EvalSourceMapDevToolPlugin

This plugin enables more fine grained control of source map generation. It is also enabled automatically by certain settings of the devtool configuration option.

new webpack.EvalSourceMapDevToolPlugin(options);

Options

The following options are supported:

• test (string|RegExp|array): Include source maps for modules based on their extension (defaults to .js and .css).
• include (string|RegExp|array): Include source maps for module paths that match the given value.
• exclude (string|RegExp|array): Exclude modules that match the given value from source map generation.
• append (string): Appends the given value to the original asset. Usually the #sourceMappingURL comment. [url] is replaced with a URL to the source map file. false disables the appending.
• moduleFilenameTemplate (string): See output.devtoolModuleFilenameTemplate.
• module (boolean): Indicates whether loaders should generate source maps (defaults to true).
• columns (boolean): Indicates whether column mappings should be used (defaults to true).
• protocol (string): Allows user to override default protocol (webpack-internal://)

Setting module and/or columns to false will yield less accurate source maps but will also improve compilation performance significantly.

If you want to use a custom configuration for this plugin in development mode, make sure to disable the default one. I.e. set devtool: false.

Examples

The following examples demonstrate some common use cases for this plugin.

Basic Use Case

You can use the following code to replace the configuration option devtool: eval-source-map with an equivalent custom plugin configuration:

module.exports = {
  // ...
  devtool: false,
  plugins: [
    new webpack.EvalSourceMapDevToolPlugin({})
  ]
};

Exclude Vendor Maps

The following code would exclude source maps for any modules in the vendor.js bundle:

new webpack.EvalSourceMapDevToolPlugin({
  exclude: ['vendor.js']
});
