Webpack - does not display a package for a specific entry point

Question

Im uses a file loader to automatically map a bunch of fraud patterns into static html files, but webpack also outputs a pointless file based on the entry point

For example, this is in my webpack.config.js:

entry: { 'js/build/bundle.js': './js/app.js', 'this-shouldnt-emit': './pug/.pug.js' //pug entry point }, output: { path: path.join(__dirname, '../'), filename: '[name]' }, ... // pug loading module rule { test: /\.pug$/, include: path.resolve(__dirname, "../pug"), use: [ "file-loader?name=[path][name].html&context=./pug", "pug-html-loader?pretty&exports=false" ] } 

and Im gets the package file this-shouldnt-emit to the root directory that I don't need.

How can I stop the file loader from releasing the output package, but not stop it from generating all the static html files that it currently has. Is there a plugin or some kind of zero bootloader that I can put at the end of the bootloader chain to kill the bundle emitting?

I'm not sure what you are really asking, but if you want it to include multiple files in one package, use an array. The whole point of using [name] in filename: '[name].bundle.js for multiple entries. This is optional (but optional) for a single input key.

This will create two batch files.

 entry: { BUNDLE_KEY_ONE: 'path/file.js', BUNDLE_KEY_TWO: 'path/otherFile.js', } 

Thus, you have several files with one package.

 entry: { SINGLE_BUNDLE_NAME: ['file/one.js', 'file/two.js'] }
