extract-plugin

webpack Extract Plugin

Extract any kind of files from a webpack build. Based on the mini-css-extract-plugin and similar to the extract-text-webpack-plugin but also works for webpack 4.

Currently under development, only the most basic cases work reliably.

Installation

npm i extract-plugin

Usage

src/index.js Entry file

import './some.properties'
import './more.properties'

src/some.properties First file to be extracted

Header.Title = Hello World
Header.Subtitle = How are you doing?

src/more.properties Second file to be extracted

Footer.Greeting = All rights reserved.

webpack.config.js

const ExtractPlugin = require('extract-plugin')
 
module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.properties$/,
        use: [
          {
            loader: ExtractPlugin.loader
          },
          'raw-loader'
        ]
      }
    ]
  },
  plugins: [
    new ExtractPlugin({
      filename: "[name].properties"
    })
  ]
}

dist/main.properties File with the extracted contents built by webpack

Header.Title = Hello World
Header.Subtitle = How are you doing?
Footer.Greeting = All rights reserved.

Options

The plugin can be configured with options.

new ExtractPlugin({
  removeNewLine: true
})

removeNewLine default false

Removes the new line at the end of each file. Often these lines are added by the editor to make writing code easier.
