webpack-command (v0.5.1) is a lightweight, modular CLI for webpack 4 that provides an enhanced user experience over webpack-cli. It features extendable configurations, custom reporters, support for configs in JSON/YAML/JS, and did-you-mean flag suggestions. Requires Node >=8.9.0 and webpack ^4.4.0. The package is in maintenance mode; the recommended successor is webpack-nano. Key differentiator: significantly smaller package size (24% of webpack-cli) and richer default output via webpack-stylish. Release cadence: irregular, last release 0.5.1.

Verified usage

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

webpack-command (CLI)
✓ wp --help
✗ webpack --help
The primary binary is `wp` to avoid conflict with webpack-cli. The `webpack` binary may also be used if no other webpack CLI is installed.
Programmatic API (not officially exported)
✓ const webpackCmd = require('webpack-command');
✗ import webpackCmd from 'webpack-command';
webpack-command is primarily a CLI tool; its programmatic API is not well documented and may not be stable. CommonJS require is used.
Custom reporter
✓ // Implement your own reporter by passing --reporter option
No official export for reporter interface. See documentation for creating custom reporters via configuration.

Install webpack-command and webpack as dev dependencies, then run the CLI with entry and output files.

npm install webpack-command webpack --save-dev # basic usage: wp ./src/index.js --output ./dist/bundle.js
webpack-command --version
