inert-entry-webpack-plugin v4.0.2
inert-entry-webpack-plugin 
Webpack plugin to allow non-js entry chunks.
Webpack requires that all entry chunks emit valid JS. However, sometimes you want to use HTML or a manifest file as your entry point.
This plugin allows the use of any non-JS ("inert") file in an entry chunk, and prevents Webpack from adding its wrapper to those chunks. This only affects the main compiler, not any child compilers.
Use entry-loader or spawn-loader to emit normal entry points for JS files required in your HTML or manifest files.
Installation
npm install --save-dev inert-entry-webpack-plugin
Usage
webpack.config.js:
var InertEntryPlugin = require('inert-entry-webpack-plugin');
module.exports = {
entry: {
nameOfEntryChunk: 'index.html'
},
output: {
path: path.join(__dirname, 'dist'),
filename: '[name].[hash].html'
},
module: {
rules: [
{ test: /\.html$/, use: ['extract-loader', { loader: 'html-loader', options: { attrs: ['link:href', 'script:src'] } }] },
{ test: /\.css$/, use: ['file-loader', 'extract-loader', 'css-loader'] }
]
},
plugins: [
new InertEntryPlugin()
]

</html>Notice that Webpack's wrapper is not present, as you would expect for an entry chunk.
main.bundle.js will contain the wrapper, however, because it's loaded with entry-loader.
