webpack-addons

webpack-addons is a utility suite designed to assist in creating webpack-cli addons by providing helper functions for common webpack configuration patterns and interactive Inquirer.js prompts. Originally published in 2017, its latest version is 1.1.5. This package is specifically tailored for scaffolding webpack configurations programmatically, offering utilities like `parseValue` for special string formatting, and `createArrowFunction` for dynamic entry points. A key differentiator was its inclusion of a `createCommonsChunkPlugin` helper, which is now deprecated in Webpack 4+ in favor of `optimization.splitChunks`. Given its last update date and the deprecation of core Webpack features it wraps, the package is considered unmaintained and potentially incompatible with modern webpack versions.
