rax-webpack-plugin

library0.6.6jsnpmunverified

Webpack plugin for the Rax framework, used to bundle Rax applications with support for multiple target formats (UMD, CMD, bundle, factory). Stable version 0.6.6, with later releases up to v1.2.x in the monorepo. Provides built-in module externalization, polyfill inclusion, and multi-platform output (web, weex, node, React Native). Differentiates from generic webpack plugins by offering Rax-specific features like framework comment injection and duplicate dependency checks. The package is part of the Alibaba Rax project and has a peer dependency on webpack 1–4.

Code

Verified usage

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

RaxPlugin

✓ const RaxPlugin = require('rax-webpack-plugin');

✗ import RaxPlugin from 'rax-webpack-plugin';

Plugin does not ship ESM exports; CommonJS require() is required.

MultiplePlatform

✓ const { MultiplePlatform } = require('rax-webpack-plugin');

✗ import { MultiplePlatform } from 'rax-webpack-plugin';

MultiplePlatform is not exported as default; use destructured require().

BuiltinModules

✓ const { BuiltinModules } = require('rax-webpack-plugin');

✗ import BuiltinModules from 'rax-webpack-plugin';

BuiltinModules is a property of the plugin constructor, accessible via destructuring.

Minimal webpack configuration using rax-webpack-plugin with UMD target and external built-in modules.

const RaxPlugin = require('rax-webpack-plugin'); module.exports = { entry: './src/app.js', output: { filename: 'bundle.js', }, plugins: [ new RaxPlugin({ target: 'umd', moduleName: 'MyApp', globalName: 'MyApp', externalBuiltinModules: true, includePolyfills: false, }), ], };

Debug

Known issues

gotchaPlugin does not support ESM imports; must use CommonJS require().

fix

Use require('rax-webpack-plugin') instead of import.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaBuiltinModules is a static property on RaxPlugin, not exported as default.

fix

Access via RaxPlugin.BuiltinModules or destructure const { BuiltinModules } = require('rax-webpack-plugin').

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaSpecifying both moduleName and globalName is required for UMD target; omitting causes runtime errors.

fix

Provide both options when target is 'umd'.

affects: >=0.0.0

breakingPeer dependency webpack ^1.x.x || ^2.x.x || ^3.x.x || ^4.x.x; webpack 5 not supported.

fix

Use webpack 4 or lower, or migrate to alternative plugin.

affects: >=0.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

TypeError: RaxPlugin is not a constructor

Incorrect import: using default ES import on a CJS module.

fix

Use const RaxPlugin = require('rax-webpack-plugin');

Cannot find module 'rax-webpack-plugin'

Package not installed or missing peer dependencies.

fix

Run npm install --save-dev rax-webpack-plugin and ensure webpack is installed.

Module parse failed: Unexpected token (1:0) when building
