Using webpack 2 from gulp (webpack-stream for webpack 2)?

Question

I am trying to update to webpack 2. I use webpack-stream to run stuff from gulp, but it appears that webpack-stream is using it's own dependency on webpack which is webpack 1.

I have not been able to find any webpack-stream with webpack 2. Is there any possibility to use webpack 2 from gulp?

You need to have both webpack and webpack-stream installed:

npm install --save-dev webpack-stream
npm install --save-dev webpack@2.1.0-beta.25

Then you can pass the webpack object as the second parameter to webpack-stream:

var gulp = require('gulp');
var webpackStream = require('webpack-stream');
var webpack2 = require('webpack');

gulp.task('default', function() {
  return gulp.src('src/entry.js')
    .pipe(webpackStream({/* options */}, webpack2))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('dist/'));
});
