name], [id], [file] and [filebase] are replaced. If this argument is missing, the SourceMap will be inlined as DataUrl.
Plugins affecting the source code of modules.
Make __webpack_public_path__, __webpack_require__, __webpack_modules__, __webpack_chunk_load__ accessable. Ensures that require.valueOf and require.onError are not processed by other plugins.
Currently useless. Ensures compatiblitly with other module loaders.
Offers a pseudo console if it is not availible.
Try to evaluate expressions in if(...) and replace it with true/false.
If name is used in a module it is filled by a module loaded by require(<request>).
Provide stuff that is normally available in node.js modules.
It also ensures that module is filled with some node.js stuff if you use it.
Provide stuff that is normally available in require.js.
require[js].config is removed. require.version is 0.0.0. requirejs.onError is mapped to require.onError.
This module adds stuff from node.js that is not avalible in non-node.js environments.
It adds polyfills for process, console, Buffer and global if used. It also binds the buildin node.js replacement modules.
The plugins should be used if you run the bundle in a node.js environment.
If ensures that native modules are loaded correctly even if bundled.
Provides AMD-style define and require to modules. Also bind require.amd, define.amd and __webpack_amd_options__ to the options passed as parameter.
Provides CommonJs-style require to modules.
Provides require.context. The parameter modulesDirectories and extensions are used to find alternative requests for files. It's useful to provide the same arrays as you provide to the resolver.
Provides require.ensure.
Provides require.include.
Merge chunks limit chunk count is lower than options.maxChunks.
The overhead for each chunks is provided by options.chunkOverhead or defaults to 10000. Entry chunks sizes are multiplied by options.entryChunkMultiplicator (or 10).
Chunks that reduce the total size the most are merged first. If multiple combinations are equal the minimal merged size wins.
Chunks with the same modules are merged.
Modules that are included in every parent chunk are removed from the chunk.
Merges chunks until each chunk has the minimum size of minChunkSize.
Adds chunk ids of chunks which are included in the chunk. This eliminates unnessary chunk loads.
Minimizes the chunks with uglify.js.
options are uglifyjs options.
Order the modules and chunks by occurence. This saves space, because often referenced modules and chunks get smaller ids.
preferEntry If true, references in entry chunks have higher priority
