webpack-files-archive-plugin

Webpack 5 plugin to create archives of emitted files

Installation

npm install --save-dev webpack-files-archive-plugin

This is a fork of original plugin https://github.com/autochthe/webpack-archive-plugin. The current plugin only support Webpack 5. For Webpack 4 use original plugin.

Usage

webpack.config.js:

let WebpackFilesArchivePlugin = require('webpack-files-archive-plugin');

module.exports = {
	// configuration
	output: {
		path: __dirname + '/dist',
	},
	plugins: [
		new WebpackFilesArchivePlugin(),
	],
}

Will create two archives in the same directory as output.path (__dirname in the example), ${output.path}.tar.gz and ${output.path}.zip containing all compiled assets.
