Using webpack-chain with vue-cli 3 to change the name of the generated file












0














I want to change the name of the generated file from app.<hash>.js to plugin.<hash>.js. The name of the webpack entry point key is used to determine the name. The vue-cli 3 uses app by default as webpack entry point key. So I need to change it. Using vue inspect > webpack.config.resolved.js I'm able to see the whole webpack file that gets resolved by vue-cli.



The last part of the resolved webpack file is.



  }
...
entry: {
app: [
'./src/main.js'
]
}


I can overrule the value by adding with the following to vue.config.js.



module.exports = {
chainWebpack: config => {
// Remove the old entry and add the new one
config
.entry('app')
.clear()
.add('./plugin/index.js')
},
...
}


This is the result in the resolved webpack file.



{
...
entry: {
app: [
'./plugin/index.js'
]
}
}


I also want to rename the app key to plugin. I thought I would be able to delete the key using config.entry.delete('app'), but this throws an error.



This is were I am stuck. Anyone have suggestions to delete or rename the entry key?

          Okay I figured it out. You have to use the low-level config.entryPoints instead of config.entry.



          module.exports = {
          chainWebpack: config => {
          // Remove the old 'app' entry
          config
          .entryPoints
          .delete('app')
          // Add the new 'plugin' entry
          config
          .entry('plugin')
          .add('./plugin/index.js')
          config
          .resolve
          .alias
          .set('@', path.resolve(__dirname, 'plugin'))
          },
          ...
          }


          If you want to make this change you have to take the following steps:




          1. Rename the src directory to plugin (optional, but I like it)

          2. Add the vue.config.js file with the code above including adjusting the alias from src to plugin


          3. Update the moduleNameMapper in the jest.config.js



            ...
            moduleNameMapper: {
            '^@/(.*)$': '<rootDir>/plugin/$1'
            },
            ...



          That will do the trick. Now the generated file is called plugin.<hash>.js.
