A Node.js CLI tool that wraps your webpack or webpack-dev-server command and replaces the noisy scroll of console output with a rich terminal dashboard showing build status, errors, warnings, and module/asset information. It works via a companion webpack plugin (webpack-dashboard/plugin) that communicates with the CLI over a socket, and also has an Electron-based GUI variant.
Use cases
- visualize webpack build status in the terminal instead of scrolling logs
- see webpack errors and warnings at a glance during development
- replace the noisy webpack-dev-server console output with a clean dashboard
- monitor module and asset sizes while running webpack dev server
- make my webpack dev workflow feel more polished for local development
When to choose
- you use webpack or webpack-dev-server for local development and want readable, structured terminal output
- you want a zero-config (one plugin line plus a CLI prefix) improvement to your dev server experience
- you work primarily in a terminal and prefer TUI-style dashboards over browser-based analyzers
When to avoid
- you use a different bundler such as Vite, esbuild, Rollup, or Turbopack with no webpack step
- you need deep bundle analysis or treemap visualizations rather than a live build dashboard
- you run builds in CI or non-interactive environments where a TUI dashboard adds no value
- you need cutting-edge webpack 5+ features and active development, since the project is in maintenance mode
