Currently CLI passes the webpack.config.js at the root of the application as config to the spawned webpack process. This file is managed by both the developers and nativescript-dev-webpack (when you update this package, you often have to update the file, which overrides any custom settings).
In order to allow easier upgrades and customizations, add an option in nsconfig.json (
webpackConfigPath
) to set the path to config file passed to webpack process. This way, thewebpack.config.js
can be managed by nativescript-dev-webpack and all customizations can be done in another file. The path to custom file can be set in nsconfig.json and CLI will pass it to webpack.PR Checklist
