Want to be able to import webpack plugins to the webpack config in vue.config.js

What problem does this feature solve?

Currently there is no way to import new webpack plugins to the vue.config.js. At least not that I know of. Please enlighten me if I’m mistaken. My use case is that I’ve made modifications to an already existing webpack plugin, and I want to use my version instead.

What does the proposed API look like?

// vue.config.js
import NameOfPlugin from 'path/to/plugin';

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

The original docs file linked by @Akryum has moved here: https://github.com/vuejs/vue-cli/blob/dev/docs/guide/webpack.md

vuejs.config.js is a file executed by vue-cli and thus nodejs (which doesn’t support import/export syntax yet).
