Webpack Plugin - Mark plugin as assets

Webpack plugin which allows you to mark your Shopware 6 plugins as assets, so they're excluded from Shopware's all.js. The bundled JavaScript file can be included in your storefront theme where you want it.

Usage

Install the plugin as one of your NPM dev dependencies:

npm installl --save-dev @korodrogerie/webpack-plugin-mark-as-assets

Now create a new file called storefront/build/webpack.config.js to extend Shopware's Webpack building pipeline. Next up, extend the default Webpack configuration and add the plugin to it:

module.exports = ({ config }) => {
    config.plugins.push(new WebpackMarkPluginsAsAssets({
        plugins: ['KoroProductOrigin']
    }));
}

The plugin requires an array of plugins which should be transformed. After the next ./psh.phar storefront:build / bin/build-storefront.sh you're finding a new folder storefront inside the public folder of your Shopware 6 plugin.

Usage in theme / template file

After copying the assets using the command bin/console assets:install you can use the Twig function {{ assets() }} to include your bundled JavaScript wherever you want to:

{{ asset('bundles/yourpluginname/yourpluginname.js') }}

How it works

Shopware uses their own Webpack plugin called WebpackCopyAfterBuild which copies bundled JavaScript files from the storefront module to your Shopware 6 plugin. Afterwards Shopware collects all bundled JavaScript plugins inside a plugin when it's located inside a dist folder and compresses all found Shopware 6 plugins together into an all.js file.

This Webpack plugin allows you to intercept this behavior of Shopware. The plugin hooks into the step afterPlugins hook from Webpack which allows to modify Webpack plugin configurations.

Internally the plugin WebpackCopyAfterBuild contains a map containing chunk names and the corresponding destination path of the plugin.

This plugin alters the destination path and prevents Shopware's theme compiliation step to collect the bundled JavaScript files.
