DEPRECATED for webpack v5: please use
output.filename
instead.
Webpack plugin for creating custom path template tags. Extend the default set of template tags with your own custom behavior. Hooks into Webpack’s compilation process to allow you to replace tags with a substitute value.
Installation
Install the module
npm install @wordpress/custom-templated-path-webpack-plugin --save-dev
Note: This package requires Node.js 12.0.0 or later. It is not compatible with older versions. It works only with webpack v4.
Usage
Construct an instance of CustomTemplatedPathPlugin
in your Webpack configurations plugins
entry, passing an object where keys correspond to the template tag name. The value for each key is a function passed the original intended path and data corresponding to the asset.
The following example creates a new basename
tag to substitute the basename of each entry file in the build output file. When compiled, the built file will be output as build-entry.js
.
const { basename } = require( 'path' );
const CustomTemplatedPathPlugin = require( '@wordpress/custom-templated-path-webpack-plugin' );
module.exports = {
// ...
entry: './entry',
output: {
filename: 'build-[basename].js',
},
plugins: [
new CustomTemplatedPathPlugin( {
basename( path, data ) {
let rawRequest;
const entryModule = get( data, [ 'chunk', 'entryModule' ], {} );
switch ( entryModule.type ) {
case 'javascript/auto':
rawRequest = entryModule.rawRequest;
break;
case 'javascript/esm':
rawRequest = entryModule.rootModule.rawRequest;
break;
}
if ( rawRequest ) {
return basename( rawRequest );
}
return path;
},
} ),
],
};
For more examples, refer to Webpack’s own TemplatedPathPlugin.js
, which implements the base set of template tags.
