v2.9.0

Cumulative Release v2.7.0 - v2.9.0

Features

• Added experimental support the Webpack cache.type as filesystem. This is yet an alpha version.
  You can try it, but if that doesn't work, just use the default cache.type as memory.
• Removes the json5 dependency, take only the parser code from this package, remove unused code from it and optimize it for use with the plugin.
• Added watching for changes (add/remove/rename) in handlebars helpers without restarting Webpack.
• Added js.inline.chunk and js.inline.source options to inline only js chunks matching regular expressions.
• Changed the default value of the hotUpdate option to false. This is not breaking change.
  If you already have a js file, this setting should be false as Webpack automatically injects the hot update code into the compiled js file. Enable this option only if you don't have a referenced source file of a script in a html template.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed resolving output asset filenames without the needless index .1, like index.1.js, when used the same base filename for template and js files. For example, if source files with the same base name src/index.html and src/index.js were used, then dist/index.html and dist/index.1.js were created, because the entry name used for compilation must be unique. This case is fixed.
• If the html outputPath is a relative path, it is relative to output.path, not to CWD
• Fixed resolving asset module by 2nd npm start when cache.type is 'filesystem'.

Chore

• Updated the eta to the latest v3.1.0 version.

v2.6.1

Bug Fixes

• when the Webpack output.path option is undefined , set the default path as CWD + /dist

v2.6.0

Features

• Added the css.chunkFilename option for output filename of non-initial chunk files, e.g., a style file imported in JavaScript.
• Added the hotUpdate option to enable/disable live reload in serve/watch mode. For some use cases you can disable auto injecting the hot-update.js into generating html files. For example, when you use a react-app generated with create-react-app, then this option must be disabled to avoid a react error.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed missing output css file when the same style source file is imported in js and linked in html.

Chore

• Added the "hello world" example.
  
• Added the simple-site example with automatically processing many HTML templates.
  
• Added the Handlebars example.
  

v2.5.1

Bug Fixes

• Fixed missing output html file after renaming template file in watch mode when using entry as a path.

Chore

• Added an example using of Bootstrap with Webpack.
  

• Added an example using of Tailwind CSS with Webpack.
  

v2.5.0

Cumulative Release v2.0.0 - v2.5.0

⚠ POTENTIAL BREAKING CHANGE (v2.0.0):

• Upgraded the default preprocessor eta to next major version 3.0.
  Perhaps you may need to migrate your Eta templates to v3 syntax.

Features

• Added the reference for data in the plugin options.
  The NEW syntactic "sugar":

  new HtmlBundlerPlugin({
    entry: {
      index: './src/views/home.ejs',
    },
    // new reference to the loaderOptions.data
    data: {...},
  }),

  The old syntax is still valid:

  new HtmlBundlerPlugin({
    entry: {
      index: './src/views/home.ejs',
    },
    loaderOptions: {
      // original option is under loaderOptions
      data: {...},
    },
  }),

• Added the references for preprocessor and preprocessorOptions in the plugin options.
  The NEW syntactic "sugar":

  new HtmlBundlerPlugin({
    entry: {
      index: './src/views/home.ejs',
    },
    // new references to options in the loaderOptions
    preprocessor: 'ejs',
    preprocessorOptions: {...},
  }),

  The old syntax is still valid:

  new HtmlBundlerPlugin({
    entry: {
      index: './src/views/home.ejs',
    },
