Writing Your Own Templates
--------------------------
TODO
If the default generated HTML doesn't meet your needs you can supply
your own [blueimp template](https://github.com/blueimp/JavaScript-Templates).
The [default template](https://github.com/ampedandwired/html-webpack-plugin/blob/master/default_index.html)
is a good starting point for writing your own.
Let's say for example you wanted to put a webpack bundle into the head of your
HTML as well as the body. Your template might look like this:
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>
<title>My App</title>
<script src="{%=o.htmlWebpackPlugin.assets.head%}"></script>
</head>
<body>
<script src="{%=o.htmlWebpackPlugin.assets.main%}"></script>
</body>
</html>
```
To use this template, simply configure the plugin like this:
```javascript
{
entry: 'index.js',
output: {
path: 'dist',
filename: 'index_bundle.js'
},
plugins: [
new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
template: 'src/assets/my_template.html'
})
]
}
```
The `o` variable in the template is the data that is passed in when the
template is rendered. This variable has the following attributes:
- `htmlWebpackPlugin`: data specific to this plugin
- `htmlWebpackPlugin.assets`: a massaged representation of the
`assetsByChunkName` attribute of webpack's [stats](https://github.com/webpack/docs/wiki/node.js-api#stats)
object. It contains a mapping from entry point name to the bundle filename, eg:
```json
"htmlWebpackPlugin": {
"assets": {
"head": "assets/head_bundle.js",
"main": "assets/main_bundle.js"
}
}
```
If you've set a publicPath in your webpack config this will be reflected
correctly in this assets hash.
- `htmlWebpackPlugin.options`: the options hash that was passed to
the plugin. In addition to the options actually used by this plugin,
you can use this hash to pass arbitrary data through to your template.
- `webpack`: holds the webpack [stats](https://github.com/webpack/docs/wiki/node.js-api#stats)
object, as returned by `stats.toJson()`.
