Webpack Copy Plugin

Copies directories from anywhere to anywhere (not limited to webpack build).

Why?

If you want to copy files for any reason. One reason is because angular 2 and webpack has an import problem from node_modules, so this is a workaround to automatically copy the files from node_modules to a local directory.

Usage

Install

Add to package.json & npm install "webpack-copy-plugin": "git+ssh://git@github.com/presencelearning/webpack-copy-plugin"

Add to webpack config:

And ignore the generated file (write directory) to prevent infinite webpack build loops.

var WebpackCopyPlugin = require('webpack-copy-plugin');
var WatchIgnorePlugin = webpack.WatchIgnorePlugin;
...
new WebpackCopyPlugin({
    dirs: [
        { from: 'node_modules/my-dir1', to: 'src/lib1' },
    ],
    options: {},
}),

new WatchIgnorePlugin([
    'src/lib1'
])
