👷 webpack-universal-hot-middleware

Simple universal hot webpack middleware for development and production

🤦‍♂️ Why?

I just want to spend less time on setup new webpack projects. Yes, I now about Next.js.

📦 Install

$ yarn add -D @exah/webpack-universal-hot-middleware

👀 Example

Setup

  1. Create webpack.config.js
// webpack.config.js

const path = require('path')
const config = require('config')
const StatsPlugin = require('stats-webpack-plugin')

const clientConfig = {
  name: 'client', // required
  target: 'web',
  entry: {
    main: './src/client.js'
  },
  output: {
    path: config.paths.distClient, // required
    filename: '[name].js',
    chunkFilename: '[name].js',
    publicPath: '/' // required
  },
  resolve: {
    alias: {
      'config$': path.resolve(config.paths.config, './universal.js')
    }
  },
  // ...
  plugins: config.isProd
    ? [ new StatsPlugin('clientStats.json', { chunkModules: true }) ] // required
    : []
}

const serverConfig = {
  name: 'server', // required
  target: 'node',
  entry: {
    server: './src/server.js'
  },
  output: {
    path: config.paths.distServer, // required
    publicPath: '/', // same as in client config
    filename: '[name].js',
    libraryTarget: 'commonjs2'
  },
  // ...
  externals: Object.keys(require('./package.json').dependencies),
  plugins: config.isProd
    ? [ new StatsPlugin('serverStats.json', { chunkModules: true }) ] // required
    : []
}

module.exports = [
  clientConfig,
  serverConfig
]
  1. Add middleware to express app
// app.js

const config = require('config')
const express = require('express')
const webpackApp = require('@exah/webpack-universal-hot-middleware')
const webpackConfig = require('./webpack.config.js')

const app = express()

app.use(webpackApp({
  webpackConfig,
  isDev: config.isDev, // usually `process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production'`
  isHot: true, // add webpack hot middleware and script to entry?
  clientEntry: 'main',
  serverEntry: 'server',
  clientStatsFileName: 'clientStats.json',
  serverStatsFileName: 'serverStats.json'
}))

const server = app.listen(config.port, () =>
  console.log(`> Server started at ${config.siteUrl}`)
)
  1. Add src/client.js, src/server.js (same as in webpack.config.js)
// src/client.js
import React from 'react'
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom'
import { BrowserRouter as Router } from 'react-router-dom'
import App from './app'

// Render app
ReactDOM.hydrate((
  <Router>
    <App />
  </Router>
), document.getElementById('app'))
// src/server.js
import React from 'react'
import { renderToString } from 'react-dom/server'
import { StaticRouter as Router } from 'react-router'
import App from './app'

// Render app
export default ({ files }) => (req, res, next) => {
  const appElement = (
    <Router location={req.url}>
      <App />
    </Router>
  )
  
  res.send(html`
    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html class="no-js">
      <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8" />
        <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />
        ${files.css.map(file => html`<link rel="stylesheet" href="${file}" />`)}
      </head>
      <body>
        <div id="app">${renderToString(appElement)}</div>
        ${files.js.map(file => html`<script src="${file}"></script>`)}
      </body>
    </html>
  `)
}
