Webpack 5 support

Open virajsanghvi opened this issue 5 years ago • 18 comments

Hi, I was just wondering if there were plans to support webpack 5 or if that was going to wait until its official release. Thanks!

@virajsanghvi Hi! I'd be happy to accept a PR to add support before the webpack 5 final release. However I don't have much time to work on webpack-chain or Neutrino at any more, so we'd need someone from the community to open a PR :-)

@edmorley Does this makes webpack-chain totally unusable with webpack 5? Or it is just that few new options are not supported bit it can read and write webpack 5 configs just as well?

gpetrov avatar Oct 10 '20 08:10 gpetrov

@gpetrov The latter :-)

Great to hear! I was just searching for a tool to read/write webpack config and webpack-chain seems to fit perfectly, but cooperation with webpack 5 is essential.

Could you identify a bit the parts that might need changes for webpack 5 - I will be glad to help out.

I would start by reading through: https://webpack.js.org/blog/2020-10-10-webpack-5-release/

...and seeing if there are any options added/removed that are essential for a webpack config, and not currently set-able with webpack-chain :-)

I think this is a duplicate - I saw another issue for Webpack 5 support here. But regardless, it's a shame we don't have it yet. there are some libraries like postcss-loader which now depend on Webpack 5, and to get them working with Neutrino, you have to install an older version of the loader. I might give this a go if I have time..

Hi! I'm not actively working on any project that uses webpack, so haven't used Neutrino or webpack-chain for some time. As such it's hard to justify spend time maintaining them. I'd hoped there would be more interest from the rest of the community in helping with maintenance (particularly given the Vue ecosystem uses webpack-chain), but there hasn't been so far.

For webpack 5 support to happen, someone will need to volunteer to open a PR :-)

Hi, @edmorley I'm maintaining Vue CLI and I would love to help triage issues and review PRs in this repository :)

As for actual coding tasks, I may not have large pieces of time to dive into the codebase. But I'll try my best to help.

@sodatea Thank you for the offer to help. Adding webpack 5 support will likely require a few people to help out - someone to open a PR and someone who is up to date with webpack 5 changes to review. Once the PR is open and an initial review from someone else has taken place, I'm happy to have one last glance over before merging and releasing a new webpack-chain version - however just to set expectations, I won't have time to open the PR myself or perform the primary review. However I will definitely do anything I can on the release side.

Also given the Travis CI situation (no more credits being given to OSS projects), someone will need to convert the CI to either GitHub Actions or Circle CI. The Neutrino project looks like it's going to start using GitHub Actions (neutrinojs/neutrino/pull/1663) so that might be the best option. I don't have time to work on this, but would be able to review a PR.

I'm up for it.. I have a little time these days.

@concubicycle how is your work now?

I will implement it because my company's project also needs this

Is chainWebpack of vue.config.js still available in vue cli5?

kingyue737 avatar Jan 05 '22 09:01 kingyue737

any updates?

Is chainWebpack of vue.config.js still available in vue cli5?

As I see, it is still available, but missing some config features. For example it is impossible now to set externalsPresets using webpack-chain. Maybe there are more limitations :thinking:

I marked the wepack-chain package on npmjs.org as deprecated on 18th December, to more accurately reflect the current state of the project. The package can still be used but now a deprecation warning is shown when it is installed.

Closing since this project is no longer maintained: https://github.com/neutrinojs/webpack-chain/issues/358
