Usage for files outside node_modules?

[andre-engelbrecht]

Hi, is there a way to make this plug-in work for my own files, that are not in node_modules?

For example:
I have some configuration data files in app/js/config/
I want these files to be excluded from all bundles, copied to the output (dist) folder and read from there at runtime, which is exactly what this plug-in does, but for files in node_modules.

I managed to get it to copy a test file and insert the script tag in index.html, but the contents of the test.js file is still bundled and read from there. Here's my experimental config:

new HtmlWebpackExternalsPlugin({
externals: [
{
module: 'test',
entry: '../../js/config/test.js',
global: 'test',
},
],
})

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Same problem here. We have a script that works at the global level that we import via a <script> tag and is obviously not available on NPM.
