HTML Webpack Injector Plugin
Plugin that simplifies injection of chunks into head and body using HtmlWebpackPlugin (with ability to provide async/defer)
Installation
npm i --save-dev html-webpack-injector
yarn add --dev html-webpack-injector
This is a webpack plugin that simplifies injection of chunks in head and body tags of HTML files using HtmlWebpackPlugin to serve your webpack bundles. This is especially useful when you want to inject some chunks to head and some chunks to body using HtmlWebpackPlugin.
Usage
Suppose you want have `2 chunks` that you want to inject in the html document using HtmlWebpackPlugin. If you want to inject `one chunk in head` and `one chunk in body` of the same html document.
webpack.config.js
const HtmlWebpackPlugin = require('html-webpack-plugin');
const HtmlWebpackInjector = require('html-webpack-injector');
module.exports = {
entry: {
index: "./index.ts",
index_head: "./index.css" // add "_head" at the end to inject in head.
},
output: {
path: "./dist",
filename: "[name].bundle.js"
},
plugins: [
new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
template: "./index.html",
filename: "./dist/index.html",
chunks: ["index", "index_head"]
}),
new HtmlWebpackInjector() // Initialize plugin
]
}
This will generate a file dist/index.html containing the following
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Archit's App</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="index_head.bundle.js"></script></head>
</head>
<body>
<script src="index_bundle.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
You have to add _head in the entry point chunk name and it will be automatically injected in the head.
Provide Async Defer (Optional)
You can specify scripts to be async or defer by adding additional `chunksConfig` option.
plugins: [
new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
template: "./index.html",
filename: "./dist/index.html",
chunks: ["index", "index_head"],
chunksConfig: { // Added option
async: ["index_head"],
defer: ["index"]
}
}),
new HtmlWebpackInjector()
]
