Required

Example (with RegExp)

In this example plugin will add module.hot.accept to all modules with filename index.js.

webpack.config.js

const { HotModuleReplacementPlugin } = require('webpack');
const { HotAcceptPlugin } = require('hot-accept-webpack-plugin');

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    new HotModuleReplacementPlugin(),
    new HotAcceptPlugin({
      test: /index\.js$/
    })
  ]
};

If you want to add module.hot.accept only to one specific file, you need declare more precise path to file. You can check next example.

Example (specific file)

For example, we have the following file structure

src/index.js
src/components/TodoList.js
src/components/index.js

If we want to add module.hot.accept only to src/index.js, we should use following RegExp: /src\/index\.js$/.

webpack.config.js

const { HotModuleReplacementPlugin } = require('webpack');
const { HotAcceptPlugin } = require('hot-accept-webpack-plugin');

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    new HotModuleReplacementPlugin(),
    new HotAcceptPlugin({
      test: /src\/index\.js$/
    })
  ]
};

Example (with string)

webpack.config.js

const { HotModuleReplacementPlugin } = require('webpack');
const { HotAcceptPlugin } = require('hot-accept-webpack-plugin');

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    new HotModuleReplacementPlugin(),
    new HotAcceptPlugin({
      test: 'index.js'
    })
  ]
};

Example (with test as array)

webpack.config.js

const { HotModuleReplacementPlugin } = require('webpack');
const { HotAcceptPlugin } = require('hot-accept-webpack-plugin');
module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    new HotModuleReplacementPlugin(),
    new HotAcceptPlugin({
      test: ['one-module.js', /two-module.js$/]
    })
  ]
};

This plugin is based on modify-source-webpack-plugin.
