clean-built-webpack-plugin

A webpack plugin to clean your built directory before compiling.

It is a better alternative to clean-webpack-plugin, because it supports files ignoring.

Getting started

To begin, you need install it.

npm i -D clean-built-webpack-plugin

Next, add plugin to your config, ex.:

// webpack.config.js
const CleanPlugin = require('clean-built-webpack-plugin');

const config = {
  plugins: [
    new CleanPlugin()
  ]
}

module.exports = config;
