Browser Open Webpack Plugin
Opens a new browser tab when Webpack loads. Very useful if you're lazy and don't want to force yourself to open a new tab when Webpack is ready to play!
Installation
npm install browseropen-webpack-plugin --save-dev
Usage
Simply require the plugin and add it in the plugins section:
var BrowserOpenPlugin = require('browseropen-webpack-plugin');
module.exports = {
entry: path.resolve(__dirname, 'lib/entry.js'),
output: {
path: __dirname + "/bundle/",
filename: "bundle.js"
},
plugins: [
new BrowserOpenPlugin({ url: 'http://localhost:3000' })
]
};
Options
url
Type: String
Default: http://localhost:8080
Url to open when Webpack is ready. Needs to have the prefix http://
or https://
in order to open the browser.
delay
Type: Number
Default: 0
Optional
By default the browser is opened immediately, but this could be too early in some cases (eg. starting a nodeJS server). The value is specified in milliseconds.
browser
Type: String
Optional
Browser to open. By default, it will try to open the browser set by default in your system.
ignoreErrors
Type: Boolean
Default: False
Optional
By default this plugin only opens the browser if there's no Webpack errors. Setting ignoreErrors to true will open a new tab no matter the compilation errors.
