HTML Loader
Exports HTML as string. HTML is minimized when the compiler demands.
Install
```bash
npm i -D html-loader
```
Usage
By default every local `` is required (`require('./image.png')`). You may need to specify loaders for images in your configuration (recommended `file-loader` or `url-loader`).
You can specify which tag-attribute combination should be processed by this loader via the query parameter `attrs`. Pass an array or a space-separated list of `:` combinations. (Default: `attrs=img:src`)
If you use ``, and lots of them make use of a `custom-src` attribute, you don't have to specify each combination `:`: just specify an empty tag like `attrs=:custom-src` and it will match every element.
```js
{
test: /\.(html)$/,
use: {
loader: 'html-loader',
options: {
attrs: [':data-src']
}
}
}
```
To completely disable tag-attribute processing (for instance, if you're handling image loading on the client side) you can pass in `attrs=false`.
Examples
With this configuration:
```js
{
module: {
rules: [
{ test: /\.jpg$/, use: [ "file-loader" ] },
{ test: /\.png$/, use: [ "url-loader?mimetype=image/png" ] }
]
},
output: {
publicPath: "http://cdn.example.com/[hash]/"
}
}
```
``` html
```
```js
require("html-loader!./file.html");
// => ''
```
```js
require("html-loader?attrs=img:data-src!./file.html");
// => ''
```
```js
require("html-loader?attrs=img:src img:data-src!./file.html");
require("html-loader?attrs[]=img:src&attrs[]=img:data-src!./file.html");
// => ''
```
```js
require("html-loader?-attrs!./file.html");
// => ''
```
minimized by running `webpack --optimize-minimize`
```html
''
```
or specify the `minimize` property in the rule's options in your `webpack.conf.js`
```js
module: {
rules: [{
test: /\.html$/,
use: [ {
loader: 'html-loader',
options: {
minimize: true
}
}],
}]
}
```
See [html-minifier](https://github.com/kangax/html-minifier#options-quick-reference)'s documentation for more information on the available options.
The enabled rules for minimizing by default are the following ones:
- removeComments
- removeCommentsFromCDATA
- removeCDATASectionsFromCDATA
- collapseWhitespace
- conservativeCollapse
- removeAttributeQuotes
- useShortDoctype
- keepClosingSlash
- minifyJS
- minifyCSS
- removeScriptTypeAttributes
- removeStyleTypeAttributes
The rules can be disabled using the following options in your `webpack.conf.js`
```js
module: {
rules: [{
test: /\.html$/,
use: [ {
loader: 'html-loader',
options: {
minimize: true,
removeComments: false,
collapseWhitespace: false
}
}],
}]
}
```
### 'Root-relative' URLs
For urls that start with a `/`, the default behavior is to not translate them.
If a `root` query parameter is set, however, it will be prepended to the url
and then translated.
With the same configuration as above:
``` html
```
```js
require("html-loader!./file.html");
// => ''
```
```js
require("html-loader?root=.!./file.html");
// => ''
```
### Interpolation
You can use `interpolate` flag to enable interpolation syntax for ES6 template strings, like so:
```js
require("html-loader?interpolate!./file.html");
```
```html
${require('./components/gallery.html')}
```
And if you only want to use `require` in template and any other `${}` are not to be translated, you can set `interpolate` flag to `require`, like so:
```js
require("html-loader?interpolate=require!./file.ftl");
```
```html
<#list list as list>
${list.name}
#list>
${require('./components/gallery.html')}
```
### Export formats
There are different export formats available:
+ ```module.exports``` (default, cjs format). "Hello world" becomes ```module.exports = "Hello world";```
+ ```exports.default``` (when ```exportAsDefault``` param is set, es6to5 format). "Hello world" becomes ```exports.default = "Hello world";```
+ ```export default``` (when ```exportAsEs6Default``` param is set, es6 format). "Hello world" becomes ```export default "Hello world";```
### Advanced options
If you need to pass [more advanced options](https://github.com/webpack/html-loader/pull/46), especially those which cannot be stringified, you can also define an `htmlLoader`-property on your `webpack.config.js`:
```js
var path = require('path')
module.exports = {
...
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.html$/,
use: [ "html-loader" ]
}
]
},
htmlLoader: {
ignoreCustomFragments: [/\{\{.*?}}/],
root: path.resolve(__dirname, 'assets'),
attrs: ['img:src', 'link:href']
}
};
```
If you need to define two different loader configs, you can also change the config's property name via `html-loader?config=otherHtmlLoaderConfig`:
```js
module.exports = {
...
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.html$/,
use: [ "html-loader?config=otherHtmlLoaderConfig" ]
}
]
},
otherHtmlLoaderConfig: {
...
}
};
```
### Export into HTML files
A very common scenario is exporting the HTML into their own _.html_ file, to
serve them directly instead of injecting with javascript. This can be achieved
with a combination of 3 loaders:
- [file-loader](https://github.com/webpack/file-loader)
- [extract-loader](https://github.com/peerigon/extract-loader)
- html-loader
The html-loader will parse the URLs, require the images and everything you
expect. The extract loader will parse the javascript back into a proper html
file, ensuring images are required and point to proper path, and the file loader
will write the _.html_ file for you. Example:
```js
{
test: /\.html$/,
use: [ 'file-loader?name=[path][name].[ext]!extract-loader!html-loader' ]
}
```
