How to merge bundles with webpack

I'm developing a few React components with the intention of adding them to our Webflow site. For that, I've added an entry for each component in my webpack.config.js file. Now, it looks like this:
const path = require("path");
module.exports = {
entry: {
component_a: "./src/components/a.js",
component_b: "./src/components/b.js",
component_c: "./src/components/c.js",
},
mode: "production",
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.(js|jsx)$/,
exclude: /node_modules/,
use: ["babel-loader"]
},
{
test: /\.css$/,
use: ["style-loader", "css-loader"]
},
{
test: /\.(pdf|jpg|png|gif|svg|ico)$/,
use: [
{
loader: "url-loader"
}
]
},
{
test: /\.(woff|woff2|eot|ttf|otf)$/,
loader: "file-loader"
}
]
},
resolve: {
extensions: ["*", ".js", ".jsx"]
},
output: {
path: __dirname + "/dist",
publicPath: "/",
filename: "bundle_[name].js"
},
devServer: {
static: {
directory: path.join(__dirname, "dist")
}
}
};
This generates me a few bundle_<component_name>.js files, which works great!
But then, there was a need of adding react-map-gl for some of those components, and that's where the issue began: I was having an issue with react-map-gl when doing npm run build and this solved it. But at the same time, a new bundle_mapbox-gl-csp-worker.worker.js is generated for me and all of my built components that depend on it have something like this:
{return new Worker(i.p+"bundle_mapbox-gl-csp-worker.worker.js")}
Although it works fine for our container deployment (because it will always look for bundle_mapbox-gl-csp-worker.worker.js on the same origin and this file will exist), whenever I try to add <script src="https.../bundle_my_component.js"> to Webflow, it will look for https://my-webflow.domain/bundle_mapbox-gl-csp-worker.worker.js, which doesn't exist.
I've tried to replace i.p+"bundle_mapbox-gl-csp-worker.worker.js" to somewhere this script is known to exist, but then I get Script at 'https://.../bundle_mapbox-gl-csp-worker.worker.js' cannot be accessed from origin 'https://some.other.origin'.
I wonder if there's a way of merging my component and the bundle_mapbox-gl-csp-worker.worker.js somehow, either through webpack or something. Or any other workaround for this.

Require not defined in script tag

I am writing an electron app using react as for the UI and webpack for bundling. Webpack is configured right now for the react part of the application as follows:
const path = require('path');
const HtmlWebPackPlugin = require("html-webpack-plugin");
const CopyWebpackPlugin = require('copy-webpack-plugin')
module.exports = {
mode: 'development',
entry: './src/index.tsx',
target:'node',
output: {
filename: '[name].bundle.js',
path: path.join(__dirname, 'build')
},
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.tsx?$/,
exclude: /node_modules/,
use: {
loader: 'ts-loader'
}
},
{
test: /\.(png|jpg|gif)$/,
use: [
{
loader: 'file-loader'
}
]
},
{
test: /\.css$/,
loader: 'css-loader',
options: {
sourceMap: true,
},
},
{
test: /\.scss$/,
use: [{
loader: "css-loader", options: {
sourceMap: true
}
}, {
loader: "sass-loader", options: {
sourceMap: true
}
}]
}
]
},
resolve: {
extensions: ['.tsx', '.ts', '.js']
},
plugins: [
new HtmlWebPackPlugin({
template: "./index.html",
filename: "./index.html"
}),
new CopyWebpackPlugin([{ from: 'public',ignore: ['*.html'] }])
],
devtool: 'eval-source-map'
}
In my index.html I need to use the following script tag for electron's rendering process :
<script>
require('build/bundle.js')
</script>
When I run webpack-dev-server everything compiles without error, but when I open chrome dev tools I see this error :
Uncaught ReferenceError: require is not defined
at (index):12
I had to target node in my webpack.config to make electron work so I assume the require function works in browser as well since if I were to create an electron app in a pure node.js environment(without webpack and react) it works without any additional configuration. So I guess there is an issue with my webpack configuration, but I can't find any useful resource online unfortunately. Can anyone help me out? Thanks in advance!

Electron is basically a chromium browser connected to a node process through « IPC ».
This means you don’t have require available in the browser.
You need to import your script like this:
<script src="/build/bundle.js"></script>
And also you need to change the target from node to electron-renderer for the browser code.
If you also need to build code for the node side you need to add the electron-main target.
See https://webpack.js.org/configuration/

Webpack output bundle larger than expected

The only thing I have in my entry JS file is:
import $ from 'jquery';
The jQuery JS file has the size of 29.5kb from jsdelivr.
My entry, that only includes jQuery, and nothing else, has the size of 86kb.
webpack.config.js
const path = require('path');
const ExtractTextPlugin = require("extract-text-webpack-plugin");
const UglifyJsPlugin = require('uglifyjs-webpack-plugin')
module.exports = {
entry: './src/js/scripts.js',
output: {
publicPath: "./dist/",
path: path.join(__dirname, "dist/js/"),
filename: "bundle.js"
},
watch: true,
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.js$/,
exclude: /node_modules/,
loader: "babel-loader",
query: {
presets: [
['env', { loose:true, modules:false }],
'stage-2'
],
plugins: [
['transform-react-jsx', { pragma:'h' }]
]
}
},
{
test: /\.pug$/,
use: [
"file-loader?name=[name].html&outputPath=../dist",
"extract-loader",
"html-loader",
"pug-html-loader"
]
},
{
test: /\.scss$/,
use: ExtractTextPlugin.extract({
use: ['css-loader?url=false', 'sass-loader']
})
},
]
},
resolve: {
alias: {
"TweenMax": path.resolve('node_modules', 'gsap/src/uncompressed/TweenMax.js'),
"TimelineMax": path.resolve('node_modules', 'gsap/src/uncompressed/TimelineMax.js'),
"animation.gsap": path.resolve('node_modules', 'scrollmagic/scrollmagic/uncompressed/plugins/animation.gsap.js'),
}
},
plugins: [
new ExtractTextPlugin('../css/main.css'),
new UglifyJsPlugin({
test: /\.js($|\?)/i
})
],
stats: {
warnings: false
}
};
I should also mention, that going into the output bundle.js it still has the jQuery comments.
jQuery JavaScript Library v3.3.1
https://jquery.com/ ...
Even though I'm calling webpack with the -p argument and have the UglifyJS plugin, but the rest of the file is minified and mangled. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Try to copy and paste minified jquery from your link. It's has size of 86.9 kb.
This link also show that jquery v3 minified file size is also around 80kb.
So you already have correct setup. Maybe your 29.5kb file size is minified+gzipped file.

The 29.5kb file size is definitely the minified+gzipped version as per the link Niyoko posted.
I would also recommend checking out Fuse-Box It brought down our project size from over 1mb to under 200kb (Vendor and App bundles combined). Very easy to get going as well and it is TypeScript first :) It takes the best features from a number of the more popular bundlers and brings them together and builds on those features.

Webpack bundles tests (enzyme / jest) in the production env

I have issue with Webpack building production bundle with test files + test libs included.
In this case it is Enzyme and Jest which we use.
Webpack version 3.10.0
Webpack.build.js
const path = require('path');
const webpack = require('webpack');
const UglifyJsPlugin = require('uglifyjs-webpack-plugin');
module.exports = function() {
return {
entry: './src/index.js',
output: {
path: path.resolve(__dirname, '../build'),
filename: 'bundle.js',
},
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.js$/,
exclude: [
/node_modules/,
/__snapshots__/,
/test-util/,
],
loader: 'babel-loader'
},
{
test: /\.scss$/,
use: [
{
loader: 'isomorphic-style-loader'
},
{
loader: 'css-loader'
},
{
loader: 'sass-loader'
}
]
},
]
},
plugins: [
new UglifyJsPlugin(),
new webpack.DefinePlugin({
'process.env': {
'NODE_ENV': JSON.stringify(process.env.NODE_ENV),
}
}),
]
}
};
Here is the file structure
I have tried to workaround the issue by placing Enzyme as external resource in webpack.
externals: {
'enzyme': 'enzyme',
'enzyme-adapter-react-16': 'enzyme-adapter-react-16',
}
That does exclude it from build but (it is workaround) it still builds the snapshot files
I have tried to make "test" regex of babel-loader more specific and exclude test files but it failed.
This is new project and I spent whole day trying to make it bundle only what is necesary. Drained all of my know-how, my google know-how and know-how of the poeple I know or I work with. Hope that SO will be smarter :)

React reusable component library styles not loading

hey people I need help with the following:
am creating React UI component library
I am using webpack and dev build works great, scss files are loaded and components are displayed correctly
on production build, JS bundle is created as well as CSS (I use SCSS) bundle
BUT when I install the library in another React project and import the component, CSS is not loaded (cmp is not styled), JS works fine and the component is rendered yet styles are not loaded...
EDIT
Apparently this approach requires manual loading of CSS in parent app project. Which I want to avoid. Is there alternative way which can provide scenario in which styles will be resolved on the level on component without need for manual loading?
Here is my production webpack config:
const path = require('path');
const ExtractTextPlugin = require('extract-text-webpack-plugin');
const UglifyJsPlugin = require('uglifyjs-webpack-plugin');
module.exports = {
entry: './src/index.js',
output: {
filename: 'bundle.js',
path: path.join(__dirname, '../lib'),
libraryTarget: 'commonjs',
},
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.css$/,
use: ExtractTextPlugin.extract({
fallback: 'style-loader',
use: ['css-loader']
})
},
{
test: /\.scss$/,
use: ExtractTextPlugin.extract({
fallback: 'style-loader',
use: ['css-loader', 'sass-loader']
})
},
{
test: /\.js$/,
exclude: /node_modules/,
loader: "babel-loader"
},
{
test: /\.svg/,
use: {
loader: 'svg-url-loader',
options: {}
}
}
]
},
externals: {
'react': 'commonjs react',
'react-dom': 'commonjs react-dom',
},
resolve: {
modules: [
path.resolve('./src'),
path.resolve('./node_modules')
]
},
plugins: [
new ExtractTextPlugin({
filename: 'ui-library.css'
})
]
};

You could simply not use ExtractTextPlugin.
The whole purpose of Webpack is to group assets not based on file type but by a component perspective.
So, if you remove ExtractTextPlugin, your CSS will be included in your .js bundle.
