Webpack File Manager Plugin

This Webpack plugin allows you to copy, archive (.zip/.tar/.tar.gz), move, delete files and directories before and after builds

Install

npm install filemanager-webpack-plugin --save-dev

Usage

Webpack.config.js:

const FileManagerPlugin = require('filemanager-webpack-plugin');
 
module.exports = {
  ...
  ...
  plugins: [
    new FileManagerPlugin({
      onEnd: {
        copy: [
          { source: '/path/from', destination: '/path/to' },
          { source: '/path/**/*.js', destination: '/path' },
          { source: '/path/fromfile.txt', destination: '/path/tofile.txt' },
          { source: '/path/**/*.{html,js}', destination: '/path/to' },
          { source: '/path/{file1,file2}.js', destination: '/path/to' },
          { source: '/path/file-[hash].js', destination: '/path/to' }
        ],
        move: [
          { source: '/path/from', destination: '/path/to' },
          { source: '/path/fromfile.txt', destination: '/path/tofile.txt' }
        ],
        delete: [
         '/path/to/file.txt',
         '/path/to/directory/'
        ],
        mkdir: [
         '/path/to/directory/',
         '/another/directory/'
        ],
        archive: [
          { source: '/path/from', destination: '/path/to.zip' },
          { source: '/path/**/*.js', destination: '/path/to.zip' },
          { source: '/path/fromfile.txt', destination: '/path/to.zip' },
          { source: '/path/fromfile.txt', destination: '/path/to.zip', format: 'tar' },
          { 
             source: '/path/fromfile.txt', 
             destination: '/path/to.tar.gz', 
             format: 'tar',
             options: {
               gzip: true,
               gzipOptions: {
                level: 1
               },
               globOptions: {
                nomount: true
               }
             }
           }
 
        ]
      }
    })
  ],
  ...
}

If you need to preserve the order in which operations will run you can set the onStart and onEnd events to be Arrays. In this example below, in the onEnd event the copy action will run first, and then the delete after:

const FileManagerPlugin = require('filemanager-webpack-plugin');
 
module.exports = {
  ...
  ...
  plugins: [
    new FileManagerPlugin({
      onEnd: [
        {
          copy: [
            { source: "./dist/bundle.js", destination: "./newfile.js" }
          ]
        },
        {
          delete: [
            "./dist/bundle.js"
          ]
        }
      ]
    })
  ],
  ...
}
 
 

Options

new FileManagerPlugin(fileEvents, options)

File Events

• onStart: Commands to execute before Webpack begins the bundling process
• onEnd: Commands to execute after Webpack has finished the bundling process

copy	Copy individual files or entire directories from a source folder to a destination folder. Also supports glob pattern	copy: [ { source: 'dist/bundle.js', destination: '/home/web/js/' } ]
delete	Delete individual files or entire directories.	delete: [ 'file.txt', '/path/to' ]
move	Move individual files or entire directories.	move: [ { source: 'dist/bundle.js', destination: '/home/web/js/' } ]
mkdir	Create a directory path. Think mkdir -p	mkdir: [ '/path/to/directory/', '/another/path/' ]
archive	Archive individual files or entire directories. Defaults to .zip unless 'format' and 'options' provided. Uses node-archiver	archive: [ { source: 'dist/bundle.js', destination: '/home/web/archive.zip' format: 'tar' or 'zip' options: { options passed to archiver } } ]
