p-webpack is a thin wrapper that adds Promise support to Webpack's compile API (versions 1-4). Version 1.0.1 is the current stable release. It accepts the same configuration options as Webpack and returns a Promise that resolves with the compilation stats. It is a minimal, no-dependency library that simply promisifies the callback-based compiler.run(). Unlike alternatives like webpack-promise or manual wrapping, p-webpack focuses only on the run method and maintains full compatibility with Webpack's options object. It is suitable for Node.js 4+ and requires Webpack as a peer dependency.

Verified usage

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

default
✓ import webpack from 'p-webpack'
✗ const webpack = require('p-webpack')
The module exports a single async function; CommonJS require works but TypeScript types may prefer ESM import.
p-webpack
✓ const webpack = require('p-webpack')
✗ const { webpack } = require('p-webpack')
This is a default-export module; destructuring the name does not work.

Shows basic usage of p-webpack with async/await, using a simple webpack configuration.

const webpack = require('p-webpack'); const fs = require('fs'); async function build() { try { const stats = await webpack({ entry: './src/index.js', output: { path: __dirname + '/dist', filename: 'bundle.js' } }); console.log('Build completed:', stats.toString({ colors: true })); } catch (err) { console.error('Build failed:', err); } } build();
Debug
Known issues
gotchaRequires webpack as a peer dependency. Must install webpack separately.
fix
Run 'npm install webpack' alongside p-webpack.
affects: >=1.0.0
gotchaOnly works with webpack 1-4. Does not support webpack 5's new compiler API.
fix
Use webpack's native promise support or upgrade to a newer wrapper.
affects: >=1.0.0
gotchaDoes not support multi-compiler or watch mode. Only wraps the single run() callback.
fix
Use webpack's own multi-compiler or watch APIs directly for those features.
affects: >=1.0.0
