A webpack plugin to minify html file(s) after building

minify-html-webpack-plugin's Issues

Search and Replace

Is it possible to search and replace a string in all .HTML files? For example, I have a string "CACHE_KEY" that I want to find every instance of in all HTML files and have it replaced with a hash. It seems to search and replace will find the first instance, then stop. I was hoping it can search the entire dist direct and replace all.

Call plugin at the end of build

Is there a way to call this plugin at the end of build?
I'm using laravel-mix with laravel-mix-nunjucks plugin to compile nunjucks files into html, so the files don't exist yet. Maybe it's not even this plugin-related question.

The script fails if the `src` directory contains any directory

If the source directory contains a folder inside apart from the expected html files, the script results in an error since it is expecting to read a file.

Potential Fixes:

1. Check before reading whether a file is a directory or not.
2. Create enhancement to recursively go through all the subdirectories and look up for HTML files.

Script minifies the original source code. No warning!

After running the script, I found that it performs minification on the original source HTML file itself by default. Usually this behaviour is not expected and can cause damage in case the source file is not protected using a version control.

Potential Fixes (in the descending order of preference):

1. Read the webpack's output>path directory and pass it to the script.
2. Throw an error when dest is not provided in the options.
3. Make it explicit in the README that dest is needed and provide a warning that original source code will be overwritten if dest is missing from the options.

`path` is not defined

When running the wepack command to perform a build, it throws an error:

ReferenceError: path is not defined
    at C:\Users\Rishab Manocha\Source code\agency-website\node_modules\minify-html-webpack-plugin\index.js:24:28

Looking in the index.js file, it looks like the you forgot to add

const path = require('path');
