Hops Build
hops-build is a wrapper around webpack and hops-build-config which exports functions to execute a single build or start a webpack-dev-server
.
API
runBuild(options, callback)
runBuild()
can be used to execute a webpack build.
If being used with the static
option set to true
it will generate html files for all locations configured in your package.json.
If being used without the static
option it will run the webpack build for the buildConfig
and nodeConfig
(see hops-build-config for more details).
runBuild()
supports the following options:
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
| ------ | ------- | ------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| static | boolean | false
| Whether to statically build app shells for all locations |
| clean | boolean | true
| Whether to clean the build and cache directories before starting the build |
The callback
is being called after the build has finished and can be used to schedule further work.
runServer(options, callback)
runServer()
can be used to start a webpack-dev-server
. It will take the developConfig
with its watchConfig
(see hops-build-config for more details) and start a webpack-dev-server
.
runServer()
supports the following options:
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
| ----- | ------- | ------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| clean | boolean | true
| Whether to clean the build and cache directories before starting the server |
The callback
is being called after the server has started and can be used to schedule further work.
Target Audience
If you want to programmatically start a webpack build then you should use this module.
Example
build.js
var hopsBuild = require('hops-build');
hopsBuild.runBuild({}, function() {
console.log('the build has finished');
});
