✨ Key takeaways ✨

• This is a bundler plugin (webpack for now, others to come...).
• It monitors plugins, loaders, hooks, dependencies, modules, chunks, ...
• It doesn't add runtime.
• Very easy to setup and disable on the fly.
• Totally extendable thanks to a hook architecture.

Installation

• Yarn

yarn add @datadog/build-plugin

• NPM

npm install --save @datadog/build-plugin

Usage

Inside your webpack.config.js.

const { BuildPlugin } = require('@datadog/build-plugin/dist/webpack');

module.exports = {
    plugins: [new BuildPlugin()],
};

📝 Note: It is important to have the plugin in the first position in order to report every other plugins.

Configuration

The Build plugin accepts many options:

disabled

default: false

Plugin will be disabled and won't track anything.

output

default: true

If true, you'll see a top 5 of all metrics tracked by the plugin. If a path, you'll also save json files at this location:

• dependencies.json: track all dependencies and dependents of your modules.
• metrics.json: an array of all the metrics that would be sent to Datadog.
• stats.json: the stats object of webpack.
• timings.json: timing data for modules, loaders and plugins.

context

default: webpack.config.context

Used to have a more friendly name for modules. It will remove the context part of every module names.

Integrations

datadog

default: null

An object used to automatically send your build data to Datadog.

The most basic configuration looks like this, consult the full integration documentation for more details.

new BuildPlugin({
    datadog: {
        apiKey: '<mydatadogkey>',
    },
});

Tests

TBD

⚠️ If you're modifying a behavior or adding a new feature, update/add the required tests to your PR.

Formatting, Linting and Compiling

We're using eslint and prettier to lint and format the code.

It's automatically done at save time when you're using VSCode or you can run a command to do it manually:

yarn format

We're also using TypeScript.

# Simply typecheck your code
yarn typecheck

# Build it
yarn build

# Watch changes
yarn watch

All of this will also be checked in the precommit hook.

Open Source compliance

We follow a few rules, so we made a simple command to keep it compliant.

# Make the code compliant with our Open Source rules.
yarn oss

It will:

• update headers of each files.
• update LICENSES-3rdparty.csv, LICENSE, NOTICE and README.md with the correct license.

Documentation

We try to keep the documentation as up to date as possible.

⚠️ If you're modifying a behavior or adding a new feature, update/add the required documentation to your PR.
