  • Type: boolean 'mock' | 'warn-mock' | 'eval-only'

Options:

  • true: The dirname of the input file relative to the context option.
  • false: Webpack won't touch your __dirname code, which means you have the regular Node.js __dirname behavior. The dirname of the output file when run in a Node.js environment.
