web-chunks

webpack-config

This is my Webpack config, which i'm gonna use in most of the projects. It compiles JavaScript and TypeScript with Babel. It also adds hashes to filenames for easy caching and inlines small images and fonts as Data URIs, for big images it adds compression 80%

Getting Started

Install this package and Webpack via NPM:

npm install webpack web-chunks --save-dev

Add some scripts to your package.json:

{
  // ...
    "scripts": {
        "clean": "rm -rf dist",
        "start": "webpack-dev-server --env=development --port 5000 --host=0.0.0.0",
        "build": "webpack --env=production",
        "build:watch": "npm run clean && webpack --env=prodduction --hide-modules --watch"
    }
}

Create a webpack.config.js in your project directory, and set it up like so:

// webpack.config.js
 
const webpack = require('webpack')
const config = require('web-chunks')
 
module.exports = config({
    entry: './app/entry', // default {app: `src/index.ts`}
    output: {
        path: './foo/' // default ./dist
    }
 
    // Override any other Webpack settings here!
    // see: https://webpack.js.org/configuration/
})

Default config

can be found here https://github.com/bafxyz/web-chunks/blob/master/src/index.ts

Supports out of the box: babel (typescript, react), css, sass, eslint, small assets as base64, images minifation, source maps

If for some reason full webpack config is not needed, you can still use some loaders

Basic example

// webpack.config.js
const webpack = require('webpack')
const sassLoader = require('web-chunks/dist/loaders/sass')
 
module.exports = configure({
    module: {
        rules: [
            // Bundle SCSS stylesheets (processed with LibSass & PostCSS), extract to single CSS file per bundle.
            sassLoader()
        ]
    }
})

Custom story book webpack config

// webpack.config.js
const babelLoader = require('web-chunks/dist/loaders/babel').default
const sassLoader = require('web-chunks/dist/loaders/sass').default
const rawLoader = require('web-chunks/dist/loaders/raw').default
 
module.exports = async ({ config, mode }) => ({
    ...config,
    module: { ...config.module, rules: [babelLoader(), sassLoader(), rawLoader()] },
    resolve: {
        ...config.resolve,
        extensions: [...config.resolve.extensions, '.ts', '.tsx']
    }
})

This package uses PostCSS to post-process your stylesheets, so you will need to create a postcss.config.js in your project directory:

// postcss.config.js
 
module.exports = {
    sourceMap: true,
    plugins: [require('autoprefixer')]
}

To be able to use all the features from this webpack config be sure what you install all the necessary peerDependencies

Now you can run npm start to build with source maps and watch for changes, and npm run build to build optimized assets for production! If you need to further customize your build, you can pass any overrides in to the configure function.
