zepto-webpack

library1.2.1jsnpmunverified

A Webpack-compatible repackaging of Zepto 1.2.0 that exports the library as a module for use with Webpack's ProvidePlugin. This package modifies Zepto's source to include `module.exports = window.Zepto`, allowing direct `$` usage via ProvidePlugin. It addresses Ajax issues (issue 921) and is intended for projects using Webpack 1–4. Released under MIT. Last updated in 2016; no active maintenance or updates beyond Zepto 1.2.0.

Code

Verified usage

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

✓ new webpack.ProvidePlugin({ $: 'zepto-webpack' })

✗ import $ from 'zepto-webpack'

This package is designed for Webpack's ProvidePlugin, not direct ESM import. Using import will result in an empty object or Zepto not being globally available.

Zepto

✓ new webpack.ProvidePlugin({ Zepto: 'zepto-webpack' })

✗ const Zepto = require('zepto-webpack')

The package sets window.Zepto, so ProvidePlugin maps the global. Direct require may not expose Zepto as expected in all contexts.

Module

✓ // Not applicable; use ProvidePlugin

This package is not a standard module; it only exports window.Zepto. Do not attempt to import or require it as a typical module.

Demonstrates using zepto-webpack with Webpack ProvidePlugin to make Zepto ($ and Zepto) globally available without explicit imports.

// webpack.config.js const webpack = require('webpack'); module.exports = { entry: './src/index.js', output: { path: __dirname + '/dist', filename: 'bundle.js' }, plugins: [ new webpack.ProvidePlugin({ $: 'zepto-webpack', Zepto: 'zepto-webpack' }) ] };

Debug

Known issues

deprecatedThis package is based on Zepto 1.2.0 (2016) and is no longer maintained. Use a modern jQuery alternative or a direct Zepto ESM wrapper.

fix

Consider using Zepto via CDN or a maintained npm package like 'zepto' with proper module bundler config.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaDirect import or require may not work correctly because the package only adds `module.exports = window.Zepto` at the end. It does not export Zepto as a proper ES module.

fix

Always use ProvidePlugin as shown in the README. Do not rely on standard module imports.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaIf used with Webpack 5, ProvidePlugin behavior may differ. The package may not correctly set up Zepto globally.

fix

Test with Webpack 5; consider patching the package manually or switching to a maintained alternative.

affects: >=1.2.0

breakingThe package modifies Zepto source to add `module.exports = window.Zepto`. This overwrites any previous exports and may conflict with other Zepto wrappers.

fix

Use only one Zepto wrapper; avoid mixing with other Zepto modules.

affects: >=1.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'zepto-webpack'

Package not installed or not in node_modules.

fix

Run `npm install zepto-webpack` and ensure webpack config resolves to node_modules.

$ is not defined

ProvidePlugin not configured correctly or zepto-webpack fails to assign to $.

fix

Add `new webpack.ProvidePlugin({ $: 'zepto-webpack' })` to webpack plugins array.

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'fn' of undefined

Zepto not loaded properly (likely due to wrong import method).

fix

Use ProvidePlugin as described, not direct import/require.

window.Zepto is not a function

The package may not have executed because Webpack tree-shaking removed it.

fix

Ensure ProvidePlugin is used and that zepto-webpack is included in the bundle (e.g., avoid unused module warnings).
