webpack-provides-module v1.0.2

Webpack Provides Module

Webpack plugin that allows importing modules by symbolic name, rather than by path.

Install

npm install --save-dev webpack-provides-module

Usage

Webpack

In your webpack config

const providesModule = require("webpack-provides-module");

resolve: {
    alias: providesModule.discover({
            roots: [ path.resolve(__dirname, "../src") ],
            fileTypes: [".js", ".vue"]
        }),
}

Inside your project

At the top of any file that is in your discovered path (example "src") and is not blacklisted add:

Top of file

// @providesModule NAMESPACE-ComponentName

Importing in another file

import ComponentName from "NAMESPACE-ComponentName";

I like to namespace the beginning with the product name for searching, linting and collisions. Example if your product was called "Awesome Product" I would start all of them with AP-{ComponentName}.

Linter

If you namespaced all of your files with the product name it makes linting a lot easier for unresolved imports.

//inside your .eslintrc
{
    "rules": {
        "import/no-unresolved": [2, { ignore: ['^AP-', '^ANOTHER_PRODUCT-',] }]
    }
}
