FileWatcher Webpack Plugin

JSON →
library 1.2.0 ·javascript
verified Jun 17, 2026

Webpack plugin that watches files and folders outside webpack's default watch scope using glob patterns. Version 1.2.0. It relies on chokidar for file system monitoring and triggers webpack recompilation when glob-matched files change. Unlike similar plugins (e.g., file-watcher-webpack-plugin, webpack-watch-files-plugin), this one supports recursive directory watching, custom event handlers via chokidar's API, and granular ignore patterns. The package is ESM-only. Note: The plugin's constructor expects an object with a 'watchFileRegex' property (string or array of strings). Common issues include incorrect require style (CJS vs ESM) and misconfiguring the watch path glob (must be relative to the project root).
