@kwhat

will webpack not pack jquery into jquery.js and datatables.js ?

Alexander Akait

@alexander-akait

Do you use CMS? WordPress include own jquery

Alex Barker

@kwhat

No this is a laravel project which is another great example of more junk tooling

They use a webpack abstraction called mix

Peter Müller

@Munter

Have you used provideplugin? https://webpack.js.org/plugins/provide-plugin/#usage-jquery

Alex Barker

@kwhat

@Munter yes, sir. I tried this

.autoload({
    jquery: ['$', 'jQuery', 'window.jQuery', 'window.$'],
})

Peter Müller

@Munter

These are all artifacts from quite old ways of doing modules through the global scope. That does indeed require quite some extra legwork

Alex Barker

@kwhat

and this

mix.webpackConfig({
    plugins: [
        new webpack.ProvidePlugin({
            $: 'jquery',
            jQuery: 'jquery',
            'window.jQuery': 'jquery',
            'window.$': 'jquery'
        }),
    ]
});

What is "old?" We talking < 3 months?

Peter Müller

@Munter

10+ years

Alexander Akait

@alexander-akait

Why you add .autoload({ jquery: ['$', 'jQuery', 'window.jQuery', 'window.$'], })?

Alex Barker

@kwhat

Sorry, this stuff changes more regularly than my underpants and all these things I have tried are the only answers/docs I could find.

Alexander Akait

@alexander-akait

You need only ProvidePlugin

Alex Barker

@kwhat

is this ProvdePlugin different from

mix.webpackConfig({ plugins: [ new webpack.ProvidePlugin({ $: 'jquery', jQuery: 'jquery', 'window.jQuery': 'jquery', 'window.$': 'jquery' }), ] });

Peter Müller

@Munter

Do you have any way of seeing what your tool abstraction around webpack generates as its configuration for webpack? That would be useful

Alex Barker

@kwhat

When I try that webpackConfig ProviderPlugin I get "Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined". Not really, not that I am aware of... This is the best you get: https://github.com/JeffreyWay/laravel-mix/tree/master/src

There is also this: https://laravel-mix.com/docs/4.1/quick-webpack-configuration

Alexander Akait

@alexander-akait

I think reproducible test repo help to solve problem

Alex Barker

@kwhat

Yah, I think going back to C is probably a better long term solution. The last 3 years have really just destroyed everything I have ever enjoyed about development.

It seems to just get more and more complex with a lot of on paper benefits that never materialize. You guys seem to enjoy this stuff, so please keep it. It makes the rest of us want to kill ourselves.

Peter Müller

@Munter

Dude, the reason this is hard is that you are using libraries from before the dependency graph era. Everybody struggles getting 10 year old tech to work

Peter Müller

@Munter

@kwhat This work for me:
https://github.com/Munter/jquery-datatables
https://awesome-lewin-57c799.netlify.com/

The need for the amd override surprised me

I am using latest webpack version. I am unable to infer what it is for webpack for load a module when there is no loader/plugin involved.

Alexander Akait

@alexander-akait

A lot of modules without loaders took 56,412 ms

afrozMT

@afrozMT

Yes, thats what i am trying to undestand

when there is no loader involved, what is it webpack taking time then ?

Alexander Akait

@alexander-akait

on parsing import/export/require/module.exports

afrozMT

@afrozMT

OKay, so what could be reason(s) for such erroneous time. Any pointer ?

Alexander Akait

@alexander-akait

Maybe a lot of dependencies, hard to say without source

afrozMT

@afrozMT

/Users/afrozalam/Code/mt-coaching-ui/node_modules/@mindtickle/mt-ui-components/src/Icon/icon.config.json

this file is just a static map of constants:

{ "ADD": "add", "ADD2": "add2", "ADDCOMMENT": "addComment", "ALERT": "alert", "ANALYTICS": "Analytics", "ANNOUNCEMENT": "announcement", "ARROWUPDOWN": "arrowUpDown", "ARROWUPRIGHT": "arrowUpRight", "ASSET": "Asset", "ATTACHEMENT": "attachement", "ATTACHMENT": "attachment", "AUDIO": "audio", }

still it took 3,023 ms

Alexander Akait

@alexander-akait

maybe :smile:

afrozMT

@afrozMT

overall build time has increased, which justifies this :\

Alexander Akait

@alexander-akait

maybe you use import { something } from 'my.json'?

afrozMT

@afrozMT

yes we use this :
import ICON_MAP from './icon.config.json';

Alexander Akait

@alexander-akait

I mean named import: import { name } from 'something'

afrozMT

@afrozMT

nope we never did that.

just one instance if import

Alexander Akait

@alexander-akait

hm, need profile, it is easy and allow to solve problem fast

afrozMT

@afrozMT

do you mean CPU profile ?

Alexander Akait

@alexander-akait

no, code

will be great to look on configuration

afrozMT

@afrozMT

here is my webpack config if you want to have quick glance:
http://dpaste.com/0CJQZW5

babelrc :
http://dpaste.com/0H3PKEB

Alexander Akait

@alexander-akait

maybe using cache-loader for css-loader can decrease compilation time (solved in webpack@5)

afrozMT

@afrozMT

Intresting part is build time is drastically reduced when using babel6 . this problem came when i updared it to babel 7

Alexander Akait

@alexander-akait

maybe some plugins very slow
