Use plugins to add functionality typically related to bundles in webpack. For example, the BellOnBundlerErrorPlugin will notify you of an error in the bundler build process.
Plugins are included in your module by using the plugins property in the webpack config.
// webpack should be in the node_modules directory, install if not.
var webpack = require("webpack");
module.exports = {
plugins: [
new webpack.ResolverPlugin([
new webpack.ResolverPlugin.DirectoryDescriptionFilePlugin("bower.json", ["main"])
], ["normal", "loader"])
]
};
Plugins that are not built-in may be installed via npm if published there, or by other means if not:
npm install component-webpack-plugin
which can then be used as follows:
var ComponentPlugin = require("component-webpack-plugin");
module.exports = {
plugins: [
new ComponentPlugin()
]
}
When installing third party plugins via npm it is advised to use this tool: https://www.npmjs.com/package/webpack-load-plugins
It checks for all third party plugins installed in your dependencies and lazyloads them when you need them.
