webpack-to-memory
A quick 'n dirty module to compile one or more bundles using webpack and load those compiled bundles as node modules -- all in memory!
Usage
This module exports a single function which takes a webpack compiler
configured according to the webpack Node Node API (note: you can ignore
the section on compiling to memory, this module takes care of that for you). The
most important things to configure are the target
('node'
) and the
libraryTarget
('commonjs2'
). The exported function returns a Promise
which
resolves with an object mapping output filenames to compiled node modules.
const webpack = ;const load = ; ;
Caveats
All output is placed in an in-memory filesystem. Node doesn't read from
this filesystem directly, so if you create multiple bundles that depend on each
other your modules will fail to load (except in a few edge cases). If you have a
setup such as this it is probably better to just compile out to the real
filesystem ahead of time and require
or import
the modules as normal.
