Bower Webpack Plugin

Use Bower with Webpack v2.

What

Enhances enhanced-resolver plugin to be able to understand bower.json description file when main field is an array.

Keep in mind, you are still responsible to manually require any other non-javascript files associated with the bower package.

Usage

npm install bower-resolve-webpack-plugin

  const BowerResolvePlugin = require("bower-resolve-webpack-plugin");
 
  resolve: {
    plugins: [new BowerResolvePlugin()],
    modules: ['bower_components', 'node_modules'],
    descriptionFiles: ['bower.json', 'package.json'],
    mainFields: ['browser', 'main']
  },

This plugin has been developed to work with Webpack 2, for similar plugins that work with Webpack 1 use Bower Plugin.
