{"id":20240,"library":"noop-webpack-plugin","title":"noop-webpack-plugin","description":"A tiny Webpack plugin that performs no operation, intended as a conditional placeholder when a noop is needed in the plugins array. Version 1.0.1 is the latest and only release. The package is stable but trivial – it creates a no-op plugin that does nothing. It has zero dependencies and is often used to replace a real plugin in development mode. Alternatives include using null or process.env checks directly, but this plugin provides a simple interface.","status":"active","version":"1.0.1","language":"javascript","source_language":"en","source_url":"https://github.com/QingWei-Li/noop-webpack-plugin","tags":["javascript"],"install":[{"cmd":"npm install noop-webpack-plugin","lang":"bash","label":"npm"},{"cmd":"yarn add noop-webpack-plugin","lang":"bash","label":"yarn"},{"cmd":"pnpm add noop-webpack-plugin","lang":"bash","label":"pnpm"}],"dependencies":[],"imports":[{"note":"Package uses CommonJS only; no ESM exports.
