Conditional build based on environment using Webpack

by

You can use the define plugin.

I use it by doing something as simple as this in your webpack build file where env is the path to a file that exports an object of settings:

// Webpack build config
plugins: [
    new webpack.DefinePlugin({
        ENV: require(path.join(__dirname, './path-to-env-files/', env))
    })
]

// Settings file located at `path-to-env-files/dev.js`
module.exports = { debug: true };

and then this in your code

if (ENV.debug) {
    console.log('Yo!');
}

It will strip this code out of your build file if the condition is false. You can see a working Webpack build example here.
