React-to-HTML Webpack Plugin
Webpack plugin that renders React components to HTML files.
Components are rendered after all source files have been compiled, so JSX works without any issues.
Warning! This plugin executes your code in a Node context after each compilation.
Install
$ npm install --save-dev react-to-html-webpack-pluginBasic Usage
This basic example assumes that the React component renders <html> as the root element. This works for simple cases, but if you need more fine grained control of the entire document, use the template option instead.
webpack.config.js
var ReactToHtmlPlugin = require('react-to-html-webpack-plugin');
module.exports = {
entry: './index.jsx',
output: {
filename: 'index.js',
path: 'dist',
/* IMPORTANT!
* You must compile to UMD or CommonJS
* so it can be required in a Node context: */
library: 'MyComponentExample',
libraryTarget: 'umd'
},
module: {
loaders: [
{ test: /\.jsx$/, loader: 'jsx-loader' }
]
},
plugins: [
new ReactToHtmlPlugin('index.html', 'index.js')
]
};index.jsx
var React = require('react');
var MyComponent = require('./MyComponent.jsx');
if (typeof document !== 'undefined') {
React.render(<MyComponent />, document);
}
/* IMPORTANT!
* You must export a component: */
module.exports = MyComponent;Using a hashed source file
webpack.config.js
var ReactToHtmlPlugin = require('react-to-html-webpack-plugin');
module.exports = {

main: './index.js'

module: {
loaders: [
{ test: /\.jsx$/, loader: 'jsx-loader' }
]
},
plugins: [
// Note: "index.js" is not used, instead use "main" which is the name of the entry
// Using "index.js" would result in a file not found error because it has been hashed
new ReactToHtmlPlugin('index.html', 'main')
]
};API
new ReactToHtmlPlugin('index.html', 'index.js', { options... });Options
template (function)
You can optionally provide a function that returns an HTML string.
The template is called with the following data:
{
html: '...',
assets: {
chunkName: assetPath,
...
}
}For example:
var ejs = require('ejs'); // or whatever you like ;)
...
new ReactToHtmlPlugin('index.html', 'index.js', {
template: function(data) {
return ejs.render(`
<html>
...
<body>
<div id="app">
<%- html %>
</div>
<% for (var chunk in assets) { -%>
<script src="<%= assets[chunk] %>"></script>
<% } -%>
</body>
</html>
`, data);
}
});static (boolean)
Optionally enable usage of renderToStaticMarkup. This is recommended when you don't plan to run React on the client.
