node-polyfill-webpack-plugin

Polyfill Node.js core modules in Webpack.

This module is only needed for Webpack 5+.

Install

npm install node-polyfill-webpack-plugin

Usage

Add the following to your webpack.config.js:

const NodePolyfillPlugin = require('node-polyfill-webpack-plugin');

module.exports = {
	// Other rules...
	plugins: [
		new NodePolyfillPlugin()
	]
};

API

new NodePolyfillPlugin(options?)

options

Type: object

excludeAliases and includeAliases are mutually exclusive.

excludeAliases

By default, the modules that were polyfilled in Webpack 4 are mirrored over. However, if you don't want a module like console to be polyfilled you can specify alises to be skipped here.

const NodePolyfillPlugin = require('node-polyfill-webpack-plugin');

module.exports = {
	// Other rules...
	plugins: [
		new NodePolyfillPlugin({
			excludeAliases: ['console']
		})
	]
};

includeAliases

Alternatively, you can choose to only include certain aliases. For example, you can only have console polyfilled.

const NodePolyfillPlugin = require('node-polyfill-webpack-plugin');

module.exports = {
	// Other rules...
	plugins: [
		new NodePolyfillPlugin({
			includeAliases: ['console']
		})
	]
};
