Webpack with requirejs/AMD

I'm working on a new module for an existing project that still uses requireJS for module loading. I'm trying to use new technologies for my new module like webpack (which allows me to use es6 loaders using es6 imports). It seems like webpack can't reconcile with requireJS syntax. It will say things like: "Module not found: Error: Can't resolve in ".
Problem: Webpack won't bundle files with requireJS/AMD syntax in them.
Question: Is there any way to make webpack play nice with requireJS?
My final output must be in AMD format in order for the project to properly load it. Thanks.

I had the same question and I managed to achieve it. Below is the same webpack.config.js file.
const fs = require('fs');
const path = require('path');
const webpack = require('webpack');
let basePath = path.join(__dirname, '/');
let config = {
// Entry, file to be bundled
entry: {
'main': basePath + '/src/main.js',
},
devtool: 'source-map',
output: {
// Output directory
path: basePath + '/dist/',
library: '[name]',
// [hash:6] with add a SHA based on file changes if the env is build
filename: env === EnvEnum.BUILD ? '[name]-[hash:6].min.js' : '[name].min.js',
libraryTarget: 'amd',
umdNamedDefine: true
},
module: {
rules: [{
test: /(\.js)$/,
exclude: /(node_modules|bower_components)/,
use: {
// babel-loader to convert ES6 code to ES5 + amdCleaning requirejs code into simple JS code, taking care of modules to load as desired
loader: 'babel-loader',
options: {
presets: ['es2015'],
plugins: []
}
}
}, { test: /jQuery/, loader: 'expose-loader?$' },
{ test: /application/, loader: 'expose-loader?application' },
{ test: /base64/, loader: 'exports-loader?Base64' }
]
},
resolve: {
alias: {
'jQuery': 'bower_components/jquery/dist/jquery.min',
'application': 'main',
'base64': 'vendor/base64'
},
modules: [
// Files path which will be referenced while bundling
'src/**/*.js',
'src/bower_components',
path.resolve('./src')
],
extensions: ['.js'] // File types
},
plugins: [
]
};
module.exports = config;

react-redux-firebase, "You may need an appropriate loader to handle this file type."

I am working on a project that integrates react, redux, and firebase. react-redux-firebase seems to be a convenient tool. However, the code is not being complied successfully. Below is the error, webpack.config.js, .babelrc, and index.js. Thanks for help in advance.
Error message:

Duble check that you npm install-ed all your dependencies.
Then if that doesn't work, try this:
npm install babel-preset-es2015
and add the a query for es2015 after your exclude
{
test: /\.js$/,
exclude: /node_modules/,
loader:'babel-loader',
query: {
presets: ['es2015']
}
}
If you need to include a specific node module, try including your source directory and that specific node module folder to be parsed by babel-loader.
So instead of the exclude: /node_modules/, try
include: [
path.resolve(__dirname, "src"),
path.resolve(__dirname, "node_modules/react-redux-firebase")
]

No such file or directory error in Webpack + highlight module

I'm working on an Electron app which requires the code highlighting feature. I installed highlight module as a node dependency and use webpack to bundle all the code into the app.bundle.js.
However, when I launch the Electron app, I notice an error from the highlight module complaining
Uncaught Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, scandir '//vendor/highlight.js/languages/'
Inside app.bundle.js, the highlight module still uses the vendor/highlight.js/languages/ to search for its utilities files which I thought should be included into app.bundle.js with their paths updated.
var Highlight = module.exports
, fs = __webpack_require__(336)
, hljs = __webpack_require__(408).hljs
, langRelPath = "vendor/highlight.js/languages/"
, langPath = __dirname + "/" + langRelPath
, reEndsWithJs = /\.js$/i
, loadedMap = {}
, availableMap = {}
;
It's my first time to use webpack, so it might be caused by some webpack misconfigurations. I paste the webpack.config.js for your convenience.
'use strict'
const path = require('path');
const webpack = require('webpack');
module.exports = {
entry: [
'./app/app.js'
],
output: {
path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist'),
filename: 'app.bundle.js'
},
module: {
loaders: [{
test: /\.js$/,
include: [path.resolve(__dirname, 'app')],
exclude: /node_modules/,
loaders: ['babel?presets[]=es2015,presets[]=react']
}, {
test: /\.(scss|css)$/,
loaders: ['style', 'css', 'sass']
}, {
test: /\.json/,
loader: 'json'
}, {
test: /\.(png|jpg)$/,
loader: 'url-loader'
}, {
test: /\.html$/,
loader: 'html'
}, {
test: /\.txt$/,
loader: 'text'
}]
},
target: 'electron'
};
Does anyone have some idea for this?
（Everything works fine when not bundle by webpack.）
Thank you in advance:)

Setup webpack with server side rendering to load Sass files in asp.net core project

I'm using a Yeoman project template called "aspnetcore-spa", which is an ASP.net core 1 template working in conjunction with major SPA frameworks (Angular2 and React).
I created a project with Angular2.The biolerplate's code works fine and there is no problem. Once I add Sass loader to webpack.config.js and make a reference to the Sass file from any angular file.
In webpack.config.js :
var isDevBuild = process.argv.indexOf('--env.prod') < 0;
var path = require('path');
var webpack = require('webpack');
var nodeExternals = require('webpack-node-externals');
var merge = require('webpack-merge');
var allFilenamesExceptJavaScript = /\.(?!js(\?|$))([^.]+(\?|$))/;
// Configuration in common to both client-side and server-side bundles
var sharedConfig = {
resolve: { extensions: [ '', '.js', '.ts' ] },
output: {
filename: '[name].js',
publicPath: '/dist/' // Webpack dev middleware, if enabled, handles requests for this URL prefix
},
module: {
loaders: [
{ test: /\.ts$/, include: /ClientApp/, loader: 'ts', query: { silent: true } },
{ test: /\.scss$/,include:/ClientApp/, loaders: ["style", "css", "sass"] },
{ test: /\.html$/,include: /ClientApp/, loader: 'raw' },
{ test: /\.css$/, loader: 'to-string!css' },
{ test: /\.(png|jpg|jpeg|gif|svg)$/, loader: 'url', query: { limit: 25000 } }
]
}
};
// Configuration for client-side bundle suitable for running in browsers
var clientBundleOutputDir = './wwwroot/dist';
var clientBundleConfig = merge(sharedConfig, {
entry: { 'main-client': './ClientApp/boot-client.ts' },
output: { path: path.join(__dirname, clientBundleOutputDir) },
plugins: [
new webpack.DllReferencePlugin({
context: __dirname,
manifest: require('./wwwroot/dist/vendor-manifest.json')
})
].concat(isDevBuild ? [
// Plugins that apply in development builds only
new webpack.SourceMapDevToolPlugin({
filename: '[file].map', // Remove this line if you prefer inline source maps
moduleFilenameTemplate: path.relative(clientBundleOutputDir, '[resourcePath]') // Point sourcemap entries to the original file locations on disk
})
] : [
// Plugins that apply in production builds only
new webpack.optimize.OccurenceOrderPlugin(),
new webpack.optimize.UglifyJsPlugin()
])
});
// Configuration for server-side (prerendering) bundle suitable for running in Node
var serverBundleConfig = merge(sharedConfig, {
entry: { 'main-server': './ClientApp/boot-server.ts' },
output: {
libraryTarget: 'commonjs',
path: path.join(__dirname, './ClientApp/dist')
},
target: 'node',
devtool: 'inline-source-map',
externals: [nodeExternals({ whitelist: [allFilenamesExceptJavaScript] })] // Don't bundle .js files from node_modules
});
module.exports = [clientBundleConfig, serverBundleConfig];
In my component :
import { Component, OnInit } from '#angular/core';
#Component({
selector: 'app-wine',
template: require('./wine.component.html'),
styles: require('./wine.component.scss')
})
export class WineComponent implements OnInit {
constructor() { }
ngOnInit() {
}
}
I have already installed npm packages pertinent to sass loader :
npm install node-sass sass-loader --save-dev
I have checked the main-server.js file in wwwroot/dist folder which is the result of webpack bundling, I saw that the .scss file is loaded and they styles are processed correctly. Once I run the app though, shows this exception which is coming from the server side rendering side:
An unhandled exception occurred while processing the request.
Exception: Call to Node module failed with error: ReferenceError: window is not defined at E:\Dev\MyApp\MyAppCore\src\MyApp.Web\ClientApp\dist\main-server.js:573:31 at E:\Dev\MyApp\MyAppCore\src\MyApp.Web\ClientApp\dist\main-server.js:568:48 at module.exports (E:\Dev\MyApp\MyAppCore\src\MyApp.Web\ClientApp\dist\main-server.js:590:69) at Object. (E:\Dev\MyApp\MyAppCore\src\MyApp.Web\ClientApp\dist\main-server.js:526:38) at webpack_require (E:\Dev\MyApp\MyAppCore\src\MyApp.Web\ClientApp\dist\main-server.js:20:30) at E:\Dev\MyApp\MyAppCore\src\MyApp.Web\ClientApp\dist\main-server.js:501:22 at Object.module.exports (E:\Dev\MyApp\MyAppCore\src\MyApp.Web\ClientApp\dist\main-server.js:506:3) at webpack_require (E:\Dev\MyApp\MyAppCore\src\MyApp.Web\ClientApp\dist\main-server.js:20:30) at Object. (E:\Dev\MyApp\MyAppCore\src\MyApp.Web\ClientApp\dist\main-server.js:129:25) at webpack_require (E:\Dev\MyApp\MyAppCore\src\MyApp.Web\ClientApp\dist\main-server.js:20:30)
It's obviously because of the webpack's server-side rendering, as it's running the code on Node.js side (through ASP.net Core's Javascript Services) and there is a code that is coupled with the DOM window object which is not valid on node.
Any clues?

I managed to fix the problem, here's the web.config.js bit:
(Notice the loaders for .scss files)
module: {
loaders: [
{ test: /\.ts$/, include: /ClientApp/, loader: 'ts', query: { silent: true } },
{ test: /\.scss$/,include:/ClientApp/, loaders: ["to-string", "css", "sass"] },
{ test: /\.html$/,include: /ClientApp/, loader: 'raw' },
{ test: /\.css$/, loader: 'to-string!css' },
{ test: /\.(png|jpg|jpeg|gif|svg)$/, loader: 'url', query: { limit: 25000 } }
]
}
And in the Angular component I changed the styles to this :
(Passed an array of required css files rather than a single css file)
#Component({
selector: 'app-wine',
template: require('./wine.component.html'),
styles: [require('./wine.component.scss')]
})

Webpack error when importing CSS vendor library into index.js

I am moving existing javascript vendor libraries into a webpack setup, where possible using npm to install an npm module and deleting the old script tag on the individual page as bundle.js and bundle.css include it
In index.js, I have the following
import 'materialize-css/dist/css/materialize.min.css';
However, when webpack is run, it errors with the following
Module parse failed: .......Unexpected character ''
You may need an appropriate loader to handle this file type.
So, for some reason, webpack is looking at the entire materialize folder, rather than just the single minified css file, and is then error when it comes across materialize/fonts directory.
I am unclear why this is happening, and what to do to stop it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
My webpack config is below
const webpack = require('webpack');
const path = require('path');
var precss = require('precss');
var autoprefixer = require('autoprefixer');
var ExtractTextPlugin = require("extract-text-webpack-plugin");
var postcssImport = require('postcss-import');
module.exports = {
context: __dirname + '/frontend',
devtool: 'source-map',
entry: "./index.js",
output: {
filename: 'bundle.js',
path: path.join(__dirname, './static')
},
module: {
loaders: [
{
test: /\.js$/,
loader: 'babel',
exclude: /node_modules/,
query: {
presets: ['es2015']
}
},
{
test: /\.css$/,
loader: ExtractTextPlugin.extract('style-loader', '!css-loader?sourceMap&importLoaders=1!postcss-loader')
}
]
},
plugins: [
new ExtractTextPlugin("si-styles.css")
],
postcss: function(webpack) {
return [
postcssImport({ addDependencyTo: webpack }), // Must be first item in list
precss,
autoprefixer({ browsers: ['last 2 versions'] })
];
},
}
