Eliminate empty chunks?

   February 23, 2021  5 Comments on Eliminate empty chunks?

Assuming you have an entry pointing at just CSS files and use ExtractTextPlugin to push those to a file of its own, webpack will still generate a file like this for the chunk:

webpackJsonp([1,3],[function(n,c){}]);

This does literally nothing. But unfortunately tooling like HtmlWebpackPlugin will still generate a script tag for it. It might be sensible to detect noop cases like this and not to emit the JS files at all in these kind of cases.

  1. Please avoid adding +1 comments, they only add confusion to the issue. Instead, add a reaction to the original comment

  4. There is so many people having this problem… Is there any update about a fix… This issue is already 3 years old! 😞
