V8LazyParseWebpackPlugin
This is a webpack plugin designed to exploit the V8 engines treatment of functions with parens wrapped around them. This lazy loads the parsing decreasing initial load time.
EXPERIMENTAL WIP: this is highly experimental so please report issues for whatever you come across.
Install
To install run the following npm install command:
npm install v8-lazy-parse-webpack-plugin --save-dev Usage
webpack.config.js
const V8LazyParseWebpackPlugin = require(v8-lazy-parse-webpack-plugin);
module.exports = config;
let config = {
/*...*/
plugins: [
new V8LazyParseWebpackPlugin();
]
};Disclaimer
This plugin is desgined specifically for the V8 engine, so don't expect to have the same effect on all browsers or JS engines.
