@vergiss/Auto Rebuild DLL Plugin

A Webpack Plugin for automatically rebuild dll libraries after they had been upgraded

Usage

Now it got only two config item:

1. dllConfig: Object the configuration used for webpack building dll
2. debug: Boolean need debug message output or not

The config you used while building dll with webpack can directly be used as this dllConfig's value.

Here's the Example:

/**
 *  webpack.dll.config.js 
 */
module.exports = {

    mode: "production",

    entry: {
        reactVendor: ['react', 'react-dom', 'react-router', 'react-router-dom'],
        babelVendor: ['@babel/polyfill'],
        lodashVendor: ['lodash'],
        momentVendor: ['moment', 'moment-timezone']
    },

    output: {
        filename: '[name].dll.js',
        path: path.resolve(__dirname, '../dist/res/js/dll2'),
        libraryTarget: 'var',
        library: '_dll_[name]_'
    },

    plugins: [
        new webpack.DllPlugin({
            path: path.resolve(__dirname, '../dist/res/js/dll2', '[name].manifest.json'),
            name: '_dll_[name]_'
        })
    ]
}

/**
 *  webpack.config.js
 */
const DLLConfig = require('./webpack.dll.config.js');
{
    ...others,
    plugins: [
        ...others,
        new AutoRebuildDllPlugin({
			dllConfig: DLLConfig,
			debug: false
        })
    ]
}

With this plugin, you can just remove the DllReferencePlugin in the config. I'll push an example directory later.

TODO

Now we just judge whether the dependencies had been upgraded by its package.json version identifier and it's not accurate enough. The identifier like \^1.2.3 means a version range instead of an exact version so we have to look for a better way.

Watch mode is not supported now (maybe supported later), because we consider using this plugin in building not in developing period.
