webpack - exclude files from specific entry point

rated 0 times [ 100] [ 5] / answers: 1 / hits: 6007 / 6 Years ago, tue, november 27, 2018, 12:00:00

In my application I have multiple entry points.
One entry point is creating a bundle which is restricted only for signed in users.

Is there a way to tell webpack to not bundle any file that needs to be restricted into the 'public' bundle? and instead not bundle it / throw a compilation error?

is there an exclude per entry point?

The only solution I can think of is creating two separate webpack config files, is there a better way?

Thanks

--- edit ---

I will try to rephrase the question -
Is there a way to enforce that some files will be excluded from a specific bundle/entry point, or in other words, there are files that I want in a specific bundle, and not in a any other bundle, and I want to enforce it.

From the Webpack documentation link :
Exclude File and Multiple Configurations

module.exports = [{

      output: {

        filename: './dist-amd.js',

        libraryTarget: 'amd'

      },

      name: 'amd',

      entry: './app.js',

      mode: 'production',

      rules: [

              {

                test: /.js$/,

                exclude: [

                    'src/configs/configs/your1.js'

                  ]

              }

            ]

    }, {

      output: {

        filename: './dist-commonjs.js',

        libraryTarget: 'commonjs'

      },

      name: 'commonjs',

      entry: './app2.js',

      mode: 'production', 

      rules: [

              {

                test: /.js$/,

                exclude: [

                    'src/configs/configs/your2.js'

                  ]

              }

            ]

    }];



  };
