webpack-sane-compiler

A thin wrapper around webpack's compiler that provides a friendlier, event-based API with Promises, explicit begin/end/error/invalidate events, and automatic error handling for compilation failures. Version 3.1.1 supports webpack 2, 3, and 4 (webpack >=2.0.0 <5.0.0). Differentiates from raw webpack by rejecting Promises and calling watch handlers with errors when stats contain errors, plus emitting additional lifecycle events like 'begin' and 'invalidate'. Package is stable and mature with no recent releases.
