webpack-stream

library7.0.0jsnpmunverified

Run webpack as a stream to conveniently integrate with gulp. Version 7.0.0 requires webpack ^5.21.2 as a peer dependency and Node >= 10.0.0. Releases follow semver with active development. Key differentiators: simplifies piping webpack builds through gulp streams, supports watch mode with caching, and allows passing webpack config directly or via external config file.

Code

Verified usage

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

default export

✓ import webpack from 'webpack-stream'

✗ const webpack = require('webpack-stream')

ESM is available; CommonJS also works with require.

require

✓ const webpack = require('webpack-stream')

CommonJS require is commonly used in gulpfile.js.

named export (none)

✓

Package only has default export; no named exports.

Basic usage: compile src/entry.js with webpack using an external config and output to dist/.

const gulp = require('gulp'); const webpack = require('webpack-stream'); const webpackConfig = require('./webpack.config.js'); gulp.task('default', () => { return gulp.src('src/entry.js') .pipe(webpack(webpackConfig)) .pipe(gulp.dest('dist/')); });

Known issues

breakingv7.0.0 dropped support for webpack < 5 and Node < 10.

fix

Upgrade to webpack ^5.21.2 and Node >= 10.

gotchaDo not mix gulp.watch with webpack's watch option; they are mutually exclusive.

fix

Use gulp.watch or webpack's watch, not both.

affects: *

gotchaWhen using gulp.watch, you must pass webpack as second argument to create a cached compiler instance.

fix

Use gulpWebpack({}, webpack, callback) with the imported webpack module.

affects: *

deprecatedIn v6 and earlier, webpack4 was default; v7 requires webpack5.

fix

Update webpack to ^5.21.2 and use v7.

affects: <7.0.0
