This is a [Webpack](https://webpack.github.io/) plugin which simplifies and automates the creation of a [Web Application Archive (WAR)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WAR_(file_format)) from your Webpack build outputs and other project files. This can be useful if you want to deploy your static / Single Page Web App or your applications web frontend to a Java (EE) Application server.

## Installation
You can install the plugin via npm

```bash
npm install --dev webpack-war-plugin
```

## Usage
### Basic Usage
To add the webpack-war-plugin to your build just add an instance of `WebpackWarPlugin` to the `plugins` section of your Webpack configuration
```javascript
const { WebpackWarPlugin } = require('webpack-war-plugin');

module.exports = {
...,
plugins: [
new WebpackWarPlugin(),
...
],
...
};
```
By default an archive containing all emitted Webpack build outputs is generated in the output directory of your Webpack build. It is named like your project.

### Configuration
You can influence the generated archive by supplying a configuration object of the following structure to the plugins constructor:
```typescript
type WebpackWarPluginOptions = {
archiveName?: string;
webInf?: string;
additionalElements?: {
path: string;
destPath?: string;
}[];
archiverOptions?: {}
};
```
| Option | Effect |
| --- | --- |
| `archiveName` *[optional]* | Sets the output name of the archive |
| `webInf` *[optional]* | Specifies a path to a directory (or file) which will be included into the archive with the path `WEB-INF` |
| `additionalElements` *[optional]* | Specifies multiple files or directories, which will be included in the archive. Each entry is a object with the following properties: `path` (The path of the source element), `destPath` (*[optional]* The path of the specified file / directory inside of the archive [by default `path` is used]) |
| `archiverOptions` *[optional]* | Specifies the options that should be used by `archiver` (used to create the archive). See https://archiverjs.com/docs/ for more information. |

### Example
The following plugin configuration:
```javascript
const { WebpackWarPlugin } = require('webpack-war-plugin');

module.exports = {
entry: {
file1: './src/file1.js'
},
...,
plugins: [
new WebpackWarPlugin({
archiveName: 'archive',
webInf: './web-inf',
additionalElements: [
{ path: 'context/context.xml', destPath: 'META-INF/context.xml'},
{ path: 'package.json' },
{ path: 'images', destPath: 'assets/images' }
],
archiverOptions: {
zlib: {
level: 9
}
}
}),
...
],
...
};

```
generates an archive with the name `archive.war` in the Webpack output directory with the following structure:
```
archive.war
|
|\_ file1.js
|
|\_ WEB-INF
| \_ web.xml
|
|\_ META-INF
| \_ context.xml
|
|\_ package.json
|
\_ assets
\_ images
\_ img.png
```

## Development
### Typescript
The plugin is built with [Typescript](http://www.typescriptlang.org/) and the resulting package contains the corresponding typings.

### Building
After checking out the project you can build transpile the Typescript via
```bash
npm run build
```
The build output is stored in `dist`.

### Testing
#### Unit tests
Unit tests are named `[tested-component].spec.ts`.

They can be run via [Mocha](https://mochajs.org/) with
```bash
npm run test
```
Test coverage is measured via [nyc](https://github.com/istanbuljs/nyc) and can be triggered with
```bash
npm run test:coverage
```

#### Functional tests
Functional test fixtures are located in `functional_tests`.
To set up all fixtures run
```bash
npm run test:functional:setup
```
To execute the tests via Mocha run
```bash
npm run test:functional
```

### Continuous integration
Continious integration is realized via [Travis-CI](https://travis-ci.org/DevWurm/webpack-war-plugin). Coverage reports are shown on [Coveralls](https://coveralls.io/github/DevWurm/webpack-war-plugin). Deployments to NPM are automatically triggered via Git tags.
