boosh.js

A Webpack configuration generator and project boilerplate for building modern web applications

This project is an evolution of my old React + Webpack boilerplate. I was further inspired to make this into its own module by hjs-webpack.

Install

$ npm install --save booshjs

Usage

// webpack.config.js
var path = require('path');
var boosh = require('booshjs');
module.exports = boosh({
  in: 'src/app.js',
  out: path.resolve(__dirname, 'public'),
  isDev: true
});

API

boosh([options])

options

in

Type: string, array, object Default: null

The path to the main entry point of your application or a configuration object specifying multiple entry points. For small apps passing a single string is usually enough, but as your app grows you may need multiple entry points. The in option is passed directly to Webpack's entry configuration.

// String example
{
  in: 'src/app.js',
}

// Object example with multiple entrypoints
{
  in: {
    app: 'src/app.js',
    login: 'src/login.js',
  },
}

out

Type: string Default: null

cleanOnBuild

Type: boolean Default: true

If true, Boosh.js will clear the directory specified by the out option every time you build. This is recommended, as it encourages keeping source files and generated files separate.

Defaults

module.exports = boosh({
  in: null,
  out: null,
  cleanOnBuild: true,
});

Any standard Webpack arguments you supply will take precedence over the Boosh.js defaults.
