Make symbolic links among your built files in webpack

Package Exports

  • symlink-webpack-plugin

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (symlink-webpack-plugin) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Symlink Webpack Plugin

GitHub Workflow Status

A webpack plugin to make symbolic links for emitted file.

Installation

npm i -D symlink-webpack-plugin

Usage

In your webpack config:

const SymlinkWebpackPlugin = require('symlink-webpack-plugin');

module.exports = {
  // ...etc
  plugins: [
    new SymlinkWebpackPlugin({ origin: 'index.html', symlink: '200.html' })
  ]
};

This setting makes symbolic link file [ouput_path]/200.html to [ouput_path]/index.html.

You can give configurations as Array

const SymlinkWebpackPlugin = require('symlink-webpack-plugin');

module.exports = {
  // ...etc
  plugins: [
    new SymlinkWebpackPlugin([
      { origin: 'index.html', symlink: '200.html' },
      { origin: 'index.html', symlink: 'error_pages/404.html' },
    ])
  ]
};

force option (default: false)

const SymlinkWebpackPlugin = require('symlink-webpack-plugin');

module.exports = {
  // ...etc
  plugins: [
    new SymlinkWebpackPlugin([
      { origin: 'index.html', symlink: '200.html', force: true },
      { origin: 'index.html', symlink: '404.html' },
    ])
  ]
};

The plugin doesn't make any symlink if a directory for a destination doesn't exist as default. Passing an option force: true, will create it regardless.

When directories of symlink don't exist, force option allows to dig. For instance, what if a config has symlink: 'one/two/200.html' but one/two/ dir doesn't exist when the plugin runs, one, one/two directories will be created.

hook option (default: afterEmit)

You can point an exact compiler hook to make a symlink.

  { origin: 'index.html', symlink: '200.html', hook: 'entryOption' },
