This is a webpack plugin that uses the node-notifier package to display build status system notifications to the user.

This is a fork of the webpack-error-notification plugin. It adds support for Windows and there is no need to manually install the terminal-notifier package on OS X anymore.

The plugin will notify you about the first run (success/fail), all failed runs and the first successful run after recovering from a build failure. In other words: it will stay silent if everything is fine with your build.

Use npm to install this package:

npm install --save-dev webpack-notifier

Check the node-notifier Requirements whether you need to install any additional tools for your OS.

In the webpack.config.js file:

var WebpackNotifierPlugin = require('webpack-notifier');
var config = module.exports = {
  // ...
  plugins: [
    new WebpackNotifierPlugin(),
  ]
}

You can use any node-notifier options (depending on your OS) Except for options generated by the plugin itself:

• title - it can be not only a string, but also a function
• message - generated based on the value of other options
• contentImage - it can be an object with images for different statuses
• icon - matches with contentImage

Title shown in the notification.

new WebpackNotifierPlugin({title: 'Webpack'});

new WebpackNotifierPlugin({title: function (params) {
  return `Build status is ${params.status} with message ${params.message}`;
}});

Show status emoji icon before the message.

new WebpackNotifierPlugin({emoji: true});

Image shown in the notification. Can be a path string or object with paths.

var path = require('path');
new WebpackNotifierPlugin({contentImage: path.join(__dirname, 'logo.png')});

var path = require('path');
const statusesPaths = {
  success: path.join(__dirname, 'success.png'),
  warning: path.join(__dirname, 'warning.png'),
  error: path.join(__dirname, 'error.png')
}
new WebpackNotifierPlugin({contentImage: statusesPaths});

If set to true, warnings will not cause a notification.

new WebpackNotifierPlugin({excludeWarnings: true});

Trigger a notification every time. Call it "noisy-mode".

new WebpackNotifierPlugin({alwaysNotify: true});

Trigger a notification only on error.

new WebpackNotifierPlugin({onlyOnError: true});

Do not notify on the first build. This allows you to receive notifications on subsequent incremental builds without being notified on the initial build.

new WebpackNotifierPlugin({skipFirstNotification: true});
