1.0.4 • Public • Published

Description

Adds entry points in the webpack configuration and includes those entry points in your HTML.

How to install

npm install gatsby-plugin-webpack-entry or yarn add gatsby-plugin-webpack-entry

⚠️ This plugin relies on replaceWebpackConfig which has the potential to break future versions of Gatsby. The maintainers will do their best to keep this plugin working with Gatsby V2+ ⚠️

Available options

entry: { [key: string]: string } (required)

  • specify the entry points just like you would in a webpack configuration, these are merged in with Gatsbys.
  • ⚠️ the value should be an absolute path like path.resolve(__dirname, 'src', 'super-app.js')

statsFilePath: string (optional)

  • Specify a path to a custom webpack.stats.json file, this would be rare to use as if gatsby was compiling somewhere else besides the public directory.
  • ⚠️ the value should be an absolute path like path.resolve(__dirname, 'src', 'super-app.js')

When do I use this plugin?

Use this plugin if you need to load your own Javascript files outside of the normal Gatsby created bundles.

Examples of usage

module.exports = {
  siteMetadata: {
    title: 'Budget Dumpster',
    description: 'Budget Dumpster specializes in local dumpster rentals for homeowners and contractors alike. Call us to rent a dumpster in your area.'
  },
  plugins: [
    'gatsby-plugin-react-helmet',
    'gatsby-plugin-remove-trailing-slashes',
    'gatsby-plugin-postcss',
    'gatsby-plugin-react-svg', 
    {
      resolve: `gatsby-plugin-google-tagmanager`,
      options: {
        id: process.env.GATSBY_GTM_ID,
        includeInDevelopment: true
      }
    },
    {
      resolve: 'gatsby-plugin-webpack-entry', // <-- Here is the plugin
      options: {
        entry: {
          "super-app": path.resolve(__dirname, 'src', 'super-app.js')
        }
      }
    }  
  ]
}

How to run tests

npm run test

How to develop locally

This project relies on typescript for all the type safety goodness which can be found in the src directory. The compiled output goes directly into the root of the project because Gatsby expects certain files to be in the root.

Dev workflow

  1. Get the latest updates npm install.
  2. Run npm run watch to tell typescript to listen to changes in the src directory and recompile on the fly.
  3. Link this package to an actual gatsby project to test the plugin working, there is a good article for this here.
