clean-after-webpack-plugin v1.0.4

clean-after-webpack-plugin

The Webpack's config allow to set output assets names, which can contain hash in the name (for cache invalidation). But it makes a small annoying problem: files which was created in previous build process will stay on hard disk until you decided to remove them manually. Current Webpack plugin solves this problem.

Installation

npm i clean-after-webpack-plugin --save-dev

Usage

const CleanAfterWebpackPlugin = require('clean-after-webpack-plugin')

// webpack config
{
  plugins: [
    new CleanAfterWebpackPlugin([{options}])
  ]
}

Options and defaults (Optional)

{
  // filenames which we don't want to remove
  exceptFiles: [ 'dontDeleteThisFile.txt', 'importantScript.js' ],

  // enable/disable this plugin (eg: for webpack-dev-server we don't want to remove files from build foder)
  // Default: false
  disabled: true
}
