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

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

<!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.
