[Feature]: localVars hook to support RetryChunkPlugin

zackarychapple commented 1 month ago

What problem does this feature solve?

When trying to use webpack-retry-chunk-load-plugin the build fails because of a missing hook.

What does the proposed API of configuration look like?

Bring through the localVars hook to support RetryChunkPlugin

You can patch the same functionality without a plugin with something like this. Just put it at the top of your entrypoint and that should work.

(function() {
  // Save the original __webpack_require__.e function
  var originalEnsure = __webpack_require__.e;

  // Create a retry wrapper around the original ensure function
  function retryEnsure(chunkId, retries = 3) {
    function tryEnsure(attempt) {
      return originalEnsure(chunkId).catch(error => {
        if (attempt < retries) {
          console.warn(`Retrying to load chunk ${chunkId}, attempt ${attempt}`);
          return tryEnsure(attempt + 1);
        } else {
          console.error(`Failed to load chunk ${chunkId} after ${retries} attempts`);
          throw error;
        }
      });
    }
    return tryEnsure(1);
  }

  // Patch the original __webpack_require__.e function
  __webpack_require__.e = function(chunkId) {
    return retryEnsure(chunkId);
  };

  // If there are any additional properties or methods on __webpack_require__.e, copy them over
  for (var key in originalEnsure) {
    if (originalEnsure.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
      __webpack_require__.e[key] = originalEnsure[key];
    }
  }
})();
