Webpack gives the possibility to use the build [hash] in
output.publicPath option:
https://webpack.github.io/docs/long-term-caching.html
However HtmlWebpackPlugin is reading directly the raw option, preventing the
user to use this option when using it.
As far as I know, getting the file size within the template is not possible.
The file size is important in my case in order to have a progress loader via http request so I can do somehting like that:
```
function ajax(url, onProgress, callback, data, x) {
try {
x = new(this.XMLHttpRequest || ActiveXObject)('MSXML2.XMLHTTP.3.0');
x.open(data ? 'POST' : 'GET', url, 1);
x.setRequestHeader('X-Requested-With', 'XMLHttpRequest');
x.setRequestHeader('Content-type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
x.onreadystatechange = function() {
x.readyState > 3 && callback && callback(x.responseText, x);
};
x.addEventListener("progress", onProgress, false);
x.send(data)
} catch (e) {
window.console && console.log(e);
}
};
function onLoad(responseText) {
var script = document.createElement('script');
script.setAttribute('type', 'text/javascript');
if (script.text) {
script.text = content; // IE
} else {
script.appendChild(document.createTextNode(responseText));
}
document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(script);
document.getElementById('appLoader').className = 'finished';
}
function onProgress(e) {
var progress = Math.floor((e.loaded / {%=o.htmlWebpackPlugin.files.chunks.main.size %} || 0) * 100);
document.getElementById('appLoader').setAttribute("value", progress);
document.getElementById('appLoaderPercent').innerText = document.createTextNode(progress).textContent;
}
ajax('./{%=o.htmlWebpackPlugin.files.chunks.main.entry %}', onProgress, onLoad);
```
Fixes error reporting so that instead of:
Error in undefined
We get:
Error in HtmlWebPackPlugin: htmlWebpackPlugin.assets is deprecated - please use htmlWebpackPlugin.files instead
