Dynamically get your dependencies from a cdn rather than bundling them in your app
$ npm install --save-dev dynamic-cdn-webpack-plugin module-to-cdn
If you are using webpack --version <= 3 then you should be installing with the following command.
$ npm install --save-dev dynamic-cdn-webpack-plugin@3.4.1 module-to-cdn

List the only modules that should be served by the cdn
Type: Array<string>

List the modules that will always be bundled (not be served by the cdn)
Type: boolean
Default: false
Log whether the library is being served by the cdn or is bundled
Type: string, function

Allow you to define a custom module resolver, it can either be a function or an npm module.
The resolver should return (or resolve as a Promise) either null or an object with the keys: name, var, url, version.
