What is the difference between 「duplicate-package-checker-webpack-plugin」

[Sylvenas]

Great project !

When looking for webpack packaging duplicates, I was previously using duplicate-package-checker-webpack-plugin， I wanted to know the key point of difference between the two.

Thanks

Hi @Sylvenas -- the two are pretty similar for just the webpack plugin parts. The main difference is whereas duplicate-package-checker-webpack-plugin gives you the on-disk information of locations of duplicates, inspectpack's plugin focuses on the logical dependency view irrespective of node_modules flattening so you can more easily track down why the duplicates happened in the first place. Here you can see an example of how this plugin provides both on-disk and logical dependencies information.

Outside of the functional differences in the plugin, the other thing this project has:

• A standalone CLI with lots of options / views
• A full test suite of various scenarios
• Support for webpack 1-5 (and tests to support)

Hope that helps your evaluation!
