Provides PNPM compatible module resolvers to Webpack for Gatsby
The PNPM Compatibility Plugin for Gatsby is designed to resolve issues arising from Gatsby projects that use pnpm for package management. Given that pnpm employs a unique node_modules structure, Webpack may struggle to identify packages during the build process. This plugin effectively configures Webpack’s module and loader resolution, ensuring that Gatsby’s dependencies are recognized seamlessly. This is particularly beneficial for developers looking to streamline their build process without significant alterations to their project setup.
Installation is straightforward; adding the plugin to the devDependencies and configuring it in the gatsby-config.js file is all that’s needed to kick-start your project. With this plugin, users can efficiently build their Gatsby projects using pnpm, even with the complexities of module resolution.
Easy Installation: Just add the plugin to devDependencies and include it in gatsby-config.js to get started quickly.
Seamless Integration: Configures Webpack to recognize Gatsby’s dependencies, ensuring smooth project builds.
Custom Resolutions: Supports adding specific resolutions for sub-dependencies, making it easier to manage complex dependency trees.
Directory Resolution: Allows Webpack to resolve modules from custom directories outside the project’s node_modules, enhancing flexibility.
Project Path Configuration: Lets you define a custom project root, accommodating scenarios where your project structure differs from the default.
Strict Module Resolution: Offers an option to maintain pnpm’s scoping philosophy or switch to Node’s module resolution for broader compatibility.
Optional Parameters: Provides various options like include for specific package names, making it customizable to user needs.
