Consider upgrading webpack to version 5 and setup cache https://webpack.js.org/configuration/other-options/#cache
The cache-loader allow to Caches the result of following loaders on disk (default) or in the database.
To begin, you'll need to install cache-loader:
npm install --save-dev cache-loaderAdd this loader in front of other (expensive) loaders to cache the result on disk.
webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.ext$/,
use: ['cache-loader', ...loaders],
include: path.resolve('src'),
},
],
},
};
⚠️ Note that there is an overhead for saving the reading and saving the cache file, so only use this loader to cache expensive loaders.
| Name | Type | n Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
cacheContext |
{String} |
undefined |
Allows you to override the default cache context in order to generate the cache relatively to a path. By default it will use absolute paths |
cacheKey |
{Function(options, request) -> {String}} |
undefined |
Allows you to override default cache key generator |
cacheDirectory |
{String} |
findCacheDir({ name: 'cache-loader' }) or os.tmpdir() |
Provide a cache directory where cache items should be stored (used for default read/write implementation) |
cacheIdentifier |
{String} |
cache-loader:{version} {process.env.NODE_ENV} |
Provide an invalidation identifier which is used to generate the hashes. You can use it for extra dependencies of loaders (used for default read/write implementation) |
compare |
{Function(stats, dep) -> {Boolean}} |
undefined |
Allows you to override default comparison function between the cached dependency and the one is being read. Return true to use the cached resource |
precision |
{Number} |
0 |
Round mtime by this number of milliseconds both for stats and dep before passing those params to the comparing function |
read |
{Function(cacheKey, callback) -> {void}} |
undefined |
Allows you to override default read cache data from file |
readOnly |
{Boolean} |
false |
Allows you to override default value and make the cache read only (useful for some environments where you don't want the cache to be updated, only read from it) |
write |
{Function(cacheKey, data, callback) -> {void}} |
undefined |
Allows you to override default write cache data to file (e.g. Redis, memcached) |
