Plugin for webpack to cleanup extraneous files from the output path directory
npm install webpack-cleanup-pluginThis webpack plugin cleans up the extraneous files
from the webpack's output path.
Since it runs when the compile process is finished, it is useful when building
on production to remove the assets created by previous builds.
```
npm install webpack-cleanup-plugin --save-dev



⚠️ Beware! This plugins actually delete files. Make sure it's safe for your app
to delete files not generated by webpack. Use the exclude option if you want to
keep files that are not webpack assets.
Install via npm:
``
npm install webpack-cleanup-plugin --save-dev
Then add the plugin to the plugins array in your webpack's config, e.g.:
`js`
// webpack.config.js
import WebpackCleanupPlugin from 'webpack-cleanup-plugin';
const config = {
output: {
path: "/my/output/path"
},
// ...
plugins: [
new WebpackCleanupPlugin()
]
}
export default config;
* If you want to keep some files in the output path, e.g. a stats.json file generated from some otherexclude
plugins, use the Array option. It accepts globbing as in minimatch.
`jsstats.json
// Do not delete , important.json, and everything in folder`
new WebpackCleanupPlugin({
exclude: ["stats.json", "important.js", "folder/*/"],
})
* To mute the console output, use the quiet option:
`js`
new WebpackCleanupPlugin({
quiet: true,
})
* To print the list of the files that will be deleted without actually deleting them, use the preview option:
`js``
new WebpackCleanupPlugin({
preview: true,
})
