Target

webpack can compile for multiple environments or targets. To understand what a target is in detail, read through the targets concept page.

target

string | function(compiler)

Intructs webpack to target a specific environment.

string

The following string values are supported via WebpackOptionsApply:

Option
electron-renderer

Option
node
Description
Compile for usage in a Node.js-like environment (uses Node.js require to load chunks)
Option

For example, when the target is set to "electron", webpack includes multiple electron specific variables. For more information on which templates and externals are used, you can refer to webpack's source code.

function

If a function is passed, then it will be called with the compiler as a parameter. Set it to a function if none of the predefined targets from the list above meet your needs.

For example, if you don't want any of the plugins they applied:

const options = {
  target: () => undefined
};

Or you can apply specific plugins you want:

const webpack = require("webpack");

const options = {
  target: (compiler) => {
    compiler.apply(
      new webpack.JsonpTemplatePlugin(options.output),
      new webpack.LoaderTargetPlugin("web")
    );
  }
};
