Webpack PnP Externals

Allows you to exclude modules installed using Yarn's PnP from the bundle. Mostly useful for the backend. Intended to be used alongside webpack-node-externals. Works with both Webpack 4 and 5.

Installation

npm install -D webpack-pnp-externals

Usage

Webpack Documentation: Externals.

const {WebpackPnpExternals} = require('webpack-pnp-externals');

module.exports = {
    //...
    externals: [
        WebpackPnpExternals()
    ]
    //...
};

This will exclude all PnP modules from the bundle and instead load them with require.
