How to use webpack to concat html pieces?

You can use this plugin github.com/bazilio91/ejs-compiled-loader:

{ test: /\.ejs$/, use: 'ejs-compiled-loader' }

Change your .html files in .ejs and your HtmlWebpackPlugin to point to the right .ejs template:

new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
    template: 'src/views/index.ejs',
    filename: 'index.html',
    title: 'Home',
    chunks: ['index']
})

You can import partials, variables, and assets in .ejs files:

src/views/partials/head.ejs:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8"/>
  <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge"/>
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"/>
  <title><%= htmlWebpackPlugin.options.title %></title>
</head>

src/js/ejs_variables.js:

const hello = 'Hello!';
const bye = 'Bye!';

export {hello, bye}

src/views/index.ejs:

<% include src/views/partials/head.ejs %>
<body>    
  <h2><%= require("../js/ejs_variables.js").hello %></h2>

  <img src=<%= require("../../assets/sample_image.jpg") %> />

  <h2><%= require("../js/ejs_variables.js").bye %></h2>
</body>

A note, when you include a partial the path must be relative to the root of your project.

I answered the same question here stackoverflow.com/a/48750048/7448956.


There is a couple of loaders to achieve this: https://webpack.github.io/docs/list-of-loaders.html#templating

For example:

html-loader

<div>${require('./partials/gallery.html')}</div>

ejs-html-loader

<% include some/file %>
