parseValue

Param: String
Used when you cannot use regular conventions. Handy for examples like RegExp or output.sourcePrefix

const parseValue = require('@webpack-cli/webpack-scaffold').parseValue;

this.configuration.myScaffold.webpackOptions.output.sourcePrefix = parseValue('\t');
// sourcePrefix: '\t'

createArrowFunction

Param: String
Generally used when dealing with an entry point as an arrow function

const createArrowFunction = require('@webpack-cli/webpack-scaffold').createArrowFunction;

this.configuration.myScaffold.webpackOptions.entry = createArrowFunction('app.js');
// entry: () => 'app.js'

createRegularFunction

Param: String
Used when creating a function that returns a single value

const createRegularFunction = require('@webpack-cli/webpack-scaffold').createRegularFunction;

this.configuration.myScaffold.webpackOptions.entry = createRegularFunction('app.js');
// entry: function() { return 'app.js' }

createDynamicPromise

Param: Array | String
Used to create a dynamic entry point

const createDynamicPromise = require('@webpack-cli/webpack-scaffold').createDynamicPromise;

this.confguration.myScaffold.webpackOptions.entry = createDynamicPromise('app.js');
// entry: () => new Promise((resolve) => resolve('app.js'))

this.configuration.myScaffold.webpackOptions.entry = createDynamicPromise(['app.js', 'index.js']);
// entry: () => new Promise((resolve) => resolve(['app.js','index.js']))

createAssetFilterFunction

Param: String
Used to create an assetFilterFunction

const createAssetFilterFunction = require('@webpack-cli/webpack-scaffold').createAssetFilterFunction;

this.configuration.myScaffold.webpackOptions.performance.assetFilter = createAssetFilterFunction('js');
// assetFilter: function (assetFilename) { return assetFilename.endsWith('.js'); }

createExternalFunction

Param: String
Used to create a general function from Externals

const createExternalFunction = require('@webpack-cli/webpack-scaffold').createExternalFunction;

this.configuration.myScaffold.webpackOptions.externals = [createExternalFunction('^yourregex$')];
/*
externals: [
  function(context, request, callback) {
    if (/^yourregex$/.test(request)){
      return callback(null, 'commonjs ' + request);
    }
    callback();
  }
*/

createRequire

Param: String
Used to create a module in topScope

const createRequire = require('@webpack-cli/webpack-scaffold').createRequire;

this.configuration.myScaffold.topScope = [createRequire('webpack')];
// const webpack = require('webpack')

Inquirer

List

Param: name<String>, message<String>, choices<Array>
Creates a List from Inquirer

const List = require('@webpack-cli/webpack-scaffold').List;

List('entry', 'what kind of entry do you want?', ['Array', 'Function']);

RawList

Param: name<String>, message<String>, choices<Array>
Creates a RawList from Inquirer

const RawList = require('@webpack-cli/webpack-scaffold').RawList;

RawList('entry', 'what kind of entry do you want?', ['Array', 'Function']);

CheckList

Param: name<String>, message<String>, choices<Array>
Creates a CheckList(checkbox) from Inquirer

const CheckList = require('@webpack-cli/webpack-scaffold').CheckList;

CheckList('entry', 'what kind of entry do you want?', ['Array', 'Function']);

Input

Param: name<String>, message<String>, [default<String>]
Creates an Input from Inquirer

const Input = require('@webpack-cli/webpack-scaffold').Input;

Input('entry', 'what is your entry point?', 'src/index');

InputValidate

Param: name<String>, message<String>, [validate<Function>, default<String>]
Creates an Input from Inquirer

const InputValidate = require('@webpack-cli/webpack-scaffold').InputValidate;

const validation = (value) => {
    if (value.length > 4) {
        return true;
    } else {
        return 'Your answer must be longer than 4 characters, try again';
    }
};

InputValidate('entry', 'what is your entry point?', validation, 'src/index');

Confirm
