I have a problem that has never happened to me before: I'm compiling a little basic starter browser web app (with React) using Webpack + Babel 7. I've got three different file:
withAuth.js The Auth High Order ComponentNavBar.js The NavBar ComponentLogin.js The Login FormIf I import the withAuth HOC in the NavBar is everything alright, but if I import the withAuth component in the Login.js file it return undefined
/** withAuth.js */
console.log('withAuth Loaded');
const withAuth = Child => ChildProps => (
<AuthContext.Consumer>
{ authClient => <Child {...ChildProps} authClient={authClient} }
</AuthContext.Consumer>
)
export { withAuth };
/** NavBar.js */
import { withAuth } from 'HOC/Auth';
console.log('NavBar Loaded', withAuth); // <- My HOC
const NavBarComponent = (authClient) => { /* ... My Code ... */ }
const NavBar = withAuth(NavBarComponent);
export default NavBar;
/** Login.js */
import { withAuth } from 'HOC/Auth';
console.log('Login Loaded', withAuth); // <- undefined ??
const LoginFormComponent = (authClient) => { /* ... My Code ... */ }
const LoginForm = withAuth(LoginFormComponent);
// /|\
// |
// Will produce an Error, withAuth is Undefined
This is my Webpack Configuration:
/** webpack.config.js */
module.exports = {
entry: { core: 'index.js' },
resolve: {
alias: {
HOC: './path/to/hoc/folder'
}
},
optimization: {
runtimeChunk: 'single',
splitChunks: {
chunks: 'all'
}
},
plugins: [ /* Various Plugin */ ],
module: {
rules: [ /* My Rules */ ]
}
}
Any one know why my HOC is undefined?
Edit: I've placed Console Log in the tree file. The result are:
'Login Loaded' - undefined
'withAuth Loaded'
'NavBar Loaded' - function() { }
Edit 2: This is the files structure:
app/
|-high-order-component/
| |-auth/
| |-withAuth.js
|
|-layout-component/
| |-navbar/
| |-index.js
|
|-pages/
|-auth/
|-login.js
Resolved
After much testing and research throughout the afternoon I came to the solution of the problem. As I said in the question, mine is a larger project and I only partially wrote its structure because I thought the problem was located in those three files.
In reality, the problem was a Circular Dependency problem and not a Webpack configuration problem. In my project I have a module called 'Route' that store all Path and all Component for Path, so I can build the React Router using Array Map function. That module has a function that allow me to Route through path and that can return me a path string to a Component. My problem was due to the fact that this module is often called in the project and this has created a Circular Dependency.
Webpack doesn't show the Circular Dependency during compiling, but I found useful adding a plugin, called CircualDependencyPlugin. This plugin will break Webpack compiling when a Circual Dependency will be found.
Splitting the Route module into two files solved my problem.
