Symlink Webpack Plugin

A webpack plugin to make symbolic links for emitted file.

Installation

npm i -D symlink-webpack-plugin

Usage

In your webpack config:

const SymlinkWebpackPlugin = require('symlink-webpack-plugin');

module.exports = {
  // ...etc
  plugins: [
    new SymlinkWebpackPlugin({ origin: 'index.html', symlink: '200.html' })
  ]
};

This setting makes symbolic link file [ouput_path]/200.html to [ouput_path]/index.html. By the way, this setting works well for client-side routing on surge.sh.

You can give configurations as Array

const SymlinkWebpackPlugin = require('symlink-webpack-plugin');

module.exports = {
  // ...etc
  plugins: [
    new SymlinkWebpackPlugin([
      { origin: 'index.html', symlink: '200.html' },
      { origin: 'index.html', symlink: '404.html' },
    ])
  ]
};

force option (default: false)

const SymlinkWebpackPlugin = require('symlink-webpack-plugin');

module.exports = {
  // ...etc
  plugins: [
    new SymlinkWebpackPlugin([
      { origin: 'index.html', symlink: '200.html', force: true },
      { origin: 'index.html', symlink: '404.html' },
    ])
  ]
};

The plugin doesn't make the symlink if the destination doesn't exist as default. Passing the option force: true, will create it regardless.
