retailify-webpack-stats

This is an extended version of webpack-bundle-tracker and we are using it as drop in replacement for our daily use.

Why we've copied it from the original place?

Cause there a few pull request, that are not integrated at the time of writing and therefore we've decided to make a copy.

How we are using it?

We are using webpack-bundler in a django docker environment, so we had to replace the generated path in webpack-stats.json with the docker app mount point (e.g. /usr/src/app) each time we are building the container.

What next?

Our intention is to:

• write more tests to get a good coverage and test it via circleci or travis

• read RETAILIFY_WEBPACK_STATS_ABSPATH environment variable. (Set the absolutePath via the (docker) env)

• integrate and test: Adds trackAssets option to plugin

Install

npm install --save-dev retailify-webpack-stats

Usage

Precedence Rule

If the absolutePath is set, the path option is ignored.

var BundleTracker  = require('retailify-webpack-stats');
module.exports = {
        context: __dirname,
    entry: {
      app: ['./app']
    },
 
    output: {
        path: require("path").resolve('./assets/bundles/'),
        filename: "[name]-[hash].js",
        publicPath: 'http://localhost:3000/assets/bundles/',
    },
 
    plugins: [
      new BundleTracker({
        absolutePath: '/usr/src/app',
        filename: './assets/webpack-stats.json',
        indent: 2
      })
    ]
}

./assets/webpack-stats.json will look like,

{
  "status":"done",
  "chunks":{
   "app":[{
      "name":"app-0828904584990b611fb8.js",
      "publicPath":"http://localhost:3000/assets/bundles/app-0828904584990b611fb8.js",
      "path":"/home/user/project-root/assets/bundles/app-0828904584990b611fb8.js"
    }]
  }
}

In case webpack is still compiling, it'll look like,

{
  "status":"compiling",
}

And errors will look like,

{
  "status": "error",
  "file": "/path/to/file/that/caused/the/error",
  "error": "ErrorName",
  "message": "ErrorMessage"
}

ErrorMessage shows the line and column that caused the error.

And in case logTime option is set to true, the output will look like,

{
  "status":"done",
  "chunks":{
   "app":[{
      "name":"app-0828904584990b611fb8.js",
      "publicPath":"http://localhost:3000/assets/bundles/app-0828904584990b611fb8.js",
      "path":"/usr/src/app/assets/bundles/app-0828904584990b611fb8.js"
    }]
  },
  "startTime":1440535322138,
  "endTime":1440535326804
}

By default, the output JSON will not be indented. To increase readability, you can use the indent option to make the output legible. By default it is off. The value that is set here will be directly passed to the space parameter in JSON.stringify. indent can be a number (up to 10) or whitespaces.
