html-webpack-react-root-plugin v0.9.0
React Root Plugin for HTML Webpack Plugin
This is a plugin that extends the functionality of the HTML Webpack Plugin by adding an element to the generated HTML file that React can use to render the app.
Installation
Install the plugin with npm:
$ npm install html-webpack-react-root-plugin --save-devBasic Use
This 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 ReactRootPlugin = require('html-webpack-root-plugin');
const webpackConfig = {
entry: 'index.js',
output: {
path: 'build',
filename: 'bundle.js'
},
plugins: [new HtmlWebpackPlugin(), new ReactRootPlugin()]
};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!
Syntax

new ReactRootPlugin(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'.

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.
