# Cypress Webpack Preprocessor [![CircleCI](https://circleci.com/gh/cypress-io/cypress-webpack-preprocessor.svg?style=svg)](https://circleci.com/gh/cypress-io/cypress-webpack-preprocessor) [![semantic-release][semantic-image] ][semantic-url]

Cypress preprocessor for bundling JavaScript via webpack

## Installation

```sh
npm install --save-dev @cypress/webpack-preprocessor
```

This package relies on the following [peer dependencies](https://docs.npmjs.com/files/package.json#peerdependencies):

* @babel/core
* @babel/preset-env
* babel-loader
* webpack

It is likely you already have these installed either directly or as a transient dependency, but if not, you will need to install them.

```sh
npm install --save-dev @babel/core @babel/preset-env babel-loader webpack
```

## Compatibility

This version is only compatible with webpack 4.x+ and Babel 7.x+.

* If you need webpack 2 or 3 support, use `@cypress/webpack-preprocessor` 1.x
* If you need Babel 6 support, use `@cypress/webpack-preprocessor` <= 2.x

This plugin (and all Cypress plugins) run in Cypress's own version of Node. If you require npm packages or your own code into the pluginsFile, they needs to be compatible with [the version of Node that Cypress uses]((https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/blob/develop/.node-version)).

## Usage

In your project's [plugins file](https://on.cypress.io/guides/tooling/plugins-guide.html):

```javascript
const webpack = require('@cypress/webpack-preprocessor')

module.exports = (on) => {
  on('file:preprocessor', webpack())
}
```

## Options

Pass in options as the second argument to `webpack`:

```javascript
const webpack = require('@cypress/webpack-preprocessor')

module.exports = (on) => {
  const options = {
    // send in the options from your webpack.config.js, so it works the same
    // as your app's code
    webpackOptions: require('../../webpack.config'),
    watchOptions: {},
  }

  on('file:preprocessor', webpack(options))
}
```

### webpackOptions

Object of webpack options. Just `require` in the options from your `webpack.config.js` to use the same options as your app.

**Default**:

```javascript
{
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.jsx?$/,
        exclude: [/node_modules/],
        use: [{
          loader: 'babel-loader',
          options: {
            presets: ['@babel/preset-env'],
          },
        }],
      },
    ],
  },
}
```

Source maps are always enabled unless explicitly disabled by specifying `devtool: false`.

### watchOptions

Object of options for watching. See [webpack's docs](https://webpack.js.org/configuration/watch).

**Default**: `{}`

### additionalEntries

An array of file path strings for additional entries to be included in the bundle.

By necessity, this preprocessor sets the entry point for webpack as the spec file or support file. The `additionalEntries` option allows you to specify more entry points in order to utilize webpack's [multi-main entry](https://webpack.js.org/concepts/entry-points/#single-entry-shorthand-syntax). This allows runtime dependency resolution.

**Default**: `[]`

**Example**:

```javascript
const webpack = require('@cypress/webpack-preprocessor')

module.exports = (on) => {
  const options = {
    webpackOptions: require('../../webpack.config'),
    additionalEntries: ['./app/some-module.js'],
  }

  on('file:preprocessor', webpack(options))
}
```

## Modifying default options

The default options are provided as `webpack.defaultOptions` so they can be more easily modified.

If, for example, you want to update the options for the `babel-loader` to add the [stage-3 preset](https://babeljs.io/docs/plugins/preset-stage-3/), you could do the following:

```javascript
const webpack = require('@cypress/webpack-preprocessor')

module.exports = (on) => {
  const options = webpack.defaultOptions
  options.webpackOptions.module.rules[0].use[0].options.presets.push('babel-preset-stage-3')

  on('file:preprocessor', webpack(options))
}
```

## Contributing

Use the [version of Node that matches Cypress](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/blob/develop/.node-version).

Run all tests once:

```shell
npm test
```

Run tests in watch mode:

```shell
npm run test-watch
```
