Installation

You must be running webpack (version ^2.x) on node (version ^6.14.1)

Install:

1npm install --save-dev app-manifest-webpack-plugin

Install with yarn:

1yarn add -D app-manifest-webpack-plugin

Basic Usage

Add the plugin to your webpack config as follows:

1const AppManifestWebpackPlugin = require('app-manifest-webpack-plugin')
2
3...
4
5plugins: [
6  new AppManifestWebpackPlugin({
7    logo: 'my-logo.png',
8    inject: false,

This basic configuration will generate 37 different icons for iOS devices, Android devices and the Desktop browser out of your my-logo.png file.

It can optionally also generate a iconstats.json for you.

Usage with html-webpack-plugin

If you are using with html-webpack-plugin it will also inject the necessary html for you:

Prefix and output options

This options help you save output files or change paths to icons in your html as you want. Example you want save output icons to icons/ directory in your build path but in html you want set another prefix for files, example /assets/webpack/icons/ when you can use options for this

1  new AppManifestWebpackPlugin({
2    // Your source logo
3    logo: 'my-logo.png',
4    // Prefix for file names (html will be container icons with this prefix)
5    prefix: '/assets/webpack/',
6    // Output path for icons (icons will be saved to output.path(webpack config) + this key)
7    output: '/icons-[hash:8]/'
8  })

html file will be contains current paths

1<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="120x120" href="/assets/webpack/icons-4b62aad7/apple-touch-icon-120x120.png">
2<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="144x144" href="/assets/webpack/icons-4b62aad7/apple-touch-icon-144x144.png">
3<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="152x152" href="/assets/webpack/icons-4b62aad7/apple-touch-icon-152x152.png">
4<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="180x180" href="/assets/webpack/icons-4b62aad7/apple-touch-icon-180x180.png">

but files will be saved to /icons-4b62aad7/ directory and you iconstats.json contains correct outputFilePrefix

1{ "outputFilePrefix":"/assets/webpack/icons-4b62aad7/" }

Keep in mind what prefix change filenames inside html, output it is the path where icons wiil be saved

Or another case. You want save icons above the directory of webpack output and want set corrent path in the manifest files and html files

1  new AppManifestWebpackPlugin({
2    // Your source logo
3    logo: 'my-logo.png',
4    // Output path can be relative. Icons will be saved to webpack output directory + output
5    output: '../icons/',
6    // Change prefix of files  for correct paths in your html and manifest files
7    prefix: '/icons/'
8  })

Stats file

When you use option emitStats the plugin is generated stats file with statsFilename and contains usefull data

1{
2  "outputFilePrefix":"/",
3  "html": [], // array of html strings
4  "files": [], // array of generated icon names 
5  "encodedHtml": "", // endoded html string if you use statsEncodeHtml option
6}
