Link Media Ext Html Webpack Plugin

This is an extension plugin for html-webpack-plugin. It sets standard and custom media attributes for link tags like link-media-html-webpack-plugin but uses configuration object similar to script-ext-html-webpack-plugin.

Installation

You must be running webpack (4.x) on node 6+.

Install plugin with npm:

$ npm install link-media-ext-html-webpack-plugin -D

Or yarn:

$ yarn add link-media-ext-html-webpack-plugin -D

Please note that you will need html-webpack-plugin v3.0.6+ and CSS extraction plugin e.g. mini-css-extract-plugin.

Basic usage:

Load the plugin:

const LinkMediaExtHtmlWebpackPlugin = require('link-media-ext-html-webpack-plugin');

Add the plugin to your webpack config as follows:

plugins: [
  new HtmlWebpackPlugin(),
  new MiniCssExtractPlugin({
    filename: '[name].css',
  }),
  new LinkMediaExtHtmlWebpackPlugin()
]

The order is important — the plugin must come after HtmlWebpackPlugin. The above configuration will actually do nothing.

Configuration

You must pass a configuration object to the plugin. You can define only those properties that you need.

new LinkMediaExtHtmlWebpackPlugin({
    defaultAttribute: 'screen',
    all: [],
    print: [],
    screen: [],
    speech: [],
    custom: [{
        test: '',
        value: ''
    }]
})

Options

• all / screen / speech / print — stylesheet matching pattern defining link tags that should have media attributes all / screen / speech / print appropriately.
• custom — array of objects with following structure:

• test: stylesheet matching pattern defining link tags that should have media attribute with custom value added.
• value:  a String value for the attribute; if not set the attribute has no value set (equivalent of true)

A stylesheet matching pattern matches against a stylesheets’s name. It can be one of:

• a String matches if it is a substring of the script name;
• a RegExp;
• an array of String's and/or RegExp's — matches if any one element matches.

Examples:

Set all link tags media attributes to screen:

new LinkMediaExtHtmlWebpackPlugin({
  defaultAttribute: 'screen'
}) 

Set media attribute for main.css to screen and for print1.css, print2.css to print:

new LinkMediaExtHtmlWebpackPlugin({
  screen: 'main.css',
  print: [/print1.css/, 'print2.css']
})  

Set link tags media attributes screen except main.css which is all:

new LinkMediaExtHtmlWebpackPlugin({
  defaultAttribute: 'screen',
  all: [/main.css/],
})
