Webpack Terminal Plugin

Based on vite-plugin-terminal modification

Install

npm i -D webpack-plugin-terminal

Usage

const { WebpackTerminalPlugin } = require("webpack-plugin-terminal");
new WebpackTerminalPlugin({
  console: "console", //  console (default) | terminal  
})

The default will hijack the console

console.table(['webpack', 'plugin', 'terminal']);

If the devServer is standalone (e.g. create-react-app) you need to configure middlewares

const {  terminalMiddleware } = require("webpack-plugin-terminal");
  devServer: {
    port: 5000,
    compress: true,
    open: true,
    hot: true,
    setupMiddlewares: (middlewares) => {
      middlewares.unshift(terminalMiddleware());
      return middlewares
    },
    client: { progress: true },
  },
