  • Meteor with Webpack in 2018 — Faster compilation and better source handling
    7 projects | dev.to | 29 Jul 2021
    For example, you have a Progressive Web Application using Service Workers, written in Angular, then you have to create a service worker manifest based on your output files. We don’t have a solution for this on Meteor CLI natively. However, Webpack has a lot of community plugins such as OfflinePlugin , Workbox and many others for this problem as a solution. Just install them, and add to your webpack.config.js . Meteor-Webpack will handle it like you’re working on a pure Webpack project.

    Since Omatsuri is a browser only application the only thing that we need from service worker is to cache assets and provide app shell. Offline plugin does exactly that, the only thing we need to do – add it to the production build in webpack config:

  • Creating a web worker inside React
    2 projects | /r/codehunter | 8 Apr 2022
    I have a React app created with create-react-app, not ejected. I'm trying to use web workers. I've tried the worker-loader package (https://github.com/webpack-contrib/worker-loader).
  • Loading web workers using Webpack 5

    worker-loader is the pre-webpack-5 way to load web workers, and its documentation highlights how it’s not compatible with webpack 5 (“Worker Loader is a loader for webpack 4”). Still, in my experience, besides a few quirks, worker-loader can be used with webpack 5, and it offers several more customization options than webpack 5’s built-in web worker support.

    I was surprised how easy it is to work with web workers in webpack. All you need is worker-loader that will handle all worker bundling for you.
