webpack-copy-plugin v0.0.4

Webpack Copy Plugin

Copies directories from anywhere to anywhere (not limited to webpack build).

Why?

If you want to copy files for any reason. One reason is because angular 2 and webpack has an import problem from node_modules, so this is a workaround to automatically copy the files from node_modules to a local directory.

Usage

Install

Add to package.json & npm install "webpack-copy-plugin": "git+ssh://git@github.com/presencelearning/webpack-copy-plugin"

Add to webpack config:

And ignore the generated file (write directory) to prevent infinite webpack build loops.

var WebpackCopyPlugin = require('webpack-copy-plugin');
var WatchIgnorePlugin = webpack.WatchIgnorePlugin;
...
new WebpackCopyPlugin({
    dirs: [
        { from: 'node_modules/my-dir1', to: 'src/lib1' },
    ],
    options: {},
}),

new WatchIgnorePlugin([
    'src/lib1'
])
