Split By Path Webpack Plugin

This plugin will split your entry bundle into any number of arbitrarily defined smaller bundles.

Credits

This plugin is based on split-by-name-webpack-plugin.

How?

Configuration of the plugin is simple. You instantiate the plugin with a single option: buckets which should be an array of objects, each containing the keys name and regex. Any modules which are in your entry chunk which match the bucket's regex (first matching bucket is used), are then moved to a new chunk with the given name.

Creating a 'catch-all' bucket is not necessary: anything which doesn't match one of the defined buckets will be left in the original chunk.

Example

var SplitByPathPlugin = require('split-by-path-webpack-plugin');
module.exports = {
  entry: {
    app: 'app.js'
  },
  output: {
    path: __dirname + '/dist',
    filename: "[name]-[chunkhash].js",
    chunkFilename: "[name]-[chunkhash].js"
  },
  plugins: [
    new SplitByNamePlugin({
      buckets: [{
        name: 'vendor',
        regex: /(node_modules\/|src\/vendor\/)/
      }]
    })
  ]
};
