Verified usage

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

RemoveSourceWebpackPlugin

✓ const RemoveSourceWebpackPlugin = require('remove-source-webpack-plugin')

✗ import RemoveSourceWebpackPlugin from 'remove-source-webpack-plugin'

ESM import works, but the package is CommonJS by default; require is safe for all environments

default export

✓ const RemoveSourceWebpackPlugin = require('remove-source-webpack-plugin')

✗ const plugin = require('remove-source-webpack-plugin').default

Default export is the class itself, no .default needed

alias import

✓ import RemoveSourceWebpackPlugin from 'remove-source-webpack-plugin'

✗ import { RemoveSourceWebpackPlugin } from 'remove-source-webpack-plugin'

Named import fails because it's a default export

Shows how to require and instantiate the plugin with a regex pattern to remove runtime chunk files.

const RemoveSourceWebpackPlugin = require('remove-source-webpack-plugin'); module.exports = { // ... other webpack config plugins: [ new RemoveSourceWebpackPlugin(/runtime\..*\.js$/), ], };

Debug

Known issues

gotchaPlugin only works in webpack 4 and 5, not webpack 3.

fix

Ensure webpack version is 4 or 5.

affects: >=0.1.0

gotchaUsing an empty array or no patterns removes nothing; patterns must match asset names exactly.

fix

Provide regex patterns that match asset filenames, not paths.

affects: >=0.1.0

gotchaThe plugin removes assets from compilation, not from the file system.

fix

It works after emit hooks, so removed assets won't appear in output directory.

affects: >=0.1.0

gotchaMultiple plugins of same type can be added; each removes matching assets.

fix

You can add multiple instances with different patterns.

affects: >=0.1.0
