library0.4.0jsnpmunverified

Webpack target function for Electron renderer process, version 0.4.0 (last release). Stable but unmaintained since 2016. Adjusts webpack configuration to handle Electron renderer specifics, like removing Node.js built-in modules (e.g., 'fs', 'path') that are unavailable in the renderer. Different from electron-renderer target in newer webpack versions; this package predates native support. No recent releases, low maintenance.

✓ var webpackTargetElectronRenderer = require('webpack-target-electron-renderer');
✗ import webpackTargetElectronRenderer from 'webpack-target-electron-renderer';
CommonJS only; no ESM export. Use require() as shown.

Shows how to configure webpack for Electron renderer using this package as the target.

var webpackTargetElectronRenderer = require('webpack-target-electron-renderer'); var options = { entry: './src/index.js', output: { path: './dist', filename: 'bundle.js' }, module: { loaders: [{ test: /\.js$/, loader: 'babel-loader' }] }, devtool: 'source-map', resolve: { extensions: ['', '.js', '.jsx'], packageMains: ['webpack', 'browser', 'web', 'browserify', ['jam', 'main'], 'main'] } }; options.target = webpackTargetElectronRenderer(options); module.exports = options;
Debug
Known issues
breakingPackage is unmaintained; does not support modern webpack (v2+) and Electron versions (v1+). Use webpack's built-in 'electron-renderer' target instead.
fix
Migrate to webpack's native 'target: 'electron-renderer''.
affects: >=0.4.0
deprecatedNo releases since 2016; package is effectively deprecated.
fix
Switch to webpack built-in target.
affects: >=0.4.0
gotchaThe function modifies the options object in place and also returns it. May cause unexpected side effects if options is reused.
fix
Ensure options object is not shared with other configurations; clone if needed.
affects: all
