Replace content while bundling.

$ npm install --save-dev webpack-plugin-replace

// webpack.config.js
const ReplacePlugin = require('webpack-plugin-replace');

module.exports = {
  // ...
  plugins: [
    new ReplacePlugin({
      exclude: [
        'foo.js',
        /node_modules/,
        filepath => filepath.includes('ignore')
      ],
      patterns: [{
        regex: /throw\s+(new\s+)?(Type|Reference)?Error\s*\(/g,
        value: 'return;('
      }],
      values: {
        'process.env.NODE_ENV': JSON.stringify('production'),
        'FOO_BAR': '"hello world"',
        'DEV_MODE': false,
      }
    })
  ]
};

Type: Array|String|Function|RegExp
Default: false

If multiple conditions are provided, matching any condition will exclude the filepath, which prevents any alterations.

Note: By default, nothing is excluded!

Type: Array|String|Function|RegExp
Default: true

If multiple conditions are provided, matching any condition will include & scan the filepath for eligible replacements.

Note: By default, all filepaths are included!

Type: Array
Default: []

An array of RegExp pattern definitions. Each definition is an object with regex <RegExp> and value <String|Function> keys. If value is a function, it takes the same arguments as String.prototype.relace.

Type: Object
Default: {}

An object whose keys are strings that should be replaced and whose values are strings the replacements.

If desired, you may forgo the values key & declare your key:value pairs directly to the main configuration. For example:

{
  exclude: /node_modules/,
  values: {
    'process.env.NODE_ENV': JSON.stringify('production'),
  }
}

// is the same as:

{
  exclude: /node_modules/,
  'process.env.NODE_ENV': JSON.stringify('production'),
}
