||
|
This is a [webpack](http://webpack.github.io/) plugin that simplifies creation of HTML files to serve your
|
||
|
webpack bundles. This is especially useful for webpack bundles that include
|
||
|
a hash in the filename which changes every compilation. You can either let the plugin generate an HTML file for you, supply
|
||
|
your own template using lodash templates or use your own loader.

|
||
|
Installation
|
||
|
------------
|
||
|
Install the plugin with npm:
|
||
|
```shell
|
||
|
$ npm install html-webpack-plugin --save-dev
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Third party addons:
|
||
|
-------------
|
||
|
|
||
|
The html-webpack-plugin provides [hooks](https://github.com/jantimon/html-webpack-plugin#events) to extend it to your needs.
|
||
|
There are already some really powerful plugins which can be integrated with zero configuration:
|
||
|
|
||
|
* [webpack-subresource-integrity](https://www.npmjs.com/package/webpack-subresource-integrity) for enhanced asset security
|
||
|
* [appcache-webpack-plugin](https://github.com/lettertwo/appcache-webpack-plugin) for iOS and Android offline usage
|
||
|
* [favicons-webpack-plugin](https://github.com/jantimon/favicons-webpack-plugin) which generates favicons and icons for iOS, Android and desktop browsers
|
||
|
* [html-webpack-harddisk-plugin](https://github.com/jantimon/html-webpack-harddisk-plugin) can be used to always write to disk the html file, useful when webpack-dev-server / HMR are being used
|
||
|
* [html-webpack-inline-source-plugin](https://github.com/DustinJackson/html-webpack-inline-source-plugin) to inline your assets in the resulting HTML file
|
||
|
* [html-webpack-exclude-assets-plugin](https://github.com/jamesjieye/html-webpack-exclude-assets-plugin) for excluding assets using regular expressions
|
||
|
* [html-webpack-include-assets-plugin](https://github.com/jharris4/html-webpack-include-assets-plugin) for including lists of js or css file paths (such as those copied by the copy-webpack-plugin).
|
||
|
* [script-ext-html-webpack-plugin](https://github.com/numical/script-ext-html-webpack-plugin) to add `async`, `defer` or `module` attributes to your`<script>` elements, or even in-line them
|
||
|
* [style-ext-html-webpack-plugin](https://github.com/numical/style-ext-html-webpack-plugin) to convert your `<link>`s to external stylesheets into `<style>` elements containing internal CSS
|
||
|
* [resource-hints-webpack-plugin](https://github.com/jantimon/resource-hints-webpack-plugin) to add resource hints for faster initial page loads using `<link rel='preload'>` and `<link rel='prefetch'>`
|
||
|
* [preload-webpack-plugin](https://github.com/GoogleChrome/preload-webpack-plugin) for automatically wiring up asynchronous (and other types) of JavaScript chunks using `<link rel='preload'>` helping with lazy-loading
|
||
|
* [link-media-html-webpack-plugin](https://github.com/yaycmyk/link-media-html-webpack-plugin) allows for injected stylesheet `<link />` tags to have their media attribute set automatically; useful for providing specific desktop/mobile/print etc. stylesheets that the browser will conditionally download
|
||
|
* [inline-chunk-manifest-html-webpack-plugin](https://github.com/jouni-kantola/inline-chunk-manifest-html-webpack-plugin) for inlining webpack's chunk manifest. Default extracts manifest and inlines in `<head>`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Basic Usage
|
||
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
||
|
The plugin will generate an HTML5 file for you that includes all your webpack
|
||
|
bundles in the body using `script` tags. Just add the plugin to your webpack
|
||
|
config as follows:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```javascript
|
||
|
var HtmlWebpackPlugin = require('html-webpack-plugin');
|
||
|
var webpackConfig = {
|
||
|
entry: 'index.js',
|
||
|
output: {
|
||
|
path: __dirname + '/dist',
|
||
|
filename: 'index_bundle.js'
|
||
|
},
|
||
|
plugins: [new HtmlWebpackPlugin()]
|
||
|
};
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
This will generate a file `dist/index.html` containing the following:
|
||
|
```html
|
||
|
<!DOCTYPE html>
|
||
|
<html>
|
||
|
<head>
|
||
|
<meta charset="UTF-8">
|
||
|
<title>Webpack App</title>
|
||
|
</head>
|
||
|
<body>
|
||
|
<script src="index_bundle.js"></script>
|
||
|
</body>
|
||
|
</html>
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
If you have multiple webpack entry points, they will all be included with `script`
|
||
|
tags in the generated HTML.
|
||
|
|
||
|
If you have any CSS assets in webpack's output (for example, CSS extracted
|
||
|
with the [ExtractTextPlugin](https://github.com/webpack/extract-text-webpack-plugin))
|
||
|
then these will be included with `<link>` tags in the HTML head.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Configuration
|
||
|
-------------
|
||
|
You can pass a hash of configuration options to `HtmlWebpackPlugin`.
|
||
|
Allowed values are as follows:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- `title`: The title to use for the generated HTML document.
|
||
|
- `filename`: The file to write the HTML to. Defaults to `index.html`.
|
||
|
You can specify a subdirectory here too (eg: `assets/admin.html`).
|
||
|
- `template`: Webpack require path to the template. Please see the [docs](https://github.com/jantimon/html-webpack-plugin/blob/master/docs/template-option.md) for details.
|
||
|
- `inject`: `true | 'head' | 'body' | false` Inject all assets into the given `template` or `templateContent` - When passing `true` or `'body'` all javascript resources will be placed at the bottom of the body element. `'head'` will place the scripts in the head element.
|
||
|
- `favicon`: Adds the given favicon path to the output html.
|
||
|
- `minify`: `{...} | false` Pass [html-minifier](https://github.com/kangax/html-minifier#options-quick-reference)'s options as object to minify the output.
|
||
|
- `hash`: `true | false` if `true` then append a unique webpack compilation hash to all
|
||
|
included scripts and CSS files. This is useful for cache busting.
|
||
|
- `cache`: `true | false` if `true` (default) try to emit the file only if it was changed.
|
||
|
- `showErrors`: `true | false` if `true` (default) errors details will be written into the HTML page.
|
||
|
- `chunks`: Allows you to add only some chunks (e.g. only the unit-test chunk)
|
||
|
- `chunksSortMode`: Allows to control how chunks should be sorted before they are included to the html. Allowed values: 'none' | 'auto' | 'dependency' |'manual' | {function} - default: 'auto'
|
||
|
- `excludeChunks`: Allows you to skip some chunks (e.g. don't add the unit-test chunk)
|
||
|
- `xhtml`: `true | false` If `true` render the `link` tags as self-closing, XHTML compliant. Default is `false`
|
||
|
|
||
|
Here's an example webpack config illustrating how to use these options:
|
||
|
```javascript
|
||
|
{
|
||
|
entry: 'index.js',
|
||
|
output: {
|
||
|
path: __dirname + '/dist',
|
||
|
filename: 'index_bundle.js'
|
||
|
},
|
||
|
plugins: [
|
||
|
new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
|
||
|
title: 'My App',
|
||
|
filename: 'assets/admin.html'
|
||
|
})
|
||
|
]
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
```
|
||
|

|

|
|
||
|
Generating Multiple HTML Files
|
||
|
------------------------------
|
||
|
To generate more than one HTML file, declare the plugin more than
|
||
|
once in your plugins array:
|
||
|
```javascript
|
||
|
{
|
||
|
entry: 'index.js',
|
||
|
output: {
|
||
|
path: __dirname + '/dist',
|
||
|
filename: 'index_bundle.js'
|
||
|
},
|
||
|
plugins: [
|
||
|
new HtmlWebpackPlugin(), // Generates default index.html
|
||
|
new HtmlWebpackPlugin({ // Also generate a test.html
|
||
|
filename: 'test.html',
|
||
|
template: 'src/assets/test.html'
|
||
|
})
|
||
|
]
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Writing Your Own Templates
|
||
|
--------------------------
|
||
|
If the default generated HTML doesn't meet your needs you can supply
|
||
|
your own template. The easiest way is to use the `template` option and pass a custom HTML file.
|
||
|
The html-webpack-plugin will automatically inject all necessary CSS, JS, manifest
|
||
|
and favicon files into the markup.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```javascript
|
||
|
plugins: [
|
||
|
new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
|
||
|
title: 'Custom template',
|
||
|
template: 'my-index.ejs', // Load a custom template (ejs by default see the FAQ for details)
|
||
|
})
|
||
|
]
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
`my-index.ejs`:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```html
|
||
|
<!DOCTYPE html>
|
||
|
<html>
|
||
|
<head>
|
||
|
<meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>
|
||
|
<title><%= htmlWebpackPlugin.options.title %></title>
|
||
|
</head>
|
||
|
<body>
|
||
|
</body>
|
||
|
</html>
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
If you already have a template loader, you can use it to parse the template.
|
||
|
Please note that this will also happen if you specifiy the html-loader and use `.html` file as template.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```javascript
|
||
|
module: {
|
||
|
loaders: [
|
||
|
{ test: /\.hbs$/, loader: "handlebars" }
|
||
|
]
|
||
|
},
|
||
|
plugins: [
|
||
|
new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
|
||
|
title: 'Custom template using Handlebars',
|
||
|
template: 'my-index.hbs'
|
||
|
})
|
||
|
]
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
You can use the lodash syntax out of the box.
|
||
|
If the `inject` feature doesn't fit your needs and you want full control over the asset placement use the [default template](https://github.com/jaketrent/html-webpack-template/blob/86f285d5c790a6c15263f5cc50fd666d51f974fd/index.html) of the [html-webpack-template project](https://github.com/jaketrent/html-webpack-template) as a starting point for writing your own.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The following variables are available in the template:
|
||
|
- `htmlWebpackPlugin`: data specific to this plugin
|
||
|
- `htmlWebpackPlugin.files`: a massaged representation of the
|
||
|
`assetsByChunkName` attribute of webpack's [stats](https://github.com/webpack/docs/wiki/node.js-api#stats)
|
||
|
object. It contains a mapping from entry point name to the bundle filename, eg:
|
||
|
```json
|
||
|
"htmlWebpackPlugin": {
|
||
|
"files": {
|
||
|
"css": [ "main.css" ],
|
||
|
"js": [ "assets/head_bundle.js", "assets/main_bundle.js"],
|
||
|
"chunks": {
|
||
|
"head": {
|
||
|
"entry": "assets/head_bundle.js",
|
||
|
"css": [ "main.css" ]
|
||
|
},
|
||
|
"main": {
|
||
|
"entry": "assets/main_bundle.js",
|
||
|
"css": []
|
||
|
},
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
If you've set a publicPath in your webpack config this will be reflected
|
||
|
correctly in this assets hash.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- `htmlWebpackPlugin.options`: the options hash that was passed to
|
||
|
the plugin. In addition to the options actually used by this plugin,
|
||
|
you can use this hash to pass arbitrary data through to your template.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- `webpack`: the webpack [stats](https://github.com/webpack/docs/wiki/node.js-api#stats)
|
||
|
object. Note that this is the stats object as it was at the time the HTML template
|
||
|
was emitted and as such may not have the full set of stats that are available
|
||
|
after the webpack run is complete.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- `webpackConfig`: the webpack configuration that was used for this compilation. This
|
||
|
can be used, for example, to get the `publicPath` (`webpackConfig.output.publicPath`).
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
Filtering chunks
|
||
|
----------------
|
||
|
|
||
|
To include only certain chunks you can limit the chunks being used:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```javascript
|
||
|
plugins: [
|
||
|
new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
|
||
|
chunks: ['app']
|
||
|
})
|
||
|
]
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
It is also possible to exclude certain chunks by setting the `excludeChunks` option:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```javascript
|
||
|
plugins: [
|
||
|
new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
|
||
|
excludeChunks: ['dev-helper']
|
||
|
})
|
||
|
]
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Events
|
||
|
------
|
||
|
|
||
|
To allow other [plugins](https://github.com/webpack/docs/wiki/plugins) to alter the HTML this plugin executes the following events:
|
||
|
|
||
|
Async:
|
||
|
|
||
|
* `html-webpack-plugin-before-html-generation`
|
||
|
* `html-webpack-plugin-before-html-processing`
|
||
|
* `html-webpack-plugin-alter-asset-tags`
|
||
|
* `html-webpack-plugin-after-html-processing`
|
||
|
* `html-webpack-plugin-after-emit`
|
||
|
|
||
|
Sync:
|
||
|
|
||
|
* `html-webpack-plugin-alter-chunks`
|
||
|
|
||
|
Example implementation: [html-webpack-harddisk-plugin](https://github.com/jantimon/html-webpack-harddisk-plugin)
|
||
|
|
||
|
Usage:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```javascript
|
||
|
// MyPlugin.js
|
||
|
|
||
|
function MyPlugin(options) {
|
||
|
// Configure your plugin with options...
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
|
||
|
MyPlugin.prototype.apply = function(compiler) {
|
||
|
// ...
|
||
|
compiler.plugin('compilation', function(compilation) {
|
||
|
console.log('The compiler is starting a new compilation...');
|
||
|
|
||
|
compilation.plugin('html-webpack-plugin-before-html-processing', function(htmlPluginData, callback) {
|
||
|
htmlPluginData.html += 'The magic footer';
|
||
|
callback(null, htmlPluginData);
|
||
|
});
|
||
|
});
|
||
|
|
||
|
};
|
||
|
|
||
|
module.exports = MyPlugin;
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
Then in `webpack.config.js`
|
||
|
|
||
|
```javascript
|
||
|
plugins: [
|
||
|
new MyPlugin({options: ''})
|
||
|
]
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Note that the callback must be passed the htmlPluginData in order to pass this onto any other plugins listening on the same `html-webpack-plugin-before-html-processing` event.
