[sibelius]

Feature Proposal

I'd like to provide some feedback to developers while webpack is compiling when using lazyCompilation experimental feature

Feature Use Case

just improve the dx, not thinking that something is broken

Please paste the results of npx webpack-cli info here, and mention other relevant information

What is information do you need?

[sibelius]

• lazy compilation is compiling this
• maybe a simple loading that does not block developer interaction with other chunks already loaded
• or a progress bar

[alexander-akait]

Do you want it in browser or in terminal?

[sibelius]

Browser, webpack already show this info on the terminal

[sibelius]

how can I implement this? where is the best place to put this code?

[alexander-akait]

Need to look how to get/hook information about compilation and send it to our overlay, but I think we already sent stats to client
