The Webpack Delete plugin is used to delete files after completing the output process.
npm install webpack-delete-plugin --save-dev
This plugin runs async after the output has been completed. Use it to delete files after they've been built! This plugin does not clean folders for pre-processing.
module.exports = {
...
plugins: [
new WebpackDeletePlugin(["./path/file.js", "./path/**/*", "./path/folder/**"])
]
}
Delete entire folders with ./path/folder/**
- this will delete the folder and everything inside.
WebpackDeletePlugin takes a string or array of strings as input.
