Have a large AngularJS 1.6 project (~120 JS files), which is currently built through gulp/bower.
Looking to migrate over to using yarn & webpack, and we would prefer not to have to modify our project files just to implement webpack. Each of our AngularJS component JS files are wrapped in a IIFE, so they are already out of the global scope.
One of our gulp steps uses the gulp-angular-templatecache module, which collects all of our HTML files and neatly compacts them into a single $tmplateCache loader module.
angular.module("ourApp").run(["$templateCache", function ($templateCache) {
$templateCache.put("/app/components/ourComponent1.html", "<div id=\"component1-html\"> ... </div>\r\n");
$templateCache.put("/app/components/ourComponent2.html", "<div id=\"component2-html\"> ... </div>\r\n");
// etc...
});
I have managed to figure out how to resolve most of our other build processes using webpack, but this one is giving me a problem.
I have looked at the ngtemplate-loader package, but do not think this would work for our needs because of the following:
- Would require us to update all of our existing HTML templates to use 'require("./template.html")'
- This would create a separate webpack module for each HTML template, which seems very inefficient.
- Probably most important, I haven't been able to get it to work.
The current webpack configuration I have setup is based on a simple demo, and splits the project files out from the vendor files. Our project files are bundled up into a 'app.[hashcode].js' file into the /dist folder.
Ultimately, I would like to be able to inject the compiled $templateCache module, into a specific point in our final 'app.[hashcode].js' bundle file. However, right now I would be satisfied with the $templateCache definition file being created into a separate bundle file.
Is there an existing webpack plugin, or loader, or combination of plugin(s)/loader(s), that I could use to accomplish this build step? Is this even possible with webpack?
This is the base directory structure for the demo project:
/dashboard
/app
/assets
/global
global.less
app.less
/components
/controllers
dashboard.controller.js
/directives
yep-nope.directive.js
/messenger
messenger.directive.js
messenger.html
/services
github-status.service.js
dashbboard.config.js
dashboard.module.js
app.js
/dist
app.4f12bb49f144e559bd9b.js
assets.css
index.html
vendor.b0a30c79aa77e0126a5c.js
index.html
package.json
webpack.config.js
This is the current working webpack.config.js file:
const path = require('path');
const webpack = require('webpack');
const HtmlWebpackPlugin = require('html-webpack-plugin');
const CleanWebpackPlugin = require('clean-webpack-plugin');
const ExtractTextPlugin = require('extract-text-webpack-plugin');
module.exports = {
context: __dirname,
entry: {
app: path.resolve(__dirname, 'app/app.js'),
vendor: ['angular','angular-sanitize']
},
output: {
path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist'),
filename: '[name].[chunkhash].js'
},
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.less$/,
use: ExtractTextPlugin.extract({
fallback: "style-loader",
use: ['css-loader', 'less-loader']
})
},
{
test: /\.js$/,
loader: 'ng-annotate-loader'
},
{
test: /\.html$/,
exclude: path.resolve(__dirname, 'app/index.html'),
use: [
{ loader: 'html-loader', options: { minimize: false } }
]
}]
},
plugins: [
new CleanWebpackPlugin(['dist','assets/**/*.css']),
new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
title: 'GitUp',
template: 'index.html',
inject: 'body'
}),
new webpack.optimize.CommonsChunkPlugin({
name:"vendor", filename:"[name].[chunkhash].js"
}),
new ExtractTextPlugin('assets.css')
]
};
This is the webpack 'entry' file app/app.js:
require('./assets/app.less');
require('../node_modules/angular/angular.js');
require('../node_modules/angular-sanitize/angular-sanitize.js');
require('./components/dashboard.module.js'); // Define module
require('./components/dashboard.config.js'); // Setup config
// Load in all components files, except for files already loaded above
var reqCtx = require.context('./components', true, /^(?!.*(?:dashboard\.config|dashboard\.module)).*\.js$/);
reqCtx.keys().forEach(reqCtx);
If needed, I can provide the entire sample project...
