I'm making a plain, static site (HTML/CSS/JS) with Webpack that I intend to eventually deploy to s3. I have my final HTML files exported to the root of my dist folder like, index.html, foo.html, bar.html.
When I go to localhost:9000, my index loads as expected. For foo and bar I have to type the file extension like /foo.html and /bar.html for those pages to load. Is there a setting that I'm missing that will allow me to simply type /foo and /bar in the browser and have the intended pages load?
One way I found for individual pages, is to specify a proxy using devServer.proxy. For /foo and /bar, this would look like that:
const path = require("path");
module.exports = {
...
devServer: {
static: {
directory: path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist')
},
port: 3000,
open: false,
hot: true,
proxy: {
'/foo': {
target: 'http://localhost:3000/foo.html',
pathRewrite: { '^/foo': '' }
},
'/bar': {
target: 'http://localhost:3000/bar.html',
pathRewrite: { '^/bar': '' }
}
}
}
}
Check the DevServer documentation for more options.
In addition to Nikolai's answer, in case you need your local dev server to serve urls w/o extensions in router history mode, just use the following:
historyApiFallback: {
rewrites: [
{ from: /^\/$/, to: '/views/landing.html' },
{ from: /^\/subpage/, to: '/views/subpage.html' },
{ from: /./, to: '/views/404.html' },
],
},

I'm having trouble visualizing how I can leverage the DllPlugin/DllReferencePlugin with Webpack while also using Grunt for the building. For those without knowledge, the DllPlugin creates a separate bundle that can be shared with other bundles. It also creates a manifest file (important) to help with the linking. Then, the DllReferencePlugin is used by another bundle when building to grab the previous made DllPlugin Bundle. To do this, it requires the manifest file created previously.
In Grunt, this would require the manifest file created before grunt even runs, no? Heres a simplified code example:
webpack.dll.js
// My Dll Bundles, which creates
// - ./bundles/my_dll.js
// - ./bundles/my_dll-manifest.json
module.exports = {
entry: {
my_dll : './dll.js'
},
// where to send final bundle
output: {
path: './bundles',
filename: "[name].js"
},
// CREATES THE MANIFEST
plugins: [
new webpack.DllPlugin({
path: "./bundles/[name]-manifest.json",
name: "[name]_lib"
})
]
};
webpack.app.js
// My Referencing Bundle, which includes
// - ./bundles/app.js
module.exports = {
entry: {
my_app : './app.js'
},
// where to send final bundle
output: {
path: './bundles',
filename: "[name].js"
},
// SETS UP THE REFERENCE TO THE DLL
plugins: [
new webpack.DllReferencePlugin({
context: '.',
// IMPORTANT LINE, AND WHERE EVERYTHING SEEMS TO FAIL
manifest: require('./bundles/my_dll-manifest.json')
})
]
};
If you look in the second section, webpack.app.js, I've commented where everything would seem to fail in grunt. For the DllReferencePlugin to work, it needs the manifest file from the DllPlugin, but in a Grunt workflow, grunt will load both of these configurations on initialization of grunt itself, causing the manifest: require('./bundles/my_dll-manifest.json') line to fail, because the previous grunt step that builds webpack.dll.js has not completed, meaning manifest does not yet exist.
var path = require("path");
var util = require('util')
var webpack = require("webpack");
var MyDllReferencePlugin = function(options){
webpack.DllReferencePlugin.call(this, options);
}
MyDllReferencePlugin.prototype.apply = function(compiler) {
if (typeof this.options.manifest == 'string') {
this.options.manifest = require(this.options.manifest);
}
webpack.DllReferencePlugin.prototype.apply.call(this, compiler);
};
// My Referencing Bundle, which includes
// - ./bundles/app.js
module.exports = {
entry: {
my_app : './app.js'
},
// where to send final bundle
output: {
path: './bundles',
filename: "[name].js"
},
// SETS UP THE REFERENCE TO THE DLL
plugins: [
new MyDllReferencePlugin({
context: '.',
// IMPORTANT LINE, AND WHERE EVERYTHING SEEMS TO FAIL
manifest: path.resolve('./bundles/my_dll-manifest.json')
})
]
};
I have a web app that I compile with webpack. One of the modules that my code uses is named table.js. Until recently, it's just been another module and has been compiled into my bundle.js file with everything else.
Now I need to run table.js in a Web Worker, so I need to pull it and its dependencies into a separate file that can be loaded both standalone and by my other modules.
At first I thought to include table.js in my webpack.config.js's entry.
var config = {
...
entry: {
app: [ './src/main.js', './src/classes/table.js' ],
vendors: [],
},
...
}
That didn't work. Then I thought to separate it out like my vendors bundle.
var config = {
/* for vendors (and other modules) we have a CDN for */
addExternal: function (name, globalVar) {
this.externals[name] = globalVar;
this.entry.vendors.push(name);
},
/* for vendors we don't have a CDN for */
addVendor: function (name, path) {
this.resolve.alias[name] = path;
this.entry.vendors.push(name);
},
addPlugin: function (plugin) {
this.plugins.push(plugin);
},
entry: {
app: [ './src/main.js' ],
vendors: [],
table: [ __dirname + '/src/classes/table.js' ]
},
plugins: [],
externals: { },
output: {
path: __dirname + '/public/dist/',
filename: 'bundle.js',
publicPath: '/dist/',
sourceMapFile: '[file].map'
},
resolve: {
alias: { 'table': './src/classes/table.js' },
extensions: [ '', '.js', '.jsx' ]
},
...
}
/* add vendors and externals */
...
config.addPlugin(new CommonsChunkPlugin('vendors', 'vendors.js'));
config.addPlugin(new CommonsChunkPlugin('table', 'table.js'));
This seems to pull Table and its dependencies into a chunk of bundle.js, 1.bundle.js. Unfortunately, then calling import Table from 'table' causes this error:
ERROR in CommonsChunkPlugin: While running in normal mode it's not allowed to use a non-entry chunk (table)
I also have a circular dependency between TableStore and Table. TableStore needs to stay in bundle.js because it shouldn't be loaded into the Web Worker. Previously, when I've needed to throw things into a separate chunk, I've done:
if (someThingNeedsRequiring) {
require.ensure([], () => {
require('something');
}
}
With the circular dependency, this doesn't seem to work.
/* table.js */
let _inWebWorker = self instanceof Window,
TableStore = null;
if (!_inWebWorker) {
require.ensure([], function() { TableStore = require('../stores/table-store'); } );
}
/* table-store.js */
import Table from 'table';
Could someone set me straight on the correct way to have my webpack.config.js and how to use my imports in my module files?
(It's been quite a while since I figured this out, and I haven't touched the project in nearly six months, so I may have missed some of the details. Comment if it's not working, and I'll try to figure out what I'm missing.)
webpack.config
It turns out there are two handy-dandy JavaScript packages for doing what I want: worker-loader and workerjs.
npm install --save workerjs worker-loader
I added this in my webpack.config.js:
var config = {
// ...
worker: {
output: {
filename: '[name].worker.js',
chunkFilename: '[name].worker.js'
}
},
// ...
}
require()
In order to specify that I want my class to be run in a WebWorker file, my require looks like:
// ecmaScript 6
import TableWorker from 'worker?name=tableRoller!path/to/table';
// ecmaScript 5
var TableWorker = require('worker?name=tableRoller!path/to/table');
TableWorker is just a variable name I used for table.js's export default class Table {...}. The name=tableRoller specifies the generated outputted [name].worker.js filename. For example, I have another WebWorker named distCalc.worker.js, so my import looks like:
import DistWorker from 'worker?name=distCalc!path/to/distWorker';
Note that in this case, distWorker only ever runs in a WebWorker, while Table is used in both my main.js entry point and my tableRoller.worker.js WebWorker file.
workerjs and worker-loader generate a new entry point file and pull in all of the dependencies of those classes. Tobias Koppers (worker-loader) and Eugene Ware (workerjs) are geniuses.
Detecting WebWorker
My _inWebWorker detection is:
let _inWebWorker = typeof Window === 'undefined';
Change output filename in your webpack.config.js file
output: {
path: __dirname + '/public/dist/',
filename: '[name].js',
publicPath: '/dist/',
sourceMapFile: '[file].map'
},
then Webpack can separate your entries with its name in dist directory.
I'm trying to convert an angular app from gulp to webpack. in gulp I use gulp-preprocess to replace some variables in the html page (e.g. database name) depending on the NODE_ENV. What is the best way of achieving a similar result with webpack?
There are two basic ways to achieve this.
DefinePlugin
new webpack.DefinePlugin({
'process.env.NODE_ENV': JSON.stringify(process.env.NODE_ENV || 'development')
}),
Note that this will just replace the matches "as is". That's why the string is in the format it is. You could have a more complex structure, such as an object there but you get the idea.
EnvironmentPlugin
new webpack.EnvironmentPlugin(['NODE_ENV'])
EnvironmentPlugin uses DefinePlugin internally and maps the environment values to code through it. Terser syntax.
Alias
Alternatively you could consume configuration through an aliased module. From consumer side it would look like this:
var config = require('config');
Configuration itself could look like this:
resolve: {
alias: {
config: path.join(__dirname, 'config', process.env.NODE_ENV)
}
}
Let's say process.env.NODE_ENV is development. It would map into ./config/development.js then. The module it maps to can export configuration like this:
module.exports = {
testing: 'something',
...
};
Just another option, if you want to use only a cli interface, just use the define option of webpack. I add the following script in my package.json :
"build-production": "webpack -p --define process.env.NODE_ENV='\"production\"' --progress --colors"
So I just have to run npm run build-production.
I investigated a couple of options on how to set environment-specific variables and ended up with this:
I have 2 webpack configs currently:
webpack.production.config.js
new webpack.DefinePlugin({
'process.env':{
'NODE_ENV': JSON.stringify('production'),
'API_URL': JSON.stringify('http://localhost:8080/bands')
}
}),
webpack.config.js
new webpack.DefinePlugin({
'process.env':{
'NODE_ENV': JSON.stringify('development'),
'API_URL': JSON.stringify('http://10.10.10.10:8080/bands')
}
}),
In my code I get the value of API_URL in this (brief) way:
const apiUrl = process.env.API_URL;
EDIT 3rd of Nov, 2016
Webpack docs has an example: https://webpack.js.org/plugins/define-plugin/#usage
new webpack.DefinePlugin({
PRODUCTION: JSON.stringify(true),
VERSION: JSON.stringify("5fa3b9"),
BROWSER_SUPPORTS_HTML5: true,
TWO: "1+1",
"typeof window": JSON.stringify("object")
})
With ESLint you need to specifically allow undefined variables in code, if you have no-undef rule on. http://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-undef like this:
/*global TWO*/
console.log('Running App version ' + TWO);
EDIT 7th of Sep, 2017 (Create-React-App specific)
If you're not into configuring too much, check out Create-React-App: Create-React-App - Adding Custom Environment Variables. Under the hood CRA uses Webpack anyway.
You can pass environment variables without additional plugins using --env
Webpack 2-4
webpack --config webpack.config.js --env.foo=bar
Webpack 5+ (without.)
webpack --config webpack.config.js --env foo=bar
Then, use the variable in webpack.config.js:
module.exports = function(env) {
if (env.foo === 'bar') {
// do something
}
}
Further Reading: Webpack 2.0 doesn't support custom command line arguments?
#2254
You can directly use the EnvironmentPlugin available in webpack to have access to any environment variable during the transpilation.
You just have to declare the plugin in your webpack.config.js file:
var webpack = require('webpack');
module.exports = {
/* ... */
plugins: [
new webpack.EnvironmentPlugin(['NODE_ENV'])
]
};
Note that you must declare explicitly the name of the environment variables you want to use.
To add to the bunch of answers personally I prefer the following:
const webpack = require('webpack');
const prod = process.argv.indexOf('-p') !== -1;
module.exports = {
...
plugins: [
new webpack.DefinePlugin({
process: {
env: {
NODE_ENV: prod? `"production"`: '"development"'
}
}
}),
...
]
};
Using this there is no funky env variable or cross-platform problems (with env vars). All you do is run the normal webpack or webpack -p for dev or production respectively.
Reference: Github issue
Since my Edit on the above post by thevangelist wasn't approved, posting additional information.
If you want to pick value from package.json like a defined version number and access it through DefinePlugin inside Javascript.
{"version": "0.0.1"}
Then, Import package.json inside respective webpack.config, access the attribute using the import variable, then use the attribute in the DefinePlugin.
const PACKAGE = require('../package.json');
const _version = PACKAGE.version;//Picks the version number from package.json
For example certain configuration on webpack.config is using METADATA for DefinePlugin:
const METADATA = webpackMerge(commonConfig({env: ENV}).metadata, {
host: HOST,
port: PORT,
ENV: ENV,
HMR: HMR,
RELEASE_VERSION:_version//Version attribute retrieved from package.json
});
new DefinePlugin({
'ENV': JSON.stringify(METADATA.ENV),
'HMR': METADATA.HMR,
'process.env': {
'ENV': JSON.stringify(METADATA.ENV),
'NODE_ENV': JSON.stringify(METADATA.ENV),
'HMR': METADATA.HMR,
'VERSION': JSON.stringify(METADATA.RELEASE_VERSION)//Setting it for the Scripts usage.
}
}),
Access this inside any typescript file:
this.versionNumber = process.env.VERSION;
The smartest way would be like this:
// webpack.config.js
plugins: [
new webpack.DefinePlugin({
VERSION: JSON.stringify(require("./package.json").version)
})
]
Thanks to Ross Allen
Just another answer that is similar to #zer0chain's answer. However, with one distinction.
Setting webpack -p is sufficient.
It is the same as:
--define process.env.NODE_ENV="production"
And this is the same as
// webpack.config.js
const webpack = require('webpack');
module.exports = {
//...
plugins:[
new webpack.DefinePlugin({
'process.env.NODE_ENV': JSON.stringify('production')
})
]
};
So you may only need something like this in package.json Node file:
{
"name": "projectname",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "",
"main": "index.js",
"scripts": {
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1",
"debug": "webpack -d",
"production": "webpack -p"
},
"author": "prosti",
"license": "ISC",
"dependencies": {
"webpack": "^2.2.1",
...
}
}
Just a few tips from the DefinePlugin:
The DefinePlugin allows you to create global constants which can be configured at compile time. This can be useful for allowing different behavior between development builds and release builds. For example, you might use a global constant to determine whether logging takes place; perhaps you perform logging in your development build but not in the release build. That's the sort of scenario the DefinePlugin facilitates.
That this is so you can check if you type webpack --help
Config options:
--config Path to the config file
[string] [default: webpack.config.js or webpackfile.js]
--env Enviroment passed to the config, when it is a function
Basic options:
--context The root directory for resolving entry point and stats
[string] [default: The current directory]
--entry The entry point [string]
--watch, -w Watch the filesystem for changes [boolean]
--debug Switch loaders to debug mode [boolean]
--devtool Enable devtool for better debugging experience (Example:
--devtool eval-cheap-module-source-map) [string]
-d shortcut for --debug --devtool eval-cheap-module-source-map
--output-pathinfo [boolean]
-p shortcut for --optimize-minimize --define
process.env.NODE_ENV="production"
[boolean]
--progress Print compilation progress in percentage [boolean]
I found the following solution to be easiest to setup environment variable for Webpack 2:
For example we have a webpack settings:
var webpack = require('webpack')
let webpackConfig = (env) => { // Passing envirmonment through
// function is important here
return {
entry: {
// entries
},
output: {
// outputs
},
plugins: [
// plugins
],
module: {
// modules
},
resolve: {
// resolves
}
}
};
module.exports = webpackConfig;
Add Environment Variable in Webpack:
plugins: [
new webpack.EnvironmentPlugin({
NODE_ENV: 'development',
}),
]
Define Plugin Variable and add it to plugins:
new webpack.DefinePlugin({
'NODE_ENV': JSON.stringify(env.NODE_ENV || 'development')
}),
Now when running webpack command, pass env.NODE_ENV as argument:
webpack --env.NODE_ENV=development
// OR
webpack --env.NODE_ENV development
Now you can access NODE_ENV variable anywhere in your code.
I prefer using .env file for different environment.
Use webpack.dev.config to copy env.dev to .env into root folder
Use webpack.prod.config to copy env.prod to .env
and in code
use
require('dotenv').config();
const API = process.env.API ## which will store the value from .env file
My workaround for the webpack version "webpack": "^4.29.6" is very simple.
//package.json
{
...
"scripts": {
"build": "webpack --mode production",
"start": "webpack-dev-server --open --mode development"
},
}
you can pass --mode parameter with your webpack commnad then in webpack.config.js
// webpack.config.json
module.exports = (env,argv) => {
return {
...
externals: {
// global app config object
config: JSON.stringify({
apiUrl: (argv.mode==="production") ? '/api' : 'localhost:3002/api'
})
}
}
And I use baseurl in my code like this
// my api service
import config from 'config';
console.log(config.apiUrl) // like fetch(`${config.apiUrl}/users/user-login`)
To add to the bunch of answers:
Use ExtendedDefinePlugin instead of DefinePlugin
npm install extended-define-webpack-plugin --save-dev.
ExtendedDefinePlugin is much simpler to use and is documented :-)
link
Because DefinePlugin lacks good documentation, I want to help out, by saying that it actually works like #DEFINE in c#.
#if (DEBUG)
Console.WriteLine("Debugging is enabled.");
#endif
Thus, if you want to understand how DefinePlugin works, read the c# #define doucmentation. link
Since Webpack v4, simply setting mode in your Webpack config will set the NODE_ENV for you (via DefinePlugin). Docs here.
Here is a way that has worked for me and has allowed me keep my environment variables DRY by reusing a json file.
const webpack = require('webpack');
let config = require('./settings.json');
if (__PROD__) {
config = require('./settings-prod.json');
}
const envVars = {};
Object.keys(config).forEach((key) => {
envVars[key] = JSON.stringify(config[key]);
});
new webpack.DefinePlugin({
'process.env': envVars
}),
dotenv-webpack
A secure webpack plugin that supports dotenv and other environment variables and only exposes what you choose and use.
with some workaround with configuration based on defaults option to achieve that, once the package has .env.defaults file to as initial values for env variables you can use it for development and let .env for your production.
Usage
install the package
npm install dotenv-webpack --save-dev
Create a .env.defaults file
API_URL='dev_url/api/'
create a .env file leave it empty, let defaults works, update it on your deploy process
config webpack - webpack.config.js
new Dotenv({
defaults: true
})
dev environement test file.js
console.log(process.env.API_URL)
// Outputs: dev_url/api/
on build, update empty .env file
API_URL='prod_url/api/'
dotenv-webpack will use this to and override env.defaults
prod environement test file.js
console.log(process.env.API_URL)
// Outputs: prod_url/api/
dotenv-webpack
dotenv-defaults
I'm not a huge fan of...
new webpack.DefinePlugin({
'process.env': envVars
}),
...as it does not provides any type of security. instead, you end up boosting your secret stuff, unless you add a webpack to gitignore 🤷♀️ there is a better solution.
Basically with this config once you compile your code all the process env variables will be removed from the entire code, there is not going to be a single process.env.VAR up thanks to the babel plugin transform-inline-environment-variables
PS if you do not want to end up with a whole bunch of undefines, make sure you call the env.js before webpack calls babel-loader, that's why it is the first thing webpack calls. the array of vars in babel.config.js file must match the object on env.js. now there is only one mow thing to do.
add a .env file put all your env variables there, the file must be at the root of the project or feel free to add it where ever u want, just make sure to set the same location on the env.js file and also add it to gitignore

now 2020, i am face to same question, but for this old question, there are so many new answer, just list some of it:
this is webpack.config.js
plugins: [
new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
// 1. title is the parameter, you can use in ejs template
templateParameters:{
title: JSON.stringify(someting: 'something'),
},
}),
//2. BUILT_AT is a parameter too. can use it.
new webpack.DefinePlugin({
