# Webpack Manifest Plugin [](https://travis-ci.org/danethurber/webpack-manifest-plugin) [](https://codecov.io/gh/danethurber/webpack-manifest-plugin?branch=master) [](https://gitter.im/webpack-manifest-plugin#)
Webpack plugin for generating an asset manifest.
## Install
```bash
npm install --save-dev webpack-manifest-plugin
```
## Usage
In your `webpack.config.js`
```javascript
var ManifestPlugin = require('webpack-manifest-plugin');
module.exports = {
// ...
plugins: [
new ManifestPlugin()
]
};
```
This will generate a `manifest.json` file in your root output directory with a mapping of all source file names to their corresponding output file, for example:
```json
{
"mods/alpha.js": "mods/alpha.1234567890.js",
"mods/omega.js": "mods/omega.0987654321.js"
}
```
## Configuration
A manifest is configurable using constructor options:
```javascript
new ManifestPlugin({
fileName: 'my-manifest.json',
basePath: '/app/'
seed: {
name: 'My Manifest'
}
})
```
## Options:
### `fileName`
Type: `String`
Default: `manifest.json`
The manifest filename in your output directory.
### `basePath`
Type: `String`
A path prefix for all file references. Useful for including your output path in the manifest.
### `publicPath`
Type: `String`
A path prefix used only on output files, similar to Webpack's [output.publicPath](https://github.com/webpack/docs/wiki/configuration#outputpublicpath). Ignored if `basePath` was also provided.
### `stripSrc`
Type: `String`, `RegExp`
Removes unwanted strings from source filenames.
### `writeToFileEmit`
Type: `Boolean`
Default: `false`
If set to `true` will emit to build folder and memory in combination with `webpack-dev-server`
### `seed`
Type: `Object`
Default: `{}`
A cache of key/value pairs to used to seed the manifest. This may include a set of [custom key/value](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/manifest.json) pairs to include in your manifest, or may be used to combine manifests across compilations in [multi-compiler mode](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/tree/master/examples/multi-compiler). To combine manifests, pass a shared seed object to each compiler's ManifestPlugin instance.
### `filter`
Type: `function`
Filter out files. [more details](#hooks-options)
### `map`
Type: `function`
Modify files details before the manifest is created. [more details](#hooks-options)
### `reduce`
Type: `function`
Default: `(manifest, {name, path}) => ({...manifest, [name]: path})`
Create the manifest. It can return anything as long as it's serialisable by `JSON.stringify`. Use the `seed` options to populate `manifest`. [more details](#hooks-options)
## Hooks Options
`filter`, `map`, `reduce` takes as an input an Object with the following properties:
### `path`
Type: `String`
### `chunk`
Type: [`Chunk`](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/blob/master/lib/Chunk.js)
### `name`
Type: `String`, `null`
### `isChunk`
Type: `Boolean`
### `isInitial`
Type: `Boolean`
Is required to run you app. Cannot be `true` if `isChunk` is `false`.
### `isAsset`
Type: `Boolean`
### `isModuleAsset`
Type: `Boolean`
Is required by a module. Cannot be `true` if `isAsset` is `false`.
