This is a plugin that extends the functionality of the HTML Webpack Plugin by adding an element to the generated HTML file that React (or other frameworks) can use to render the app.
Install the plugin with npm:
$ npm install html-webpack-root-plugin --save-devThis adds an element (a div with "root" as the id by default) to the HTML file generated by the HTML Webpack Plugin:
const HtmlWebpackPlugin = require('html-webpack-plugin');
const HtmlWebpackRootPlugin = require('html-webpack-root-plugin');
const webpackConfig = {
entry: 'index.js',
output: {
path: 'build',
filename: 'bundle.js'
},
plugins: [new HtmlWebpackPlugin(), new HtmlWebpackRootPlugin()]
};Should add this to your build directory.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Webpack App</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="root"></div>
<script src="bundle.js"></script>
</body>
</html>So you can do this:
import React from 'react';
import { render } from 'react-dom';
const Hello = () => (
<h1>Hello!</h1>
);
render(
<Hello />,
document.getElementById('root')
);Without adding a template!
new HtmlWebpackRootPlugin()Creates a <div> with an id of "root."
new HtmlWebpackRootPlugin(object)Takes a configuration object with the following values:
tagName: the type of element created. Defaults to'div'.tagId: the ID given to the created tag. Defaults to'root'.
new HtmlWebpackRootPlugin(string)If a string is passed it creates a <div> with the passed string as the ID.
If anything other than a string or an object is passed it will use the default values and issue a warning in the Webpack build report.
This adds an element (a div with "root" as the id by default) to the HTML file generated by the HTML Webpack Plugin:
Add <div id="app"></div> to the created file.
const webpackConfig = {
entry: 'index.js',
output: {
path: 'build',
filename: 'bundle.js'
},
plugins: [
new HtmlWebpackPlugin(),
new HtmlWebpackRootPlugin('app')
]
};Add <main id="application-root"></main> to the created file.
const webpackConfig = {
entry: 'index.js',
output: {
path: 'build',
filename: 'bundle.js'
},
plugins: [
new HtmlWebpackPlugin(),
new HtmlWebpackRootPlugin({ tagName: 'main', tagId: 'application-root' })
]
};Plugin based on html-webpack-react-root-plugin by @aaronjkrause and updated for Webpack 4.
