To add entry points by a plugin in webpack, you can use the HtmlWebpackPlugin plugin. Here's how you can do it:
- Install the HtmlWebpackPlugin plugin by running the following command in your terminal:
1
|
npm install html-webpack-plugin --save-dev |
- Include the HtmlWebpackPlugin plugin in your webpack configuration file (webpack.config.js):
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 |
const HtmlWebpackPlugin = require('html-webpack-plugin');
module.exports = {
// other webpack configuration options
plugins: [
new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
// specify the template file
template: 'index.html',
// specify the entry point file
chunks: ['entryPoint'],
})
]
}
|
- Create an index.html file (or any other template file specified in the HtmlWebpackPlugin configuration) with the following content:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 |
<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> <title>My Webpack App</title> </head> <body> <div id="app"></div> </body> </html> |
- Specify your entry point file in your webpack configuration file (webpack.config.js) as follows:
1 2 3 4 5 |
module.exports = {
entry: {
entryPoint: './src/entryPoint.js',
}
}
|
Now, when you run webpack, the HtmlWebpackPlugin plugin will add the specified entry point file as a script tag in the generated index.html file.
