Simple Build Report Webpack Plugin

1.0.2 verified Fri May 01 auth: no javascript maintenance

Webpack plugin (v1.0.2) that simplifies console output by bundling FileSizeReport and formatWebpackMessages from react-dev-utils. It replaces verbose Webpack stats with a concise, human-readable summary showing build status, asset sizes (gzipped), and compilation time. Last updated in 2022, no active development. Differentiators: zero-config, single plugin, no options, works with Webpack 5. Lightweight alternative to custom stats configurations or other reporting plugins.
