Concat Text Webpack Plugin

The ConcatTextPlugin extracts and concatenates text files from a specified glob path into a single file.

Usage

new ConcatTextPlugin({
    files: "res/**/*.properties",
    name: "values.properties",
    outputPath: "cache/",
})

The above configuration will look for .properties files under the res/ folder (relative to the Webpack config file location) and concatenate them into a single file named values.properties under the cache/ directory, which is relative to the Webpack output path.

Options

files (string)

The glob string to get the list of files that should be concatenated.

name (string, default: same as Webpack output.filename)

The name of the output file. If it is not specified, the output.filename and the files glob string file extension will be used as name. If the glob string doesn't have an extension, the name won't have one either:

module.exports = {
    output: {
        path: "dist/",
        filename: "app.js"
    },
    plugins: [
        new ConcatTextPlugin({
            files: "res/**/*",
        })
    ]
}

The example above will generate a concatenated file dist/app (without a file extension) containing everything under res/. The output file won't have a file extension as well if the files glob string matches multiple file types:

module.exports = {
    output: {
        path: "dist/",
        filename: "app.js"
    },
    plugins: [
        new ConcatTextPlugin({
            files: "res/**/*.{txt,properties}",
        })
    ]
}

Some other examples would be *.js?(x) or *.+(md|markdown). Basically, if the file extension is not exact, the output file won't have one.

outputPath (string, default: same as Webpack output.path)

Specify where the concatenated file should be placed, relative to the Webpack output path. You might also set it to an absolute path.

Tests

There are some basic snapshot tests to assert the output of the loader.
