Webpack Compiler Plugin (v1.1.5) lets you execute custom commands at key webpack compiler hook stages: buildStart, compileStart, compileEnd, and buildEnd. It wraps commands asynchronously and supports disabling stage messages. Last updated November 2020 with maintenance-only commits; no releases since. Differentiator: simple declarative API for hooking into webpack lifecycle without manual plugin wiring. Requires Node >=8, npm >=6, and webpack (peer dependency). Ships TypeScript type definitions.

Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

WebpackCompilerPlugin

✓ import { WebpackCompilerPlugin } from 'webpack-compiler-plugin'

✗ const WebpackCompilerPlugin = require('webpack-compiler-plugin')

ESM import supported; CJS require works but named export is required.

WebpackCompilerPluginOptions

✓ import type { WebpackCompilerPluginOptions } from 'webpack-compiler-plugin'

✗ import { WebpackCompilerPluginOptions } from 'webpack-compiler-plugin'

Type-only import needed for TypeScript users to avoid runtime value import.

Stages

✓ import { Stages } from 'webpack-compiler-plugin'

Enum exported for stage type hints; ESM and CJS both work.

Configures the plugin to run custom functions at buildStart and compileEnd, with stage messages disabled.

// webpack.config.js import { WebpackCompilerPlugin } from 'webpack-compiler-plugin'; export default { mode: 'development', plugins: [ new WebpackCompilerPlugin({ name: 'my-plugin', listeners: { buildStart: () => console.log('Build started'), compileEnd: () => console.log('Compilation ended'), }, stageMessages: false, // disable stage messages }), ], };

Debug

Known issues

gotchaListener functions must return a Promise or be synchronous; async functions are wrapped but not all callbacks are awaited.

fix

Update to v1.1.4+ where async functions are properly wrapped and return a promise.

affects: >=1.0.0 <1.1.4

deprecatedThe `stageMessages` option defaults to `true` but can be set to `null` to disable; in future versions this may change.

fix

Explicitly set `stageMessages: false` to disable stage messages.

affects: >=1.1.0

gotchaRequires webpack as a peer dependency; installing without webpack will cause runtime errors.

fix

Install webpack: `npm install --save-dev webpack`.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaThe plugin only runs in Node.js environments; not usable in browser-based bundler integrations.

fix

Use exclusively in Node.js webpack configurations.

affects: >=1.0.0
