webpack-entry-list v1.0.1

webpack-entry-list

A tiny utility which helps generate an Entry Point Object for Webpack based on contents of a folder. This can also be used to generate an array of HTML Webpack Plugin objects based on contents of a folder.

Note that this has only been tested with Webpack 4.

Installation

npm install webpack-entry-list --save-dev

Usage

There are two static methods, generateEntryList and generateHTMLPluginList, used as given below.

generateEntryList(directoryPath,fileExtension)

directoryPath: Relative path to a directory.

fileExtension: Extension of files to be used as entry points. Defaults to .js.

// webpack.config.js
...
const WebpackEntryList = require('webpack-entry-list');
...
const config = [{
  ...
  entry: WebpackEntryList.generateEntryList('src/js')
  ...
}];
	
module.exports = config;

generateHTMLPluginList(directoryPath,fileExtension, HTMLWebpackPluginOptions)

directoryPath: Relative path to a directory.

fileExtension: Extension of files to be used as entry points. Defaults to .pug.

HTMLWebpackPluginOptions: HTMLWebpackPlugin options object. Defaults to { inject: true }.

// webpack.config.js
...
const WebpackEntryList = require('webpack-entry-list');
let HTMLWebpackPluginList = WebpackEntryList.generateHTMLPluginList('src/pug');
...
const config = [{
  ...
  plugins: [...HTMLWebpackPluginList]
  ...
}];
	
module.exports = config;

Note the use of ... before the HTMLWebpackPluginList variable. This is Spread Syntax.
