Write html files to hard disk even when using the webpack dev server or middleware

Overview:

The HtmlWebpackHarddiskPlugin serves as a useful extension for the popular html-webpack-plugin, adding enhanced functionality that allows for greater control over how your HTML files are generated and managed during the build process. Designed to cater to developers using Webpack (with Node.js version 10.x or higher), this plugin is particularly beneficial for those who require their generated output to be consistently written to disk, making integration with other middleware smooth and efficient.

In practice, this plugin is straightforward to implement and highly effective in ensuring that the output from the HtmlWebpackPlugin is readily accessible, especially when working with multiple files or specific output paths. This can be a game changer for project setups that rely heavily on dynamic HTML file generation.

Features:

  • Configurable Output: Set the alwaysWriteToDisk option to true or false, giving you control over how the generated files are handled.
  • Middleware Compatibility: Ideal for scenarios where you want to use other middleware that requires access to generated HTML files.
  • User-Friendly Integration: Simple installation and straightforward configuration in your Webpack setup make it easy to get started.
  • Supports Multiple Files: Use the plugin without worrying about conflicts, even if multiple HTML files are generated.
  • Custom Output Path: Allows specification of an output path when used in conjunction with middleware like webpack-dev-server.
  • Node Compatibility: Requires Node.js version 10.x or higher, ensuring modern development standards are met.
  • Build Process Optimization: Enhances the effectiveness of your Webpack setup, streamlining the process of serving your bundles with generated HTML files.
