Enhances html-webpack-plugin allowing you to copy assets
or node_modules package assets
into your webpack build and inject them as tags into your html
.
Built on top of the html-webpack-tags and copy-webpack plugins.
$ npm install --save-dev html-webpack-deploy-plugin
You must be running Node 10.0 along with Webpack 5.0 or higher for version 3.x
of this plugin.
You must be running Node 8.6 or higher for version 2.x
of this plugin.
This plugin was renamed from html-webpack-deploy-assets-plugin
to html-webpack-deploy-plugin
in version 2.x
.
For use with the Node < 8.6
please use version 1.x
(old README here)
The chunksSortMode
option of html-webpack-plugin 3.x
has a default value of auto
.
This option is known to cause issues with code splitting
or lazy loaded bundles
(#981).
When using this plugin with version 3.x
you should set this chunksSortMode
to 'none', like this:
new HtmlWebpackPlugin({ chunksSortMode: 'none' })
The plugin configuration is specified by an options object passed to its constructor.
This object has an assets
option for copying & injecting local files, and a packages
option for copying & injecting packages from your local node_modules
directory.
new HtmlWebpackDeployPlugin({ assets: { copy: [{ from: 'a', to: 'b' }], links: [ 'b/my.css', { hash: false, publicPath: false, path: 'b/my.png', attributes: { rel: 'icon' } } ], scripts: 'b/my.js' }, packages: { 'bootstrap': { copy: [{ from: 'dist/bootstrap.min.css', to: 'bootstrap.min.css'}], links: { useCdn: true, path: 'bootstrap.min.css', cdnPath: 'dist/bootstrap.min.css' }, }, 'react': { copy: [{ from: 'umd', to: '' }], scripts: { variableName: 'React', path: 'react.production.min.js', cdnPath: 'umd/react.production.min.js', } }, 'react-dom': { copy: [{ from: 'umd', to: '' }], scripts: { variableName: 'ReactDOM', path: 'react-dom.production.min.js', cdnPath: 'umd/react-dom.production.min.js', }, useCdn: false } }, useCdn: true, getCdnPath: (packageName, packageVersion, packagePath) => `https://unpkg.com/${packageName}@${packageVersion}/${packagePath}` });
All options for this plugin are validated as soon as the plugin is instantiated.
Options are inherited by inner levels of the config and will be overridden if specified in a level.
The available options are described below, grouped by at what level in the plugin config they may be used.
These options are only available at the root level of the plugin config.

The available tag options
for links
or scripts
are defined by the html-webpack-tags-plugin.
Additional tag options
are defined by this plugin:
devPath
{String}
optional
Alternative path to use for the tag when webpack.mode === "development"
. Only used when the useCdn
option inherited by the tag is false cdnPath
{String}
optional
Alternative path to use for the tag when the useCdn
option inherited by the tag is true
This plugin will run and do nothing if no options ({}
) are provided.
The default options for this plugin are shown below:
const path = require('path'); const findUp = require('find-up'); const slash = require('slash'); // fixes slashes in file paths for windows const DEFAULT_OPTIONS = { assets: {}, packages: {}, useAssetsPath: true, addAssetsPath: assetPath => path.join('assets', assetPath), usePackagesPath: true, addPackagesPath: packagePath => path.join('packages', packagePath), getPackagePath: (packageName, packageVersion, packagePath) => path.join(packageName + '-' + packageVersion, packagePath), findNodeModulesPath: (cwd, packageName) => findUp.sync(slash(path.join('node_modules', packageName)), { cwd }), useCdn: false, getCdnPath: (packageName, packageVersion, packagePath) => `https://unpkg.com/${packageName}@${packageVersion}/${packagePath}` };
The assets
option can be used to specify local assets that should be copied to the webpack output directory and injected into the index.html
as tags.
This option requires an object with any of the copy
, links
, or scripts
properties.
The settings for these are based on the copy-webpack-plugin and the html-webpack-tags-plugin
For example, to copy some assets to webpack, and insert a <link>
and <script>
tag:
const pluginOptions = { assets: { copy: [ { from: 'src-path/assets', to: 'dst-path/assets' }, { from: 'src-path/js', to: 'dst-path/js' }, { from: 'src-path/css/src-file.png', to: 'dst-path/dst-file.png' } ], links: [ { path: 'dst-path/dst-file.png', attributes: { rel: 'icon' } ], scripts: [ { path: 'dst-path/js/script.js', } ] } };
The above example will generate something like the following html:
<head> <link href="${webpack.publicPath}dst-path/dst-file.png" rel="icon"> </head> <body> <script src="${webpack.publicPath}dst-path/js/script.js"></script> </body>
The packages
option can be used to specify package assets that should be copied to the webpack output directory and injected into the index.html
as tags.
This option requires an object with any of the copy
, links
, or scripts
properties.
The settings for these are based on the copy-webpack-plugin and the html-webpack-tags-plugin
For example, to copy some assets from bootstrap
to webpack, and insert a <link>
and <script>
tag for bootstrap:
const pluginOptions = { packages: { 'bootstrap': { copy: [ { from: 'dist/css', to: 'css/' }, { from: 'dist/js', to: 'js/' } ], links: [ 'css/bootstrap.min.css' ], scripts: { variableName: 'Bootstrap', path: 'js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js' } } } };
The variableName
can be used to tell webpack
to stop bundling a package, and instead load it from the injected <script>
.
The above example will generate something like the following html:
<head> <link href="${webpack.publicPath}css/bootstrap.min.css"> </head> <body> <script src="${webpack.publicPath}js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js"></script> </body>
Deploying Bootstrap
css and fonts and an assets directory from local files:
plugins: [ new HtmlWebpackPlugin(), new HtmlWebpackDeployAssetsPlugin({ packages: { 'bootstrap': { copy: [ { from: 'dist/css', to: 'css/' }, { from: 'dist/fonts', to: 'fonts/' } ], links: [ 'css/bootstrap.min.css', 'css/bootstrap-theme.min.css' ] } }, assets: { copy: [{ from: 'src/assets', to: 'assets/' }], links: { path: '/assets/icon.png', attributes: { rel:'icon' } } } }) ]
This will generate a index.html
something like:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <title>Webpack App</title> <link href="any-webpack-generated-styles.css" rel="stylesheet"> <link href="bootstrap-3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"> <link href="bootstrap-3.3.7/css/bootstrap-theme.min.css" rel="stylesheet"> <link href="/assets/icon.png" rel="icon"> </head> <body> <script src="any-webpack-generated-bundles.js"></script> </body> </html>
Note that additionally, the contents of the following directories will be copied:
node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css
-> dist/bootstrap-3.3.7/css
node_modules/bootstrap/dist/fonts
-> dist/bootstrap-3.3.7/fonts
src/assets
-> dist/assets
Deploying React
from a CDN
:
plugins: [ new HtmlWebpackPlugin(), new HtmlWebpackDeployAssetsPlugin({ packages: { 'react': { copy: [{ from: 'umd', to: '' }], scripts: { variableName: 'React', path: 'react.production.min.js', cdnPath: 'umd/react.production.min.js', } }, 'react-dom': { copy: [{ from: 'umd', to: '' }], scripts: { variableName: 'ReactDOM', path: 'react-dom.production.min.js', cdnPath: 'umd/react-dom.production.min.js', } } } useCdn: true, getCdnPath: (packageName, packageVersion, packagePath) => `https://unpkg.com/${packageName}@${packageVersion}/${packagePath}` }) ]
This will generate a index.html
with your webpack bundled output and the following:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <title>Webpack App</title> <link href="any-webpack-generated-styles.css" rel="stylesheet"> </head> <body> <script src="https://unpkg.com/react@16.8.6/umd/react.production.js"></script> <script src="https://unpkg.com/react-dom@16.8.6/umd/react-dom.production.js"></script> <script src="any-webpack-generated-bundles.js"></script> <!-- react & react-dom were removed from webpack bundles automatically --> </body> </html>
Deploying React
from Local UMD Bundles
:
plugins: [ new HtmlWebpackPlugin(), new HtmlWebpackDeployAssetsPlugin({ packages: { 'react': { copy: [{ from: 'umd', to: '' }], scripts: { variableName: 'React', path: 'react.production.min.js', devPath: 'react.development.js' } }, 'react-dom': { copy: [{ from: 'umd', to: '' }], scripts: { variableName: 'ReactDOM', path: 'react-dom.production.min.js', devPath: 'react-dom.development.js' } } } }) ]
This copies react
and react-dom
into webpack's output directory, versioning the directory automatically based on their installed version. They can now be referenced from the tag paths in the html.
Webpack is instructed that react
and react-dom
are external so they are no longer bundled by webpack.
The generated index.html
looks like:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <title>Webpack App</title> <link href="any-webpack-generated-styles.css" rel="stylesheet"> </head> <body> <script src="my-public-path/packages/react-16.8.6/react.production.min.js"></script> <script src="my-public-path/packages/react-dom-16.8.6/react-dom.production.min.js"></script> <script src="any-webpack-generated-bundles.js"></script> <!-- react & react-dom were removed from webpack bundles automatically --> </body> </html>
Or in development mode because the devPath
option was specified, the generated index.html
looks like:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <title>Webpack App</title> <link href="any-webpack-generated-styles.css" rel="stylesheet"> </head> <body> <script src="my-public-path/packages/react-16.8.6/react.development.js"></script> <script src="my-public-path/packages/react-dom-16.8.6/react-dom.development.js"></script> <script src="any-webpack-generated-bundles.js"></script> <!-- react & react-dom were removed from webpack bundles automatically --> </body> </html>
When doing custom deployment without a CDN it can be useful to configure the directories that all assets and packages are copied to and served from.
The following examples show some useful settings for such situations.
Disabling the grouping of assets into the assets
directory:
new HtmlWebpackDeployAssetsPlugin({ useAssetsPath: false });
<link href="my-public-path/assets/file.css"> <script src="my-public-path/assets/file.js"></script>
becomes:
<link href="my-public-path/file.css"> <script src="my-public-path/file.js"></script>
Custom grouping of assets into a configurable
directory:
new HtmlWebpackDeployAssetsPlugin({ assetsPath: 'my-assets-path' });
<link href="my-public-path/assets/file.css"> <script src="my-public-path/assets/file.js"></script>
becomes:
<link href="my-public-path/my-assets-path/file.css"> <script src="my-public-path/my-assets-path/file.js"></script>
Disabling the grouping of packages into the packages
directory:
new HtmlWebpackDeployAssetsPlugin({ usePackagesPath: false });
<link href="my-public-path/packages/bootstrap-4.3.1/bootstrap.min.css"> <script src="my-public-path/packages/react-16.8.6/react.production.min.js"></script>
becomes:
<link href="my-public-path/bootstrap-4.3.1/bootstrap.min.css"> <script src="my-public-path/react-16.8.6/react.production.min.js"></script>
Custom grouping of packages into a configurable
directory:
new HtmlWebpackDeployAssetsPlugin({ packagesPath: 'my-packages-path' });
<link href="my-public-path/packages/bootstrap-4.3.1/bootstrap.min.css"> <script src="my-public-path/packages/react-16.8.6/react.production.min.js"></script>
becomes:
<link href="my-public-path/my-packages-path/bootstrap-4.3.1/bootstrap.min.css"> <script src="my-public-path/my-packages-path/react-16.8.6/react.production.min.js"></script>
