module.exports = {
    entry: {
        'core': './src/core.js',
        'app': './src/index.js',
        'jquery': ['jquery'],
        'angular-suite': ['angular', 'angular-ui-bootstrap', 'angular-ui-router'],
    },
    output: {
        'filename': '[name]-[id].js',
        'path': path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist')
    },
    plugins: [
        new renameOutputPlugin({
            'core': 'framework-[hash].js',
            'jquery': '[name]-[version].min.js',
            'angular-suite': '[name]-[version@angular].min.js'
        })
    ]
};

This configuration will generate following files:

Hash: 7aa4bcb22d7fa4791dd8
Version: webpack 3.8.1
Time: 1812ms
                            Asset     Size  Chunks                    Chunk Names
                         app-0.js  2.08 MB       0  [emitted]  [big]  app
       angular-suite-1.6.6.min.js  1.73 MB       1  [emitted]  [big]  angular-suite
              jquery-3.2.1.min.js   271 kB       2  [emitted]  [big]  jquery
framework-7aa4bcb22d7fa4791dd8.js   271 kB       3  [emitted]  [big]  core

Using [version]

In Webpack configuration (webpack.config.js), output.filename supports following substitutions:

• [hash]
• [chunkhash]
• [name]
• [id]
• [query]

This plugin adds one more substitution [version]. [version] allow you to use version of dependency within your output bundle filename. For e.g. If you are using jquery and chunking it separately, you can add [version] to ensure right version (from jquery module package.json) is added within output filename.

module.exports = {
    entry: {
        'jquery': ['jquery']
    },
...
    plugins: [
        new renameOutputPlugin({
            'jquery': '[name]-[version].min.js'
        })
    ]
};

              Asset     Size  Chunks                    Chunk Names
jquery-3.2.1.min.js   271 kB       2  [emitted]  [big]  jquery
