webpack-filter-warnings-plugin

library1.2.1jsnpmunverified

Webpack plugin that allows you to filter out specific warnings from webpack compilation output. Current stable version is 1.2.1, but it has not been updated since 2018 and only officially supports webpack 2, 3, and 4 (webpack 5 is not supported). This plugin is useful for suppressing unwanted warnings, but users on webpack 5 should consider alternatives like `ClientConfigPlugin` with built-in warning filtering or `webpack-fail-plugin` for different behavior. Note that it does not work with webpack 5 and may have stale peer dependencies.

Code

Verified usage

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

default

✓ const FilterWarningsPlugin = require('webpack-filter-warnings-plugin');

✗ import FilterWarningsPlugin from 'webpack-filter-warnings-plugin';

This package does not provide an ESM export; must use CommonJS require.

FilterWarningsPlugin

✓ const FilterWarningsPlugin = require('webpack-filter-warnings-plugin');

✗ import { FilterWarningsPlugin } from 'webpack-filter-warnings-plugin';

Correct import is the default export via require, not a named import.

plugin usage in webpack config

✓ plugins: [new FilterWarningsPlugin({ exclude: /someWarning/ })]

✗ plugins: [new FilterWarningsPlugin.exclude(/someWarning/)]

The exclude option is passed to the constructor, not a method.

Shows how to use commonjs require to import and configure the plugin to exclude warnings matching a regex.

const FilterWarningsPlugin = require('webpack-filter-warnings-plugin'); module.exports = { // other webpack config... plugins: [ new FilterWarningsPlugin({ exclude: /critical dependency/i }) ] };
