Tasks generator for Webpack

Installation

npm install @runner/generator-webpack

Usage

Add to the scope:

var generator = require('@runner/generator-webpack');

Generate tasks according to the given config:

var tasks = generator({
    mode: 'development',
    entry: 'src/js/main.js',
    output: {
        filename: 'develop.js',
        path: path.resolve('build')
    },
    devtool: 'source-map',
    plugins: [
        new webpack.optimize.OccurrenceOrderPlugin()
    ]
});

Add generated tasks to the runner instance:

var runner = require('@runner/core');

Object.assign(runner.tasks, tasks);

The following tasks will become available:

Task name | Description -------------------|------------- webpack:config | prints the current configuration used for generated tasks webpack:build | performs webpack compilation webpack:modules | prints detailed info on files used in the latest compilation webpack:clear | removes compiled file (source map as well) webpack:watch | starts file changes monitoring and rebuilds when necessary webpack:unwatch | stops monitoring

Generator accepts two arguments: base configuration and additional options.

Base configuration

It's a Webpack config passed to the compiller instance.

Additional options

It's an object with the following properties:

Name | Description --------|------------- prefix | an affix placed before a task name (default is webpack:)
suffix | a string added at the end of a task name (empty by default)

So it's possible to change generated tasks names:

Object.assign(runner.tasks,
    generator(config, {
        prefix: 'js:',
        suffix: ':develop'
    })
);

It will add the following tasks:

• js:config:develop
• js:build:develop
• js:modules:develop
• js:clear:develop
• js:watch:develop
• js:unwatch:develop
