avet-build

library1.4.4jsnpmunverified

avet-build is a build tool for avet, a framework for building server-rendered React applications. This package provides webpack build configurations used in the avet ecosystem. Version 1.4.4 is the latest stable release, with no recent updates since 2018. It is part of the avet monorepo and is designed to work with Node.js >= 8. Key differentiator: integrates with avet's build pipeline, handling webpack bundling for both client and server, and supports features like babel transpilation, static file serving, and environment variable injection. Unlike generic build tools, it is tightly coupled to avet's project structure.

Code

Verified usage

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

default (build function)

✓ import build from 'avet-build'

✗ const build = require('avet-build')

The package is an ESM module; default import returns the build function.

default (webpack config)

✓ import buildConfig from 'avet-build/lib/webpack'

✗ const buildConfig = require('avet-build').config

The webpack config is not exported at the top level; access via lib/webpack.

Path utilities

✓ import { resolveApp } from 'avet-build/lib/paths'

✗ import { resolveApp } from 'avet-build'

Path utilities are not exported from the main entry; import from subpath.

Demonstrates programmatic build using avet-build with async/await and error handling.

import build from 'avet-build'; async function start() { try { const result = await build({ cwd: process.cwd(), env: process.env.NODE_ENV || 'production', analyze: false, }); console.log('Build completed:', result); } catch (err) { console.error('Build failed:', err); process.exit(1); } } start();

Debug

Known issues

breakingNODE_ENV must be set to 'production' for optimized builds; otherwise development bundles are emitted

fix

Set process.env.NODE_ENV = 'production' before calling build, or pass env option as 'production'.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaavet-build uses webpack 3.x internally; incompatible with webpack 4+ plugins

fix

Do not install webpack 4+ or plugins expecting webpack 4. Use only webpack 3 compatible loaders/plugins.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaThe package has not been updated since 2018; may have unpatched security vulnerabilities in transitive dependencies

fix

Consider migrating to a maintained alternative or audit dependencies with npm audit.

affects: >=1.0.0

deprecatedThe build function no longer accepts a callback; must return a promise

fix

Use async/await or .then() instead of callback pattern.

affects: >=1.0.0-18

breakingMinimum Node.js version is 8; Node.js 6 and below are not supported

fix

Update Node.js to >=8 or use a compatible version.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaCustom webpack config is merged via webpack-merge; deep merging may produce unexpected results for arrays

fix

Ensure custom config arrays (e.g., plugins, loaders) are concatenated, not overridden.

affects: >=1.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error: Cannot find module 'webpack'

avet-build requires webpack as a peer dependency but it is not installed

fix

npm install webpack@3 --save-dev

TypeError: build is not a function

Importing the module incorrectly, e.g., using require('avet-build').default without default export

fix

Use import build from 'avet-build'

Error: No configuration found for webpack

avet-build expects a project structure with a 'build' directory or specific config files

fix

Ensure the project has the required avet structure (e.g., build/config/webpack.js)

Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'babel-loader'

babel-loader is not installed as a dependency

fix

npm install babel-loader@7 --save-dev

Error: The provided value 'NODE_ENV' is not a valid environment

The 'env' option passed to build() is incorrect or missing

fix

Pass e.g., { env: 'production' } or set process.env.NODE_ENV accordingly
