Extend webpack setup from an add-on

Extend webpack setup from an add-on#

Deprecated since version Volto: 18

The project configuration approach as described in this document is deprecated in Volto 18 and will be removed in Volto 19. You should instead follow the add-on approach as described in Volto add-on concepts.

Just like you can extend Razzle's configuration from the project, you can do the same with an add-on. You should provide a razzle.extend.js file in your add-on root folder. The following code example manages two things.

  • Add a new webpack plugin, webpack-bundle-analyzer.

  • Reconfigure the theme.config alias, to enable a custom Semantic UI theme inside the add-on.

    const analyzerPlugin = {
      name: 'bundle-analyzer',
      options: {
        analyzerHost: '0.0.0.0',
        analyzerMode: 'static',
        generateStatsFile: true,
        statsFilename: 'stats.json',
        reportFilename: 'reports.html',
        openAnalyzer: false,
      },
    };
    
    const plugins = (defaultPlugins) => {
      return defaultPlugins.concat([analyzerPlugin]);
    };
    const modify = (config, { target, dev }, webpack) => {
      const themeConfigPath = `${__dirname}/theme/theme.config`;
      config.resolve.alias['../../theme.config$'] = themeConfigPath;
    
      return config;
    };
    
    module.exports = {
      plugins,
      modify,
    };
