webpack-simple-progress-plugin

library0.0.5jsnpmunverified

A webpack plugin that displays a simple progress bar in the terminal during the build process. Current stable version is 0.0.5, which supports webpack 1 through 5. It uses node-progress and chalk for customizable progress bars and messages. The plugin wraps webpack's ProgressPlugin events to provide real-time feedback. It is lightweight with no unusual overhead, suitable for projects that want a minimalistic progress indicator. Suitable for any webpack project requiring visual progress feedback during builds.

Verified usage

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

SimpleProgressPlugin

✓ const SimpleProgressPlugin = require('webpack-simple-progress-plugin');

✗ import SimpleProgressPlugin from 'webpack-simple-progress-plugin';

This package does not ship ESM; use CommonJS require. The export is a function that returns a plugin instance.

SimpleProgressPlugin

✓ const SimpleProgressPlugin = require('webpack-simple-progress-plugin').default;

✗ const SimpleProgressPlugin = require('webpack-simple-progress-plugin');

In version 0.0.x, the default export is the plugin constructor itself, but some bundlers may require .default if transpiled. Check your setup.

PluginOptions

✓ No TypeScript type exports are provided.

✗ import { PluginOptions } from 'webpack-simple-progress-plugin';

The package does not export TypeScript types. Use JSDoc or declare your own types.

Basic webpack configuration using CommonJS require with custom progress bar styling and message template.

const SimpleProgressPlugin = require('webpack-simple-progress-plugin'); module.exports = { entry: './src/index.js', output: { path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist'), filename: 'bundle.js' }, plugins: [ new SimpleProgressPlugin({ messageTemplate: [':bar', ':percent', ':msg'].join(' '), progressOptions: { complete: '█', incomplete: '░', width: 30, total: 100, clear: false } }) ] };

Debug

Known issues

breakingVersions before 0.0.5 do not support webpack 5. Update to 0.0.5 if using webpack 5.

fix

npm install webpack-simple-progress-plugin@latest --save-dev

affects: <0.0.5

deprecatedThe package uses chalk v2 syntax, which may be incompatible with chalk v5+. Consider using a different progress plugin or pinning chalk to v2.

fix

Add "chalk": "^2.4.2" as a direct dependency in your package.json, or use a plugin that supports modern chalk.

affects: >=0.0.1

gotchaThe plugin may not display correctly in non-TTY environments (e.g., CI logs with no terminal).

fix

Conditionally enable the plugin only for interactive terminals using process.stdout.isTTY.

affects: >=0.0.1

gotchaThe progress bar is rendered using node-progress; if multiple instances run simultaneously, output may overlap.

fix

Ensure only one instance of the plugin is used per compilation.

affects: >=0.0.1

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Cannot find module 'chalk'

chalk is a peer dependency but not installed automatically.

fix

Run 'npm install chalk@^2.4.2 --save-dev' or add chalk to your project dependencies.

TypeError: SimpleProgressPlugin is not a constructor

The import was done using ES modules (import) instead of CommonJS require.

fix

Use 'const SimpleProgressPlugin = require('webpack-simple-progress-plugin');' instead of 'import'.

Error: webpack-simple-progress-plugin: webpack version 5 is not supported.

Installed version is older than 0.0.5 which does not support webpack 5.
