THE UDK PROJECT SUPPORT IS CURRENTLY SUSPENDED

After Webpack 5 release (2020-10-10), major changes are needed to make udk compatible.

We ignore what will be the future of udk for a possible next major release: maybe we will focus on the main feature which enhances multicompilers dependencies in sequential way.

When developments started, we thought that webpack multicompiler module was a great feature to optimize building workflows. But we found that multicompiler is rarely used.

udk packages will continue working indefinitely so no immediate changes are necessary.

Features

Install

npm install --save-dev udk webpack

The Gist

// webpack.config.js

const mode = process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production' ? 'production' : 'development';

const client = {
  name: 'client',
  entry: './src/client.js',
  output: {
    path: __dirname + '/dist',
    filename: 'client.js'
  }
};

const server = {
  name: 'server',
  dependencies: [ client.name ], // server depends on client
  entry: './src/server.js',
  output: {
    path: __dirname + '/dist',
    filename: 'server.js'
  }
};

module.exports = [ client, server ]; // webpack multi config
// src/client.js

import './shared';

console.log('Hello, client');
// src/server.js

import './shared';

console.log('Hello, server');
// src/shared.js

console.log('Hello, shared');
DEBUG=udk:* npx udk --config webpack.config.js --watch

Now, try to update each file and check the output:

  1. update client.js to check that server compiler will be invalidate when client compiler done ;
  2. update server.js to check that sever compiler will be the only one compiler invalided ;
  3. update shared.js to check that server compiler will wait client compiler done before compile too ;
  4. update shared.js with a syntax error to check that server won't compile because client compiler has error ;
  5. update shared.js to fix syntax error and check client and server compilers will run in serie.

Run webpack --config webpack.config.js --watch and try the same updates to check the difference between webpack and udk multi compiler behavior.

Under the hood, udk extends MultiCompiler only to ensure some behaviors:

  • Invalidate compiler dependants when a compiler done ;
  • Interupt compilation if a compiler dependency has stats errors ;
  • Wait compiler dependency done when a shared file are updated.

Command Line Interface
