API
WebpackPwaManifest([options])
options
Type: object
You can follow the Web App Manifest specification.
The difference here is that, when defining icons, you can specify one icon with multiple sizes, using an array of integers, just as the example above.
You can also change the output's filename with the filename
property.
Presets of options
:
{
filename: "manifest.json",
name: "App",
orientation: "portrait",
display: "standalone",
start_url: ".",
crossorigin: null,
inject: true,
fingerprints: true,
ios: false,
publicPath: null,
includeDirectory: true
}
By default, HTML injection and fingerprint generation are on.
With inject: false
and fingerprints: false
, respectively, you can turn them off.
If inject: true
and 'theme-color'
property is not defined, it wil try to use theme_color
as default. Otherwise, no theme-color
meta tag will be injected.
With includeDirectory: true
, we will use filename
's directory to export the manifest file.
With orientation: 'omit'
, the orientation key will be omitted from the generated manifest file.
When inject: true
and ios: true
, specific Apple meta tags will be injected to the HTML code when possible, as requested at issue #13. You can see Apple's Configuring Web Application for more information. Instead of using a boolean value, you can also use an object to specify certain link or meta tag, for instance:
...
ios: {
'apple-mobile-web-app-title': 'AppTitle',
'apple-mobile-web-app-status-bar-style': 'black'
}
If publicPath
option is not given, this plugin fallbacks to Webpack's public path definition.
When defining an icon object, you can also specify its output directory using a property called destination
. Using ios: true
in an icon object makes it eligible to the apple-touch-icon
meta tag injection. Using ios: 'startup'
in an icon object makes it eligible to the apple-touch-startup-image
meta tag injection.
...
icons: [
{
src: path.resolve('src/assets/icons/ios-icon.png'),
sizes: [120, 152, 167, 180, 1024],
destination: path.join('icons', 'ios'),
ios: true
},
{
src: path.resolve('src/assets/icons/ios-icon.png'),
size: 1024,
destination: path.join('icons', 'ios'),
ios: 'startup'
},
{
src: path.resolve('src/assets/icons/android-icon.png'),
sizes: [36, 48, 72, 96, 144, 192, 512],
destination: path.join('icons', 'android')
}
]
}
If you specify a valid crossorigin
property it will be added to the <link rel="manifest">
in the HTML document.
This property determines if the request for the manifest includes CORS headers and is required if the manifest is located on a different domain or requires authentication.
