Web3 with Webpack Build not found without webpack-dev-server












1















With a Reactjs webpack project I am able to run webpack dev server and access my index.html with web3 picked up.



If I build the project and open the index.html in Chrome then web3 is not detected.



Everything works when running webpack-dev-server --mode development --open --hot
but with webpack --mode development then web3 is not injected



The purpose of my app is a tool to be run locally, it does not have to be served from anywhere public, also I don't see that I need to run a lite server to serve the content.




  • web3: 1.0.0-beta.36

  • webpack: 4.22.0

  • webpack-cli: 3.1.2


  • webpack-dev-server: 3.1.8



    import './index.css';
    import IxoTimelockApp from './components/IxoTimelockApp';
    import InstallMetaMask from './components/install-
    metamask/install-metamask-component.jsx';
    let regeneratorRuntime = require("regenerator-runtime");
    class App extends Component {

    state = {
    web3Obj:null
    }
    componentDidUpdate(prevprops) {
    if (prevprops != this.props){
    this.setState({web3Obj: this.props.web3Obj})
    }
    }
    componentDidMount(){
    window.addEventListener('load', async () => {
    // Modern dapp browsers...
    if (window.ethereum) {
    window.web3 = new Web3(ethereum);
    try {
    // Request account access if needed
    await ethereum.enable();
    this.setState({web3Obj: window.web3})
    } catch (error) {
    // User denied account access...
    }
    }
    // Legacy dapp browsers...
    else if (window.web3) {
    window.web3 = new Web3(web3.currentProvider);
    this.setState({web3Obj: window.web3})
    }
    // Non-dapp browsers...
    else {
    console.log('Non-Ethereum browser detected. You should consider trying MetaMask!');
    }
    });
    }


    render() {
    if(this.state.web3Obj) {
    return <TimelockApp/>
    }else return <InstallMetaMask/>
    }
    }



    export default App;

    const wrapper = document.getElementById("root");
    wrapper ? ReactDOM.render(<App />, wrapper) : false;
