webpack-format-messages

Beautiful formatting for Webpack messages, ported from Create React App. Version 3.0.1 is the current stable release, with TypeScript definitions and native ESM support via the `exports` map. This package extracts and prettifies Webpack error and warning messages from a stats object, providing clean console output similar to Create React App. It differs from `react-dev-utils/formatWebpackMessages` by accepting a Webpack stats object directly (not the toJson() output) and by being a lightweight standalone install (under 10 kB) without the heavy `react-dev-utils` dependency. Key differentiators: zero browser dependency, pure Node.js environment, and a simple API with two functions (`formatMessages` and `formatMessage`). Release cadence is sporadic; last major release was v3.0.0 with breaking changes to Node.js 13.0-13.7 support.
