    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.fork\.js$/,
        use: { loader: 'webpack-fork-loader' }
      }
    ]
  }
}

```

<h2 align="center">Options</h2>

|Name|Type|Default|Description|
|:--:|:--:|:-----:|:----------|
|[**`name`**](#name)|`{String}`|`[hash].fork.js`|Set a custom name for the output script| 
|[**`publicPath`**](#publicPath)|`{String}`|`null`|Override the path from which fork scripts are downloaded|
|[**`evalPath`**](#publicPath)|`{Boolean}`|`null`|if `publicPath` is treat as a static `String`|


### `name`

To set a custom name for the output script, use the `name` parameter. The name may contain the string `[hash]`, which will be replaced with a content dependent hash for caching purposes. When using `name` alone `[hash]` is omitted.

*webpack.config.js**
```js
{
  loader: 'webpack-fork-loader',
  options: { name: 'ForkName.[hash].js' }
}
```

### `publicPath`

Overrides the path from which fork scripts are downloaded. If not specified, the same public path used for other
webpack assets is used

**webpack.config.js**
```js
{
  loader: 'webpack-fork-loader'
  options: { publicPath: '/scripts/fork/' }
}
```

### `evalPath`

if wants to get dynamic publicPath like '__dirname', you should set `evalPath = true`

**webpack.config.js**
```js
{
  loader: 'webpack-fork-loader'
  options: {  publicPath: '__dirname + "/"', evalPath: true }
}
```
