webpack-remote-types-plugin

library0.2.7jsnpmunverified

Webpack plugin (v0.2.7) that downloads TypeScript type definition tarballs generated by dts-loader from remote locations (e.g., a remote Module Federation entry). It integrates with webpack's build process to fetch type definitions files at build time and unzips them into a local directory. Key differentiator: enables type checking for remote modules in a Micro-Frontend setup where type definitions are served alongside remoteEntry.js. Release cadence is irregular; currently stable but low activity.

WebpackRemoteTypesPlugin

✓ import WebpackRemoteTypesPlugin from 'webpack-remote-types-plugin'

✗ const WebpackRemoteTypesPlugin = require('webpack-remote-types-plugin')

Default export via ESM. If using CJS, use require with default property or use a module bundler that handles ESM interop.

WebpackRemoteTypesPlugin

✓ const WebpackRemoteTypesPlugin = require('webpack-remote-types-plugin').default;

✗ const WebpackRemoteTypesPlugin = require('webpack-remote-types-plugin');

CommonJS require does not resolve default export automatically in all setups; must use .default or set esModuleInterop.

WebpackRemoteTypesPluginOptions

✓ import type { WebpackRemoteTypesPluginOptions } from 'webpack-remote-types-plugin'

✗ type WebpackRemoteTypesPluginOptions = { remotes: object; outputDir: string; remoteFileName: string; }

TypeScript types are bundled; for type-only imports use the 'import type' syntax.

Configures the plugin to fetch and extract type definitions for a remote 'app' from localhost:9000 into a './types' directory.

// webpack.config.js const WebpackRemoteTypesPlugin = require('webpack-remote-types-plugin').default; module.exports = { plugins: [ new WebpackRemoteTypesPlugin({ remotes: { app: 'app@http://localhost:9000/remoteEntry.js', }, outputDir: 'types', remoteFileName: '[name]-dts.tgz', }), ], };

Debug

Known issues

deprecatedThe 'remoteFileName' option may be automatically derived in future versions.

fix

Always specify 'remoteFileName' explicitly to avoid breaking changes.

affects: >=0.2.0

breakingIn version 0.2.x, the plugin no longer supports the legacy 'filename' option; use 'remoteFileName' instead.

fix

Replace 'filename' with 'remoteFileName' in your configuration.

affects: >=0.2.0

gotchaThe tarball URL is constructed by replacing '[name]' in 'remoteFileName' with the remote name. Ensure your server serves the file at that exact path.

fix

Verify the URL pattern: e.g., if remote is 'app' and remoteFileName is '[name]-dts.tgz', the full URL becomes http://localhost:9000/app-dts.tgz (base URL taken from the remoteEntry URL).

affects: >=0.1.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error: Cannot find module 'webpack-remote-types-plugin'

Package not installed or incorrect import path.

fix

Run 'npm install webpack-remote-types-plugin --save-dev' or add it to devDependencies.

TypeError: WebpackRemoteTypesPlugin is not a constructor

Using default export incorrectly in CommonJS environment.

fix

Use 'const WebpackRemoteTypesPlugin = require('webpack-remote-types-plugin').default;'

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat 'types/app-dts.tgz'

Remote server not returning the tarball or URL mismatch.

fix

Check that the remote URL is accessible and that 'remoteFileName' matches the actual tarball filename on the server.
