NAME

Mojolicious::Plugin::Webpack::Builder - Assets builder

SYNOPSIS

See "SYNOPSIS" in Mojolicious::Plugin::Webpack.

DESCRIPTION

Mojolicious::Plugin::Webpack::Builder is a Mojolicious::Plugin that will run webpack. This plugin is automatically registered by Mojolicious::Plugin::Webpack, so you do not have to register it yourself.

Note that it is not a typo in examples below where Webpack is the first argument to "plugin" in Mojolicious.

PLUGIN SHIM

Mojolicious::Plugin::Webpack::Builder will install a shim of Mojolicious::Plugin::Webpack if there is a writable "Plugin" directory in your distribution. Example:

  # Generate a full Mojolicious application
  $ mojo generate app MyApp
  $ cd my_app

  # Create a Plugin directory
  $ mkdir -p lib/MyApp/Plugin

  # Edit your application and enable it to load the shim
  $ $EDITOR lib/MyApp.pm

When editing MyApp.pm, add load the Mojolicious::Plugin::Webpack plugin with the "shim" key set:

  sub startup {
    my $self = shift;

    # Make sure you can load plugins from your application namespaces
    unshift @{$self->plugins->namespaces}, "MyApp::Plugin";

    # Load the plugin with "shim" set
    $self->plugin(Webpack => {process => ["js"], shim => 1});
  }

Save the file and start your application with mojo webpack:

  $ mojo webpack ./script/my_app

This will then generate lib/MyApp/Plugin/Webpack.pm which will be enough to run in production, which again means that your application does not depend on Mojolicious::Plugin::Webpack at all.

ATTRIBUTES

dependencies

  $hash_ref = $self->dependencies;

Holds a mapping between what this plugin can "process" and which node modules it depends on. Example:

  $app->plugin("Webpack" => {
    dependencies => {
      css  => [qw(css-loader mini-css-extract-plugin optimize-css-assets-webpack-plugin)],
      js   => [qw(@babel/core @babel/preset-env babel-loader terser-webpack-plugin)],
      sass => [qw(node-sass sass-loader)],
    }
  });

These dependencies will automatically be installed when the key is present in "process".

process

  $array_ref = $self->process;

A list of assets to process. Currently "css", "js", "sass" and "vue" is supported. Example:

  $app->plugin("Webpack" => {process => [qw(js sass vue)]});

source_maps

  $bool = $self->source_maps;

Set this to "0" if you do not want source maps generated. Example:

  $app->plugin("Webpack" => {source_maps => 0});

Default: true (enabled).
