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 = ; moduleexports = ... ... plugins: 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 = ; moduleexports = ... ... plugins: onEnd: copy: source: "./dist/bundle.js" destination: "./newfile.js" delete: "./dist/bundle.js" ...
