Changes w.r.t. mozilla/localForage :

• Removed promise module import.
• Removed all moduleType specific code.
• Lazy load localforage drivers using webpack bundle loader.

Installation :

• Download the project or install via bower bower install webpack-localforage or npm npm install webpack-localforage
• Install webpack npm install webpack with following loaders
  • bundle loader npm install bundle-loader
  • imports loader npm install imports-loader
  • exports loader npm install exports-loader
• Install es6-promise polyfill (If you are targeting browsers with no es6 promise support). bower install es6-promise

Configuration :

var path = require('path');
/* Adjust the bower path according to your project structure */
var bowerComponentsPath = path.join(__dirname, '/bower_components');

var config = {
    module: {
            {
                test: /[\/]promise\.js$/,
                loaders: ['exports?Promise']
            },
            {
                test: /[\/](localforage|indexeddb|localstorage|websql)\.js$/,
                loaders: ['imports?this=>window']
            }
    },
    resolve: {
        alias: {
            localforage: path.join(bowerComponentsPath, 'webpack-localForage/src/localforage.js'),
            // A polyfill for ES6-style Promises
            promise: path.join(bowerComponentsPath, 'es6-promise/promise.js'),
        }
    }
};
module.exports = config;

Usage

If you are targeting browsers with no promise support (http://caniuse.com/#feat=promises), lazy load polyfill.

var es6PromiseSupport =
        'Promise' in window &&
        /*
         * Some of these methods are missing from
         * Firefox/Chrome experimental implementations
         */
        'resolve' in window.Promise &&
        'reject' in window.Promise &&
        'all' in window.Promise &&
        'race' in window.Promise &&
        (function () {
            /*
             * Older version of the spec had a resolver object
             * as the arg rather than a function
             */
            var resolve;
            new window.Promise(function (r) {
                resolve = r;
            });
            return (typeof resolve === 'function');
        }());

if (!es6PromiseSupport) {
    var load = require('bundle?lazy!promise');
    load(function (promise) {
        callback();
    });
} else {
    callback();
}
var callback = function(){
    require('localforage');
}
