Plugin that simplifies injection of chunks into head and body using HtmlWebpackPlugin (with ability to provide async/defer)
npm i --save-dev html-webpack-injector yarn add --dev html-webpack-injectorThis 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.
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.
plugins: [
new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
template: "./index.html",
filename: "./dist/index.html",
chunks: ["index", "index_head"],
chunksConfig: { // Added option
async: ["index_head"],
defer: ["index"]
}
}),
new HtmlWebpackInjector()
]
