Verified usage

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

webpack

✓ import webpack from 'start-webpack'

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

ESM default export. CommonJS require works but not recommended for modern usage.

Shows how to define a Start task using start-webpack with a basic webpack config.

import Start from 'start'; import reporter from 'start-pretty-reporter'; import files from 'start-files'; import clean from 'start-clean'; import webpack from 'start-webpack'; const start = Start(reporter()); const config = { entry: './src/index.js', output: { path: __dirname + '/dist', filename: 'bundle.js' } }; export const build = () => start( files('build/'), clean(), webpack(config) );

Debug

Known issues

deprecatedPackage is unmaintained since 2017. webpack 3 is outdated and has known security vulnerabilities.

fix

Migrate to webpack 4/5 and use @start-task/webpack or direct webpack API.

affects: >=0

breakingBreaking change in v0.2.0: drops Node <4 and requires webpack@2. v0.3.0 requires webpack@3.

fix

Ensure you have webpack@2 installed for v0.2.x, or webpack@3 for v0.3.0.

affects: >=0.2.0 <0.3.0

gotchaThe task runner 'start' must be installed separately; it is not a dependency.

fix

Add 'start' to your devDependencies: npm install --save-dev start

affects: >=0

gotchaThe webpack config must be passed via require (synchronous) because webpack expects an object. Using import may cause issues if config is not exported correctly.

fix

Use require('./webpack.config') or import with care.
