ui5-compatible-webpack-build v0.0.1

ui5-compatible-webpack-build

Plugin adding support for the OpenUI5/SAPUI5 module system in webpack build artifacts.

Have you ever wanted to load the result of a webpack build into a UI5 file? If so, this plugin is for you.

Installing

1. Add the package to your repo

# on your project generating the webpack build:
yarn add -D ui5-compatible-webpack-build

2. Add the plugin to your webpack.config.js:

// ... your imports
const { UI5ModuleForUmdPlugin } = require('ui5-compatible-webpack-build');

module.exports = function(webpackEnv) {
  return {
    // ... your config ...
    output: {
      path: 'dist/',
      filename: 'static/js/bundle.js',
      library: 'your-library-name', // REQUIRED
      libraryTarget: 'umd', // REQUIRED
    },
    plugins: [
      new UI5ModuleForUmdPlugin(),
      // be aware that you wouldn't use HtmlWebpackPlugin when you use the UI5ModuleForUmdPlugin plugin,
      // as your entrypoint should be a JS file that can be imported into UI5, not a html.
      // ... your other plugins ...
    ]
  }

3. Use the output file as you see fit

Caveats

This repository is using Webpack 4 hooks, but when Webpack 5 comes out, it will have to be changed to use the new JavascriptModules hooks. Only to avoid using deprecated code, as it will still work.
