lodash-webpack-plugin
Create smaller Lodash builds by replacing feature sets of modules with noop, identity, or simpler alternatives.
This plugin complements babel-plugin-lodash by shrinking its cherry-picked builds even further!
DISCLAIMER: Using this plugin without enabling the proper feature sets may cause lodash functions to behave in unexpected ways. Methods may appear to work, however they might return incorrect results.
Install
$ npm i --save lodash
$ npm i --save-dev lodash-webpack-plugin babel-core babel-loader babel-plugin-lodash babel-preset-env webpack
Example
Usage
webpack.config.js
var LodashModuleReplacementPlugin = require('lodash-webpack-plugin');
var webpack = require('webpack');
module.exports = {
'module': {
'rules': [{
'use': 'babel-loader',
'test': /\.js$/,
'exclude': /node_modules/,
'options': {
'plugins': ['lodash'],
'presets': [['env', { 'modules': false, 'targets': { 'node': 4 } }]]
}
}]
},
'plugins': [
new LodashModuleReplacementPlugin,
new webpack.optimize.UglifyJsPlugin
]
};
Opt-in to features with an options object:
new LodashModuleReplacementPlugin({
'collections': true,
'paths': true
});
