What are @parcel/transformer-html's main functionalities?
Injecting Assets
Automatically injects CSS and JS assets into the HTML file. This is useful for ensuring that all necessary assets are included in the final build.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>My App</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="./styles.css">
</head>
<body>
<script src="./index.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
Processing Inline Scripts and Styles
Processes inline scripts and styles, allowing you to write them directly in your HTML files. This can be useful for small scripts and styles that don't need to be in separate files.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
body { background-color: #f0f0f0; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<script>
console.log('Hello, world!');
</script>
</body>
</html>
Minification
Minifies the HTML, CSS, and JS to reduce the size of the final output. This helps in improving the load time of the web application.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>My App</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="./styles.css">
</head>
<body>
<script src="./index.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
