Webpack is throwing a warning: "This seems to be a pre-built javascript file. Though this is possible, it's not remended. Try to require the original source to get better results."

However, this library I am including is intentionally pre-built such that consuming applications do not need to replicate its build steps and configuration.

How do I ignore this warning?

Fix this by adding the path to the prebuilt module into your webpack config under module:

module: {
    // ...
    noParse: [
      '/node_modules/prebuiltlib/dist/build.js',
    ]
    // ...
}

This has the added benefit of slightly faster build times.

I just copy and paste the same node_module from another solution into my repo, it's works for me i got error for jspdf.js library of node module. this is due to the different versions and code i guess.
