wordpress webpack javascript function not found from Theme-CodePudding

my alertHi.js will be loaded but i cant use it from the Theme.

JS-Source alertHi.js:

this ( inc/Components/Darkmode/src/alertHi.js ) will be executed when i load the page:

function alertHi(){ alert('hi') }
alertHi();
console.log('is loaded');

But

html-Source

<a onclick="alertHi()">☀️</a>

creates this error:

Error: alertHi is not defined

but if i call the function alertHi() from the page i get Error:

Uncaught ReferenceError: alertHi is not defined
    onclick http://localhost/wordpress/:1

Any idea?

JS-Min-Source dist/alertHi.min.js:

webback has generated dist/alertHi.min.js

will also not be found if i using

(function($) {
    function alertHi(){
       alert('hi')
    }
})(jQuery);

CodePudding user response：

webpack by default wraps all of the bundle internally, you can't access it externally unless explicitly setting it in the webpack config as a library. you can also hack it out and add window.alertHi = alertHi in your js code but this is not recommended.

please refer to webpack's configuration API and set your bundle output to be a library. (preferably - UMD/commonjs library)

CodePudding user response：

inspired by this question ( Define global variable with webpack ) and the answers i found a solution:

Use the global window object

window.alertHi = function (){ alert('hi') }
