LimitChunkCountPlugin 189 items in cache

While writing your code, you may have already added many code split points to load stuff on demand. After compiling you might notice that some chunks are too small - creating larger HTTP overhead. LimitChunkCountPlugin can post-process your chunks by merging them.

new webpack.optimize.LimitChunkCountPlugin({
  // Options...
});

Options

The following options are supported:

maxChunks

number

Limit the maximum number of chunks using a value greater than or equal to 1. Using 1 will prevent any additional chunks from being added as the entry/main chunk is also included in the count.

webpack.config.js

const webpack = require('webpack');
module.exports = {
  // ...
  plugins: [
    new webpack.optimize.LimitChunkCountPlugin({
      maxChunks: 5
    })
  ]
};

minChunkSize

Keeping chunk size above the specified limit is no longer a feature of this plugin. Use MinChunkSizePlugin instead.

Usage via CLI

This plugin and it's options can also be invoked via the CLI:

webpack --optimize-max-chunks 15
