Vite plugin for injecting HTML, JS, and CSS code snippets into `index.html`.
## Purpose
Often, when developing front-end applications, it is necessary to integrate various libraries into the `index.html` file - for example, you might want to include code for Google Analytics, PWA service workers, Open Graph and Twitter Card meta data, Splash screens, Customer support widgets, and much more.
As a result, `index.html` becomes bloated and hard to manage.
This plugin allows you to store code snippets in separate files, keeping `index.html` clean and pristine, and inject them at build time. There is no need for special placeholder tags in the `index.html` as well.
The plugin also supports `Vite dev server HMR`, which means you can edit code snippets and see the results immediately in the browser.
Additionally, the plugin allows for different configurations in development and production modes. By specifying the `buildModes` property, you can enable or disable specific code snippets depending on the environment, simplifying development and reducing unnecessary code in Dev mode.
## Description
There are three `types` of code snippets - `raw`, `js`, and `css`. `raw` snippets are injected as-is, while `js` and `css` snippets are wrapped in `` and `<style>` tags respectively. The default `type` value is `raw`.
There are four places where you can inject a code snippet into the `index.html`:
- The beginning of the `<head>` tag (`head-prepend`)
- The end of the `<head>` tag (`head`)
- The beginning of the `<body>` tag (`body-prepend`)
- The end of the `<body>` tag (`body`)
Corresponding `injectTo` values are: `head-prepend`, `head`, `body-prepend`, and `body`.

## Installation
```bash
pnpm add vite-plugin-html-injection -D
```
```bash
yarn add vite-plugin-html-injection -D
```
```bash
npm i vite-plugin-html-injection -D
```
<br>
## Usage
1. Add **`vite-plugin-html-injection`** to your Vite plugins with required configuration:
```js
// vite.config.js
import { defineConfig } from "vite";
import { htmlInjectionPlugin } from "vite-plugin-html-injection";
export default defineConfig({
plugins: [
htmlInjectionPlugin({
// transformation order - set to "pre" to use env variable replacement in html files
// See https://vite.dev/guide/api-plugin.html#transformindexhtml
order: "pre",
// example injections
injections: [
{
// (optional) injection name
name: "Open Graph",
// path to the code snippet file relative to Vite project root
path: "./src/injections/open-graph.html",
// (optional) code snippet type: raw | js | css
type: "raw",
// where to inject: head | body | head-prepend | body-prepend
injectTo: "head",
// (optional) which modes apply to: dev | prod | both
buildModes: "both",
},
{
name: "Google analytics",
path: "./src/injections/ga.html",
type: "raw",
injectTo: "body",
buildModes: "prod",
},
],
}),
],
});
```
> #### Hint:
>
> You can place config object in a separate json file and import it in the vite.config.js
<br>
2. Create corresponding code snippets:
```html
<!-- ./src/injections/open-graph.html -->
<!-- Facebook Meta Tags -->
<meta property="og:url" content="https://www.acme.com/" />
<meta property="og:type" content="website" />
<meta property="og:title" content="My Acme website" />
<meta property="og:description" content="Welcome to my Acme website" />
<meta property="og:image" content="https://www.acme.com/logo.png" />
```
```html
<!-- ./src/injections/ga.html -->
<!-- Google tag (gtag.js) -->
<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=G-8W4X32XXXX" />
<script>
window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
function gtag() {
dataLayer.push(arguments);
}
gtag("js", new Date());
gtag("config", "G-8W4X32XXXX");
```
That's it. After running `npm serve` or `npm build` command the code snippets will be injected.
## Signature
The plugin is strongly typed. Here is the signature of its configuration:
```ts
export interface IHtmlInjectionConfig {
injections: IHtmlInjectionConfigInjection[];
order?: "pre" | "post";
}
export interface IHtmlInjectionConfigInjection {
name?: string;
path: string;
type?: "raw" | "js" | "css"; // default is 'raw'
injectTo: "head" | "body" | "head-prepend" | "body-prepend";
buildModes?: "dev" | "prod" | "both"; // default is 'both'
}
```
