vlt Launches "reproduce": A New Tool Challenging the Limits of Package Provenance
vlt's new "reproduce" tool verifies npm packages against their source code, outperforming traditional provenance adoption in the JavaScript ecosystem.
cordova-plugin-webpack
Advanced tools
This plugin integrates webpack into your Cordova workflow.
Module bundlers such as webpack are essential for SPA (Single Page Application) development. Unfortunately, the Cordova workflow does not integrate webpack as a standard feature.
Simply install this plugin to easily integrate webpack into your Cordova workflow.
$ cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-webpack
$ cordova { prepare | platform add | build | run } [<platform> [...]]
[-- [--webpackConfig <webpackConfig> | --livereload]]
Option | Description | Default | Aliases |
---|---|---|---|
--webpackConfig | Path to a webpack configuration file | webpack.config.js or webpackfile.js in your project root directory. | -w |
--livereload | Enables LiveReload (HMR) | false | -l |
Before preparing your Cordova app, build scripts by webpack.
$ cordova prepare
$ cordova build -- --webpackConfig path/to/dir/webpack.config.js
After preparing your Cordova app, run LiveReload by Webpack Dev Server.
$ cordova prepare -- --livereload
$ cordova run -- -w path/to/dir/webpack.config.babel.js -l
Create a webpack configuration file (webpack.config.js
) in your project root folder
const path = require('path');
module.exports = {
mode: 'development',
entry: './src/index.js',
output: {
path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'www'),
filename: 'index.bundle.js',
},
devtool: 'inline-source-map',
};
Execute the commands
$ cordova build
$ cordova run -- --livereload
Create a Cordova app
$ cordova create cordova-plugin-webpack-example cordova.plugin.webpack.example CordovaPluginWebpackExample
Add platforms
$ cd cordova-plugin-webpack-example
$ cordova platform add android ios
Create a JavaScript file (entry point)
$ mkdir src
$ mv www/js/index.js src/index.js
Create a webpack configuration file (webpack.config.js
) in your project root folder
const path = require('path');
module.exports = {
mode: 'development',
entry: './src/index.js',
output: {
path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'www'),
filename: 'index.bundle.js',
},
devtool: 'inline-source-map',
};
Fix a HTML file (www/index.html
)
- <script type="text/javascript" src="js/index.js"></script>
+ <script type="text/javascript" src="index.bundle.js"></script>
Execute the commands
$ cordova build
$ cordova run -- --livereload
NOTE
Starting with Android 9 (API level 28), cleartext support is disabled by default. Therefore, LiveReload does not work on Android 9.0 and higher devices and emulators. Also see this issue.
To resolve this, you must modify your config.xml
file to enable cleartext support.
Add xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
in widget
root element
<widget id="cordova.plugin.webpack.example" version="1.0.0" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:cdv="http://cordova.apache.org/ns/1.0">
Enable android:usesCleartextTraffic
attribute in application
element
<platform name="android">
<edit-config file="AndroidManifest.xml" mode="merge" target="/manifest/application">
<application android:usesCleartextTraffic="true" />
</edit-config>
</platform>
Basically, it works according to your webpack configuration file.
If you want to custom webpack configuration, modify your webpack.config.js
file.
...
module.exports = {
...
mode: 'production',
entry: './src/index.js',
output: {
path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'www'),
filename: 'bundle.js',
},
plugins: [
new HtmlWebpackPlugin(),
],
...
devServer: {
contentBase: path.join(__dirname, 'public'),
host: 'localhost',
port: '8000',
hot: false,
},
...
};
Option | Default |
---|---|
devServer.contentBase | www |
devServer.historyApiFallBack | true |
devServer.host | 0.0.0.0 |
devServer.port | 8080 |
devServer.watchContentBase | true |
devServer.hot | true |
For example, if you want page reloading (LiveReload) instead of hot module reloading (HMR), specify the devServer.hot
option as false
.
...
module.exports = {
...
devServer: {
hot: false,
},
...
};
