webpack.config.js with ES6 exports does not work

[ljani]

Consider the example someone else posted: https://github.com/adam-beck/hapi-plz

If you apply this patch, everything breaks although ES6 exports should work with "the second way" mentioned in usage:

Any ideas how to setup this with Babel? Everything works fine if I use the plugin via "the first way"

Seeing the same issue, just started checking it out I'll update if I find something worthwhile.

Is there any update on this one?

It seems this package is unmaintained so I decided to rewrite it in TS and fix all the issues. You can find it here https://github.com/Kamahl19/hapi-webpack-plugin-2
