I have a very simple webapp where WebPack combines javascript into one bundle.js file, which is used on different html pages.
Unfortunately, even though I will point out in webpack configuration file that I want to use as a stand-alone library ( libraryTargetand library) that can be used script tag, it does not work. Everything seems to be encapsulated in the module, so my functions are not available.
index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="EN">
<head>
<title>Play! Webpack</title>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
</head>
<body>
<app>
Loading...
</app>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/bundles/bundle.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
<button type="button" onclick="ui.helloWorld()">Click Me!</button>
</body>
</html>
input and output section of my webpack.base.config.js
entry: [
'./app/main.js'
],
output: {
path: buildPath,
filename: 'bundle.js',
sourceMapFilename: "bundle.map",
publicPath: '/bundles/',
libraryTarget: 'var',
library: 'ui'
},
main.js (entry point)
function helloWorld() {
alert( 'Hello, world!' );
}
When I click on my button, I get this error in the console:
Uncaught TypeError: ui.helloWorld is not a function
at HTMLButtonElement.onclick (localhost/:14)
For additional information, the contents of my bundle.js file look something like this:
var ui = ...
(stuff here)
function(module, exports, __webpack_require__) {
__webpack_require__(79);
function helloWorld() {
alert('Hello, world!');
}
}
