Html Webpack Template

Overview:

The HTML Webpack Template is a template for the webpack plugin html-webpack-plugin. It offers a few extra features compared to the default template, making it less likely that users will have to create their own index.html file in their webpack project. The template supports older versions of webpack (v3) and is looking for contributors to update it.

Features:

• Inject: This parameter allows users to specify if the JavaScript app should be injected into the HTML file.
• Template: The template parameter specifies the template to be used for generating the HTML file. By default, it uses the html-webpack-template package.
• AppMountId: Users can specify the id of the <div> element on which they plan to mount their JavaScript app.
• AppMountHtmlSnippet: This parameter allows users to insert a small snippet of HTML into the <div> element specified by appMountId.
• AppMountIds: Users can provide an array of application element ids. These ids will be added to the generated HTML file.

• DevServer: Users can insert the webpack-dev-server hot reload script at a specific host, port, and path.
• GoogleAnalytics: Users can track the usage of their site via Google Analytics by providing a trackingId and specifying if a pageview event should be logged on load.
• Lang: Users can specify the content language for the HTML file.
• Links: Users can provide an array of <link> elements to be included in the HTML file.
• Meta: Users can specify an array of objects containing key-value pairs to be included as meta tags in the HTML file.

• HeadHtmlSnippet: Users can insert a small snippet of HTML into the head element of the HTML file.
• BodyHtmlSnippet: Users can insert a small snippet of HTML into the body element of the HTML file.

Summary:
