Child Process Webpack Plugin
Webpack plugin for starting child processes after each build.
Installation
$ npm install child-process-webpack-plugin
Basic usage
In your webpack.config.js
:
const ChildProcessPlugin = require('child-process-webpack-plugin');
module.exports = {
// ...
plugins: [
new ChildProcessPlugin('echo Hello!')
]
// ...
}
Options
new ChildProcessPlugin(config: array | object | string)
Ideally config
is an array of child process configurations. Each config is an object with the following keys:
Key | Type | Default value | Description |
---|---|---|---|
command | String | '' | The command to be executed |
once | Boolean | false | Run the command only after the first build (true makes sense only in watch mode) |
prefix | String | '' | Each line of the process output gets prefixed with this string |
cwd | String | '.' | Working directory the process will run in |
env | Object | {PATH:process.env.PATH} | Environment variables for the child process |
If config
is an object, it's interpreted as an array with a single configuration:
new ChildProcessPlugin([config])
If config
is a string, it's interpreted as a single command:
new ChildProcessPlugin([{
command: config
}])
If you don't like the array syntax, you can create multiple instances:
module.exports = {
// ...
plugins: [
new ChildProcessPlugin(config1),
new ChildProcessPlugin(config2)
]
// ...
}
