I'm building an app using webpack and I'm trying to add some web workers, I'm using a built-in plugin to load them, but I followed the example here, the official repository, and I couldn't make it work. My webpack.dev.js looks like this:
import webpack from 'webpack';
import assign from 'object-assign';
import webpackDevMiddleware from 'webpack-dev-middleware';
import webpackHotMiddleware from 'webpack-hot-middleware';
import prodCfg from './webpack.prod.config.js';
var ExtractTextPlugin = require("extract-text-webpack-plugin");
var DEBUG = process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production' ? true : false;
var styles = 'css!less';
Object.assign = assign;
export default function (app) {
const config = Object.assign(prodCfg, {
devtool: 'cheap-module-inline-source-map',
entry:
[
'webpack-hot-middleware/client',
'./client',
'styles/main.less'
],
module: {
loaders: [
{
test: /\.jsx?$/,
exclude: /node_modules/,
loader: 'babel',
query: {
plugins: [
[
'react-transform', {
transforms: [{
transform: 'react-transform-hmr',
imports: ['react'],
locals: ['module']
}]
}
]
]
}
},
{
test: /\.css$/,
loader: DEBUG ? 'style!' + styles : ExtractTextPlugin.extract(styles)
},
{
test: /\.less$/,
loader: DEBUG ? 'style!' + styles : ExtractTextPlugin.extract(styles)
}
]
},
plugins: [
new webpack.optimize.OccurenceOrderPlugin(),
new webpack.HotModuleReplacementPlugin(),
new webpack.NoErrorsPlugin(),
new ExtractTextPlugin("style.css", {allChunks: true })
],
worker: {
output: {
filename: "hash.worker.js",
chunkFilename: "[id].hash.worker.js"
}
}
});
const compiler = webpack(config);
app.use(webpackDevMiddleware(compiler, {noInfo: true, publicPath: config.output.publicPath}));
app.use(webpackHotMiddleware(compiler));
}
and when I try to load the file I try it like this:
var Worker = require("worker!worker.js");
It would never find the file, the only files exported by webpack are bundle.js and style.css, it looks like the worker loader is not loading anything at all, or maybe I just don't understand the logic behind the loader, anyway there isn't much documentation about this nor implemented examples. So I hope someone had implemented this successfully and can shed some light on my problem.
Any help would be very welcomed! Thank you very much in advance!
