bundler-purr 🐱

A Vite/Webpack plugin that purrs on success, mrrps on warnings, and hisses on errors. Because your build deserves feelings.

Install

npm install bundler-purr --save-dev

Sounds

Build Result	Sound	Vibe
✅ Clean compile	purr	All is well. Good human.
⚠️ Warnings	mrrp	Something's off. Cat is watching you.
❌ Errors	hiss	Do not touch. Everything is broken.

Usage

Vite

// vite.config.js
import { defineConfig } from "vite";
import { purr } from "bundler-purr";

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    purr()
  ]
});

Webpack

// webpack.config.js
const { PurrPlugin } = require("bundler-purr");

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    new PurrPlugin()
  ]
};

Options

Both plugins accept the same options object:

purr({
  // Bring your own sounds — any path, any audio format your system supports
  sounds: {
    purr: "./sounds/my-cat-purring.mp3",
    mrrp: "./sounds/my-cat-mrrping.mp3",
    hiss: "./sounds/my-cat-hissing.mp3",
  },

  // Disable all sounds, useful for CI environments
  silent: process.env.CI === "true",
})

sounds

Optional. Override any or all of the default bundled sounds with your own audio files. Paths are resolved relative to your project root. Supports any format your system's audio backend can play (mp3, ogg, wav, etc.).

silent

Optional, default false. Set to true to disable all sounds. Recommended to set silent: process.env.CI === "true" so your CI pipeline doesn't try to play audio and cry about it.

Audio Backend

bundler-purr uses play-sound under the hood, which delegates to whatever audio player is available on your system:

• macOS — uses afplay (built in, works out of the box ✅)
• Windows — uses mplayer or wmplayer
• Linux — uses mpg123, mpg321, play (sox), or mplayer

If no audio backend is found, bundler-purr will warn but will not break your build. It fails gracefully — no cats were harmed.

Bringing Your Own Sounds

Don't like the default sounds? Got a recording of your own cat? Perfect.

purr({
  sounds: {
    purr: "./assets/sounds/duchess-purring.mp3",
    hiss:  "./assets/sounds/duchess-judging-you.mp3",
    // leave mrrp out to keep the default
  }
})

---

Contributing

PRs welcome. Especially if they include new cat sounds.
