Polyfill Node.js core modules in Webpack.

This module is only needed for Webpack 5+.

npm install node-polyfill-webpack-plugin

Add the following to your webpack.config.js:

const NodePolyfillPlugin = require('node-polyfill-webpack-plugin'); module.exports = { // Other rules... plugins: [ new NodePolyfillPlugin(), ], };

console, process, and most deprecated/internal Node.js core modules are not polyfilled by default. If you still need to polyfill them, you can use the additionalAliases option:

const NodePolyfillPlugin = require('node-polyfill-webpack-plugin'); module.exports = { // Other rules... plugins: [ new NodePolyfillPlugin({ additionalAliases: ['process', 'punycode'], }), ], };

The fs module resolves to nothing because its functionality cannot replicated in the browser.

Type: object

onlyAliases is mutually exclusive with excludeAliases and additionalAliases.

If you don't want a module to be polyfilled, you can specify aliases to be skipped here.

const NodePolyfillPlugin = require('node-polyfill-webpack-plugin'); module.exports = { // Other rules... plugins: [ new NodePolyfillPlugin({ excludeAliases: ['console'], }), ], };

Alternatively, you can choose to add certain aliases to the list of polyfilled modules. For example, you can choose to polyfill console.

const NodePolyfillPlugin = require('node-polyfill-webpack-plugin'); module.exports = { // Other rules... plugins: [ new NodePolyfillPlugin({ additionalAliases: ['console'], }), ], };

You can also choose to only include certain aliases, ignoring the defaults. For example, you can have only console polyfilled.

const NodePolyfillPlugin = require('node-polyfill-webpack-plugin'); module.exports = { // Other rules... plugins: [ new NodePolyfillPlugin({ onlyAliases: ['console'], }), ], };
