Please note that Webpacker 3.1.0 and 3.1.1 have some serious bugs so please consider using either 3.0.2 or 3.2.0

Please note that Webpacker 4.1.0 has an installer bug. Please use 4.2.0 or above

[6.0.0] - 2021-TBD

Please see UPGRADE GUIDE for more information.

node_modules will no longer be compiled by default. This primarily fixes rails issue #35501 as well as numerous other webpacker issues. The disabled loader can still be required explicitly via:

const nodeModules = require('@rails/webpacker/rules/node_modules.js')
environment.loaders.append('nodeModules', nodeModules)

If you have added environment.loaders.delete('nodeModules') to your environment.js, this must be removed or you will receive an error (Item nodeModules not found).
extract_css option was removed. Webpacker will generate a separate application.css file for the default application pack, as supported by multiple files per entry introduced in 5.0.0. #2608. However, CSS will be inlined when the webpack-dev-server is used with hmr: true. JS package exports inliningCss. This is useful to enable HMR for React.
Webpacker's wrapper to the splitChunks() API will now default runtimeChunk: 'single' which will help prevent potential issues when using multiple entry points per page #2708.
Changes @babel/preset-env modules option to 'auto' per recommendation in the Babel docs #2709
Adds experimental Yarn 2 support. Note you must manually set nodeLinker: node-modules in your .yarnrc.yml.
Fixes dev server issues #2898
Update static files path to from media/ to static/.

Breaking changes

Renamed /bin/webpack to /bin/webpacker and /bin/webpack-dev-server to bin/webpacker-dev-server to avoid confusion with underlying webpack executables.
Removed integration installers
Splitchunks enabled by default
CSS extraction enabled by default, except when devServer is configured and running

Remove bundler version constraint

[4.0.3] - 2019-05-28

Please see the diff

Breaking changes (for pre-existing apps)

@babel/polyfill doesn't make it possible to provide a smooth migration path from core-js@2 to core-js@3: for this reason, it was decided to deprecate @babel/polyfill in favor of separate inclusion of required parts of core-js and regenerator-runtime. #2031

In each of your /packs/*.js files, change this:

import '@babel/polyfill'

to this:

import 'core-js/stable'
import 'regenerator-runtime/runtime'

Don't forget to install those dependencies directly!

yarn add core-js regenerator-runtime

[4.0.2] - 2019-03-06

Bump the version on npm

[4.0.1] - 2019-03-04

Fixed

Pre-release version installer

[4.0.0] - 2019-03-04

No changes in this release. See RC releases for changes.

[4.0.0.rc.8] - 2019-03-03

Fixed

Re-enable source maps in production to make debugging in production easier. Enabling source maps doesn't have drawbacks for most of the applications since maps are compressed by default and aren't loaded by browsers unless Dev Tools are opened.

Source maps can be disabled in any environment configuration, e.g:

// config/webpack/production.js

const environment = require('./environment')
environment.config.merge({ devtool: 'none' })

module.exports = environment.toWebpackConfig()

Reintroduced context to the file loader. Reverting the simpler paths change
Updated file loader to have filename based on the path. This change keeps the old behaviour intact i.e. let people use namespaces for media inside app/javascript and also include media outside of app/javascript with simpler paths, for example from node_modules or app/assets

# Files inside app/javascript (i.e. packs source path)
# media/[full_path_relative_to_app_javascript]/name_of_the_asset_with_digest
media/images/google-97e897b3851e415bec4fd30c265eb3ce.jpg
media/images/rails-45b116b1f66cc5e6f9724e8f9a2db73d.png
media/images/some_namespace/google-97e897b3851e415bec4fd30c265eb3ce.jpg

# Files outside app/javascript (i.e. packs source path)
# media/[containing_folder_name]/name_of_the_asset_with_digest
media/some_assets/rails_assets-f0f7bbb5.png
media/webfonts/fa-brands-400-4b115e11.woff2

This change is done so we don't end up paths like media/_/assets/images/rails_assets-f0f7bbb5ef00110a0dcef7c2cb7d34a6.png or media/_/_/node_modules/foo-f0f7bbb5ef00110a0dcef7c2cb7d34a6.png for media outside of app/javascript

[4.0.0.rc.7] - 2019-01-25

Fixed

Webpacker builds test app assets #1908

[4.0.0.rc.6] - 2019-01-25

Fixed

Remove context from file loader in favour of simpler paths

# before
"_/assets/images/avatar.png": "/packs/_/assets/images/avatar-057862c747f0fdbeae506bdd0516cad1.png"

# after
"media/avatar.png": "/packs/media/avatar-057862c747f0fdbeae506bdd0516cad1.png"

To get old behaviour:

// config/webpack/environment.js

const { environment, config } = require('@rails/webpacker')
const { join } = require('path')

const fileLoader = environment.loaders.get('file')
fileLoader.use[0].options.name = '[path][name]-[hash].[ext]'
fileLoader.use[0].options.context = join(config.source_path) // optional if you don't want to expose full paths

Added

Namespaces for compiled packs in the public directory

# before
"runtime~hello_react" => "/packs/runtime~hello_react-da2baf7fd07b0e8b6d17.js"

# after
"runtime~hello_react" => "/packs/js/runtime~hello_react-da2baf7fd07b0e8b6d17.js"

[4.0.0.rc.5] - 2019-01-21

Updated

Gems and node dependencies

[4.0.0.rc.4] - 2019-01-21

Added

stylesheet_packs_with_chunks_tag helper, similar to javascript helper but for loading stylesheets chunks.

<%= stylesheet_packs_with_chunks_tag 'calendar', 'map', 'data-turbolinks-track': 'reload' %>

<link rel="stylesheet" media="screen" href="/packs/3-8c7ce31a.chunk.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" media="screen" href="/packs/calendar-8c7ce31a.chunk.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" media="screen" href="/packs/map-8c7ce31a.chunk.css" />

Important: Pass all your pack names when using stylesheet_packs_with_chunks_tag helper otherwise you will get duplicated chunks on the page.

<%# DO %>
# <%= stylesheet_packs_with_chunks_tag 'calendar', 'map' %>
<%# DON'T %>
# <%= stylesheet_packs_with_chunks_tag 'calendar' %>
# <%= stylesheet_packs_with_chunks_tag 'map' %>

[4.0.0.rc.3] - 2019-01-17

Fixed

Issue with javascript_pack_tag asset duplication #1898

Added

javascript_packs_with_chunks_tag helper, which creates html tags for a pack and all the dependent chunks, when using splitchunks.

<%= javascript_packs_with_chunks_tag 'calendar', 'map', 'data-turbolinks-track': 'reload' %>

<script src="/packs/vendor-16838bab065ae1e314.js" data-turbolinks-track="reload"></script>

[4.0.0.rc.2] - 2018-12-15

Fixed

Disable integrity hash generation #1835

[4.0.0.rc.1] - 2018-12-14

Breaking changes

Order of rules changed so you might have to change append to prepend, depending on how you want to process packs #1823

environment.loaders.prepend()

Separate CSS extraction from build environment #1625

# Extract and emit a css file
extract_css: true

Separate rule to compile node modules (fixes cases where ES6 libraries were included in the app code) #1823.

In previous versions only application code was transpiled. Now everything in node_modules is transpiled with Babel. In some cases it could break your build (known issue with mapbox-gl package being broken by Babel, mapbox/mapbox-gl-js#3422).

nodeModules loader ignores config.babel.js and uses hard-coded '@babel/preset-env', { modules: false } config.

To keep previous behavior, remove nodeModules loader specifying environment.loaders.delete('nodeModules'); in your config/webpack/environment.js file.
File loader extensions API #1823

# webpacker.yml
static_assets_extensions:
  - .pdf
  # etc..

Added

Move .babelrc and .postcssrc to .js variant #1822
Use postcss safe parser when optimising css assets #1822
Add split chunks api (undocumented)

const { environment } = require('@rails/webpacker')
// Enable with default config
environment.splitChunks()
// Configure via a callback
environment.splitChunks((config) =>
  Object.assign({}, config, { optimization: { splitChunks: false } })
)

Allow changing static file extensions using webpacker.yml (undocumented)

Breaking changes

If you are using react, vue, angular, elm, erb or coffeescript inside your packs/ please re-run the integration installers as described in the README.

bundle exec rails webpacker:install:react
bundle exec rails webpacker:install:vue
bundle exec rails webpacker:install:angular
bundle exec rails webpacker:install:elm
bundle exec rails webpacker:install:erb
bundle exec rails webpacker:install:coffee

Or simply copy required loaders used in your app from https://github.com/rails/webpacker/tree/master/lib/install/loaders into your config/webpack/loaders/ directory and add it to webpack build from config/webpack/environment.js

const erb = require('./loaders/erb')
const elm = require('./loaders/elm')
const typescript = require('./loaders/typescript')
const vue = require('./loaders/vue')
const coffee = require('./loaders/coffee')

environment.loaders.append('coffee', coffee)
environment.loaders.append('vue', vue)
environment.loaders.append('typescript', typescript)
environment.loaders.append('elm', elm)
environment.loaders.append('erb', erb)

In .postcssrc.yml you need to change the plugin name from postcss-smart-import to postcss-import:

plugins:
  postcss-import: {}
  postcss-cssnext: {}

Added (npm module)

Upgrade gems and webpack dependencies
postcss-import in place of postcss-smart-import

Removed (npm module)

postcss-smart-import, coffee-loader, url-loader, rails-erb-loader as dependencies
publicPath from file loader #1107

Resolved paths from webpacker.yml to compiler watched list

[3.1.1] - 2017-12-11

Fixed

Include default webpacker.yml config inside npm package

[3.1.0] - 2017-12-11

Added (npm module)

Expose base config from environment

environment.config.set('resolve.extensions', ['.foo', '.bar'])
environment.config.set('output.filename', '[name].js')
environment.config.delete('output.chunkFilename')
environment.config.get('resolve')
environment.config.merge({
  output: {
    filename: '[name].js'
  }
})

Expose new API's for loaders and plugins to insert at position

const jsonLoader = {
  test: /\.json$/,
  exclude: /node_modules/,
  loader: 'json-loader'
}

environment.loaders.append('json', jsonLoader)
environment.loaders.prepend('json', jsonLoader)
environment.loaders.insert('json', jsonLoader, { after: 'style' })
environment.loaders.insert('json', jsonLoader, { before: 'babel' })

// Update a plugin
const manifestPlugin = environment.plugins.get('Manifest')
manifestPlugin.opts.writeToFileEmit = false

// Update coffee loader to use coffeescript 2
const babelLoader = environment.loaders.get('babel')
environment.loaders.insert(
  'coffee',
  {
    test: /\.coffee(\.erb)?$/,
    use: babelLoader.use.concat(['coffee-loader'])
  },
  { before: 'json' }
)

Expose resolve.modules paths like loaders and plugins

environment.resolvedModules.append('vendor', 'vendor')

Enable sourcemaps in style and css loader
Separate css and sass loader for easier configuration. style loader is now css loader, which resolves .css files and sass loader resolves .scss and .sass files.

// Enable css modules with sass loader
const sassLoader = environment.loaders.get('sass')
const cssLoader = sassLoader.use.find(
  (loader) => loader.loader === 'css-loader'
)

cssLoader.options = Object.assign({}, cssLoader.options, {
  modules: true,
  localIdentName: '[path][name]__[local]--[hash:base64:5]'
})

Expose rest of configurable dev server options from webpacker.yml

quiet: false
headers:
  'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': '*'
watch_options:
  ignored: /node_modules/

pretty option to disable/enable color and progress output when running dev server

dev_server:
  pretty: false

Enforce deterministic loader order in desc order, starts processing from top to bottom
Enforce the entire path of all required modules match the exact case of the actual path on disk using case sensitive paths plugin.
Add url loader to process and embed smaller static files

Removed

resolve url loader #1042

Added (Gem)

Allow skipping webpacker compile using an env variable

WEBPACKER_PRECOMPILE=no|false|n|f
WEBPACKER_PRECOMPILE=false bundle exec rails assets:precompile

Use WEBPACKER_ASSET_HOST instead of ASSET_HOST for CDN
Alias webpacker:compile task to assets:precompile if is not defined so it works without sprockets

[3.0.2] - 2017-10-04

Added

Allow dev server connect timeout (in seconds) to be configurable, default: 0.01

# Change to 1s
Webpacker.dev_server.connect_timeout = 1

Restrict the source maps generated in production #770
Binstubs #833
Allow dev server settings to be overridden by env variables #843
A new lookup method to manifest to perform lookup without raise and return nil

Webpacker.manifest.lookup('foo.js')
# => nil
Webpacker.manifest.lookup!('foo.js')
# => raises Webpacker::Manifest::MissingEntryError

Catch all exceptions in DevServer.running? and return false #878

Removed

Inline CLI args for dev server binstub, use env variables instead
Coffeescript as core dependency. You have to manually add coffeescript now, if you are using it in your app.

yarn add coffeescript@1.12.7

# OR coffeescript 2.0
yarn add coffeescript

[3.0.1] - 2017-09-01

Fixed

Missing node_modules/.bin/* files by bumping minimum Yarn version to 0.25.2 #727
webpacker:compile task so that fails properly when webpack compilation fails #728
Rack dev server proxy middleware when served under another proxy (example: pow), which uses HTTP_X_FORWARDED_HOST header resulting in 404 for webpacker assets
Make sure tagged logger works with rails < 5 #716

Added

Allow webpack dev server listen host/ip to be configurable using additional --listen-host option
```
./bin/webpack-dev-server --listen-host 0.0.0.0 --host localhost
```

Removed

watchContentBase from devServer config so it doesn't unncessarily trigger live reload when manifest changes. If you have applied this workaround from #724, please revert the change from config/webpack/development.js since this is now fixed.

[3.0.0] - 2017-08-30

Added

resolved_paths option to allow adding additional paths webpack should look up when resolving modules

# config/webpacker.yml
# Additional paths webpack should look up modules
resolved_paths: [] # empty by default

Webpacker::Compiler.fresh? and Webpacker::Compiler.stale? answer the question of whether compilation is needed. The old Webpacker::Compiler.compile? predicate is deprecated.
Dev server config class that exposes config options through singleton.
```
Webpacker.dev_server.running?
```
Rack middleware proxies webpacker requests to dev server so we can always serve from same-origin and the lookup works out of the box - no more paths prefixing
env attribute on Webpacker::Compiler allows setting custom environment variables that the compilation is being run with
```
Webpacker::Compiler.env['FRONTEND_API_KEY'] = 'your_secret_key'
```

Breaking changes

Note: requires running bundle exec rails webpacker:install

config/webpack/**/*.js:

The majority of this config moved to the @rails/webpacker npm package. webpacker:install only creates config/webpack/{environment,development,test,production}.js now so if you're upgrading from a previous version you can remove all other files.

webpacker.yml:

Move dev-server config options under defaults so it's transparently available in all environments
Add new HMR option for hot-module-replacement
Add HTTPS

Removed

Host info from manifest.json, now looks like this:

{
  "hello_react.js": "/packs/hello_react.js"
}

Fixed

Update webpack-dev-server.tt to respect RAILS_ENV and NODE_ENV values #502
Use 0.0.0.0 as default listen address for webpack-dev-server
Serve assets using localhost from dev server - #424

dev_server:
  host: localhost

On Windows, ruby bin/webpacker and ruby bin/webpacker-dev-server will now bypass yarn, and execute via node_modules/.bin directly - #584

Breaking changes

Add compile and cache_path options to config/webpacker.yml for configuring lazy compilation of packs when a file under tracked paths is changed #503. To enable expected behavior, update config/webpacker.yml:
```
default: &default
  cache_path: tmp/cache/webpacker
test:
  compile: true

development:
  compile: true

production:
  compile: false
```

Make test compilation cacheable and configurable so that the lazy compilation only triggers if files are changed under tracked paths. Following paths are watched by default -

  ["app/javascript/**/*", "yarn.lock", "package.json", "config/webpack/**/*"]

To add more paths:

# config/initializers/webpacker.rb or config/application.rb
Webpacker::Compiler.watched_paths << 'bower_components'

[2.0] - 2017-05-24

Fixed

Update .babelrc to fix compilation issues - #306
Duplicated asset hosts - #320, #397
Missing asset host when defined as a Proc or on ActionController::Base.asset_host directly - #397
Incorrect asset host when running webpacker:compile or bin/webpack in development mode - #397
Update webpacker:compile task to use stdout and stderr for better logging - #395
ARGV support for webpack-dev-server - #286

Added

Elm support. You can now add Elm support via the following methods:
- New app: rails new <app> --webpack=elm
- Within an existing app: rails webpacker:install:elm
Support for custom public_output_path paths independent of source_entry_path in config/webpacker.yml. output is also now relative to public/. - #397

Before (compile to public/packs):
```
source_entry_path: packs
public_output_path: packs
```
After (compile to public/sweet/js):
```
source_entry_path: packs

Source-map support for production bundle

Breaking Change

Consolidate and flatten paths.yml and development.server.yml config into one file - config/webpacker.yml - #403. This is a breaking change and requires you to re-install webpacker and cleanup old configuration files.
```
bundle update webpacker
bundle exec rails webpacker:install

# Remove old/unused configuration files
rm config/webpack/paths.yml
rm config/webpack/development.server.yml
rm config/webpack/development.server.js
```
Warning: For now you also have to add a pattern in .gitignore by hand.
