What does “The code generator has deoptimised the styling of [some file] as it exceeds the max of ”100KB“” mean?

Question

I added a new npm package to my project and require it in one of my modules.

Now I get this message from webpack,

build modulesNote: The code generator

Answer 1

in webpack 4 with multiple module rules you would just do something like this in your .js rule:

{
     test: /\.(js)$/,
     loader: 'babel-loader',
     options: {
          presets: ['es2015'],    // or whatever
          plugins: [require('babel-plugin-transform-class-properties')], // or whatever
          compact: true    // or false during development
     }
},
