webpack-bbq

5.3.9 verified Sat Apr 25 auth: no javascript maintenance

A webpack plugin that adds BBQ-like functionality for building webpack bundles. Version 5.3.9 is the current stable release, with no recent major releases. This package is a niche plugin for webpack 3.x, relying on webpack-dev-server 2.x. It differentiates itself by providing a custom BBQ plugin for webpack, but its utility is limited to specific legacy setups. The package has low popularity on npm and is not actively maintained.

Common errors

error TypeError: BbqPlugin is not a constructor ↓

cause Using require('webpack-bbq') without .default in CommonJS environment.

fix

const BbqPlugin = require('webpack-bbq').default;

error Error: Cannot find module 'webpack-bbq' ↓

cause Package not installed or module path resolution failure.

fix

Run 'npm install webpack-bbq' and ensure it's in node_modules.

error SyntaxError: Unexpected token import ↓

cause Using ES6 import in a Node.js environment that does not support ESM without transpilation.

fix

Use require('webpack-bbq').default or configure Babel to transpile ES6 imports.

Warnings

gotcha Default export requires .default in CommonJS. Using require('webpack-bbq') directly returns the module, not the class. ↓

fix Use require('webpack-bbq').default or switch to ES6 import.

deprecated This plugin is designed for webpack 3.x. It may not work with webpack 4 or 5. ↓

fix Use a modern alternative or update the plugin if available.

gotcha The 'temperature' option must be a number; passing a string may cause unexpected behavior. ↓

fix Ensure temperature is a number, e.g., { temperature: 225 }.

Install

npm install webpack-bbq

yarn add webpack-bbq

pnpm add webpack-bbq

Imports

BbqPlugin
wrong
```
const BbqPlugin = require('webpack-bbq');
```
correct
```
import BbqPlugin from 'webpack-bbq'
```
Default import; CommonJS require works but may not be tree-shakable.

BbqPlugin

wrong

const BbqPlugin = require('webpack-bbq');

correct

const BbqPlugin = require('webpack-bbq').default;

If using CommonJS, .default is required to get the plugin constructor.

BbqPlugin
```
import { BbqPlugin } from 'webpack-bbq'
```
Not valid; BbqPlugin is a default export, not named.

Quickstart

Shows how to add the BbqPlugin to webpack config using CommonJS.

// webpack.config.js

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    new BbqPlugin({
      flavor: 'smoky',
      temperature: 225
    })
  ]
};
