@f0rr0/webpack-env-ts v0.0.7

webpack-env-ts

Use custom environment configurations in front-end projects with type safety and hints.

Motivation

node-config-ts

Usage

1. Install package

   npm i -S @f0rr0/webpack-env-ts

2. Add a update-config step

   {
      "scripts" : {
        "update-config": "node-config-ts"
      }
   }

3. Create a config directory inside your project's root folder and add a default.json file. A typical folder structure looks as follows —

   root/
   └── config/
       └── default.json

   default.json should contain your application's configuration

4. Create typings

   npm run update-config

   A new Config.d.ts will be generated automatically. This file could be ignored from git as it gets automatically generated based on the structure of default.json

5. Add webpack plugin

  // webpack.config.js
  const webpack = require('webpack');
+ const WebpackEnvTsPlugin = require('@f0rr0/webpack-env-ts/plugin');

  module.exports = {
    ...
    plugins: [
      ...
+     new WebpackEnvTsPlugin({ verbose: true })
    ],
    devServer: {
-     port: 8000,
+     /* reference variables from your configuration! */
+     port: WebpackEnvTsPlugin.Config.PORT
    }
  }

6. Then access variables defined there from your app:

  // app.js
  import Config from '@f0rr0/webpack-env-ts'
  Config.PORT  // 8000
