The stats option lets you precisely control what bundle information gets displayed. This can be a nice middle ground if you don't want to use quiet or noInfo because you want some bundle information, but not all of it.

For webpack-dev-server, this property needs to be in the devServer object.

For webpack-dev-middleware, this property needs to be in the webpack-dev-middleware's options object.

This option does not have any effect when using the Node.js API.

stats

object string

There are some presets available to use as a shortcut. Use them like this:

module.exports = {
  //...
  stats: 'errors-only'
};

Preset	Alternative	Description
'errors-only' none	none	Only output when errors happen
'errors-warnings' none	none	Only output errors and warnings happen
'minimal' none	none	Only output when errors or new compilation happen
'none' false	false	Output nothing
'normal' true	true	Standard output
'verbose' none	none	Output everything

For more granular control, it is possible to specify exactly what information you want. Please note that all of the options in this object are optional.

stats.all

A fallback value for stats options when an option is not defined. It has precedence over local webpack defaults.

module.exports = {
  //...
  stats: {
    all: undefined
  }
};

stats.assets

boolean = true

Tells stats whether to show the asset information. Set stats.assets to false to hide it.

module.exports = {
  //...
  stats: {
    assets: false
  }
};

stats.assetsSort

string = 'id'

Tells stats to sort the assets by a given field. All of the sorting fields are allowed to be used as values for stats.assetsSort. Use ! prefix in the value to reverse the sort order by a given field.

module.exports = {
  //...
  stats: {
    assetsSort: '!size'
  }
};

stats.builtAt

boolean = true

Tells stats whether to add the build date and the build time information. Set stats.builtAt to false to hide it.

module.exports = {
  //...
  stats: {
    builtAt: false
  }
};

stats.cached

boolean = true

Tells stats whether to add information about the cached modules (not the ones that were built).

module.exports = {
  //...
  stats: {
    cached: false
  }
};

stats.cachedAssets

boolean = true

Tells stats whether to add information about the cached assets. Setting stats.cachedAssets to false will tell stats to only show the emitted files (not the ones that were built).

  }
};

stats.children

boolean = true

Tells stats whether to add information about the children.

module.exports = {
  //...
  stats: {
    children: false
  }
};

stats.chunks

boolean = true

Tells stats whether to add information about the chunk. Setting stats.chunks to false results in a less verbose output.

module.exports = {
  //...
  stats: {
    chunks: false
  }
};

stats.chunkGroups

boolean = true

Tells stats whether to add information about the namedChunkGroups.

module.exports = {
  //...

  }
};

stats.colors

boolean = false object

Tells stats whether to output in the different colors.

module.exports = {
  //...

You can specify your own terminal output colors using ANSI escape sequences

module.exports = {
  //...
  colors: {
    green: '\u001b[32m',
  },
};

stats.depth

boolean = false

Tells stats whether to display the distance from the entry point for each module.

module.exports = {
  //...

    errorDetails: false
  }
};

stats.excludeAssets

array = []: string | RegExp | function (assetName) => boolean string RegExp function (assetName) => boolean

module.exports = {
  //...
  stats: {
    excludeAssets: [
      'filter',
      /filter/,
      (assetName) => assetName.contains('moduleA')
    ]
  }
};

stats.excludeModules

array = []: string | RegExp | function (assetName) => boolean string RegExp function (assetName) => boolean boolean: false

Tells stats to exclude the matching modules information. This can be done with a string, a RegExp, a function that is getting the module's source as an argument and returns a boolean. stats.excludeModules can be an array of any of the above. stats.excludeModules's configuration is merged with the stats.exclude's configuration value.

module.exports = {
  //...
  stats: {
    excludeModules: [

• 'verbose' - log everything except debug and trace. Collapsed groups are displayed in expanded state.

module.exports = {
  //...
  stats: {
    logging: 'verbose'
  }
};

stats.loggingDebug

array = []: string | RegExp | function (name) => boolean string RegExp function (name) => boolean

      /MyPlugin/,
      (name) => name.contains('MyPlugin')
    ]
  }
};

    warnings: false
  }
};

stats.warningsFilter

};

Sorting fields

For assetsSort, chunksSort and modulesSort there are several possible fields that you can sort items by:

• 'id' is the item's id;
• 'name' - a item's name that was assigned to it upon importing;
• 'size' - a size of item in bytes;
• 'chunks' - what chunks the item originates from (for example, if there are multiple subchunks for one chunk - the subchunks will be grouped together according to their main chunk);
• 'errors' - amount of errors in items;
• 'warnings' - amount of warnings in items;
• 'failed' - whether the item has failed compilation;
• 'cacheable' - whether the item is cacheable;
• 'built' - whether the asset has been built;
• 'prefetched' - whether the asset will be prefetched;
• 'optional' - whether the asset is optional;
• 'identifier' - identifier of the item;
• 'index' - item's processing index;
• 'index2'
• 'profile'
• 'issuer' - an identifier of the issuer;
• 'issuerId' - an id of the issuer;
• 'issuerName' - a name of the issuer;
• 'issuerPath' - a full issuer object. There's no real need to sort by this field;

Extending stats behaviours

If you want to use one of the pre-defined behaviours e.g. 'minimal' but still override one or more of the rules, see the source code. You would want to copy the configuration options from case 'minimal': ... and add your additional rules while providing an object to stats.

webpack.config.js

module.exports = {
  //..
  stats: {
    // copied from `'minimal'`
    all: false,
    modules: true,
    maxModules: 0,
    errors: true,
    warnings: true,
    // our additional options
    moduleTrace: true,
    errorDetails: true
  }
};
