library1.0.0-beta.5jsnpmunverified

A Webpack plugin that automates creation of DLL bundles using Webpack's DllPlugin and DllReferencePlugin. This package (v1.0.0-beta.5) is an early beta release; it simplifies splitting vendor/polyfill code into separate DLL files, monitors package changes for rebuilds, and provides a resolveFile helper. It is intended for Webpack 3/4 but has known issues with newer versions. Development appears stalled, with no updates since 2017. Alternatives: hard-source-webpack-plugin or Webpack's built-in cache.

Verified usage

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

DllBundlesPlugin
✓ const DllBundlesPlugin = require('webpack-dll-bundles-plugin');
✗ import DllBundlesPlugin from 'webpack-dll-bundles-plugin';
Package uses CommonJS; ES module import may fail in Node environments.
resolveFile
✓ DllBundlesPlugin.resolveFile('polyfills')
✗ resolveFile('polyfills')
resolveFile is a static method on DllBundlesPlugin, not a standalone export.
DllBundlesPlugin
✓ const { DllBundlesPlugin } = require('webpack-dll-bundles-plugin');
Destructured require works because the plugin exports an object with the constructor.

Creates DLL bundles for polyfills and vendor libraries, merging a common webpack config.

const DllBundlesPlugin = require('webpack-dll-bundles-plugin'); const webpackMerge = require('webpack-merge'); const commonConfig = require('./webpack.common.js'); module.exports = { plugins: [ new DllBundlesPlugin({ bundles: { polyfills: ['core-js', 'zone.js'], vendor: ['react', 'react-dom'] }, dllDir: './dll', webpackConfig: webpackMerge(commonConfig, { devtool: 'cheap-module-source-map', plugins: [] }) }) ] };
Debug
Known issues
deprecatedPlugin is unmaintained and incompatible with Webpack 5; use at your own risk.
fix
Consider using hard-source-webpack-plugin or Webpack's built-in persistent caching.
affects: >=1.0.0-beta.5
gotchaThe plugin overrides webpackConfig entry and adds DllPlugin automatically; custom entry in webpackConfig will be ignored.
fix
Define bundles in the plugin config, not in the base webpack config.
affects: *
gotcharesolveFile() returns a filename with a specific template that may change; do not hardcode DLL filenames.
fix
Always use DllBundlesPlugin.resolveFile() to get DLL filenames.
affects: *
gotchaThe plugin may not automatically rebuild DLLs when packages update; watch functionality is listed as TODO.
fix
Manually trigger rebuild or watch using webpack --watch.
affects: 1.0.0-beta.5
