API - Plugins about webpack.js.org HOT 8 CLOSED

I am on vacation for the next 3 weeks but maybe afterwards.

from webpack.js.org.

Can use this to link to individual issues I will create for each of these bullet points.

Implementing Custom Plugin Hooks (like html-webpack-plugin)

We use those in Carte Blanche too (@jantimon helped us build it, so that's why 😁) so I can document that!

from webpack.js.org.

Well webpack is very modular - the custom plugin hooks are exactly the same as the "standard" hooks.

@jantimon Exactly. I think one we start educating developers about Tapabale etc. Plugins and how they work will be way easier.

Does anyone have a really good understanding of Tapable besides @sokra

from webpack.js.org.

Tapable is very simple - you can just read the source it contains only very small helper functions.

It is similar to event emitter however it allows plugins to queue up and modify the given value.
Unfortunately it doesn't allow to listen to an event only once or to unbind events.

@jantimon would you be willing to tackle the Tapable page? Like explain how it works, even though it's pretty simple code we want to explain it to somone in a clear and consice way. I was thinking about writing the schema/typescript definition for it as well.

Closing for the same reason mentioned in #36. Let's open more targeted issues/prs if there's still work left to do.
