The copy plugin allows users to copy files around as part of the build command. For example, Greenwood uses this feature to copy all files in the user's /assets/ directory to final output directory automatically. You can use this plugin to copy single files, or entire directories.
This plugin supports providing an array of "paired" URL objects that can either be files or directories, by providing a from
and to
location.
export function myCopyPlugin() {
return {
type: 'copy',
name: 'plugin-copy-some-files',
provider: (compilation) => {
const { context } = compilation;
return [{
// copy a file
from: new URL('./robots.txt', context.userWorkspace),
to: new URL('./robots.txt', context.outputDir)
}, {
// copy a directory (notice the trailing /)
from: new URL('./pdfs/', context.userWorkspace),
to: new URL('./pdfs/', context.outputDir)
}];
}
};
}
You can see more examples in the Greenwood repo.
