library1.2.5jsnpmunverified

A webpack plugin to clean specified files after build. Current stable version is 1.2.5, released sporadically (last update 2020). It deletes specified files (and optionally their .map files) after each webpack build. Differentiators: simple API, optional forceDelete to proceed despite compile errors, and optional removeMaps to auto-delete source maps. Compared to clean-webpack-plugin, it is less maintained but offers direct file specification and force deletion.
