string-replace-webpack-plugin

string replace plugin for webpack

Usage example

var StringReplacePlugin = require("string-replace-webpack-plugin");
module.exports = {
	module: {
		loaders: [
		    // configure replacements for file patterns
			{ test: /index.html$/,    loader: StringReplacePlugin.replace({
                replacements: [
                    {
                        pattern: /<!-- @secret (\w*?) -->/ig,
                        replacement: function (match, p1, offset, string) {
                            return secrets.web[p1];
                        }
                    }
                ]})
            }
		]
	},
	plugins: [
	    // an instance of the plugin must be present
		new StringReplacePlugin()
	]
}

This allows for arbitrary strings to be replaced as part of the module build process. The original intent is to replace API keys in modules prior to deployment.
