Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

Favicons Webpack Plugin

npm version CI js-semistandard-style

Leverages on favicons to automatically generate your favicons for you.

Installation

Install the plugin and favicons with npm:

$ npm install --save-dev favicons favicons-webpack-plugin

Zero Config Usage

Add your base logo as logo.png file to you webpack context folder. (By default the context is the current working directory)

Add the plugin to your webpack config as follows:

const FaviconsWebpackPlugin = require('favicons-webpack-plugin')

plugins: [
  new FaviconsWebpackPlugin()
]

Basic Usage

Demo

Add the plugin to your webpack config as follows:

const FaviconsWebpackPlugin = require('favicons-webpack-plugin')

...

plugins: [
  new FaviconsWebpackPlugin('/path/to/logo.png') // svg works too!
]

The default configuration will automatically generate webapp manifest files along with 44 different icon formats as appropriate for iOS devices, Android devices, Windows Phone and various desktop browsers out of your single logo.png.

Tip: You might want to fine tune what vendors to support.

A Note on Path Resolution

Under the hood, Webpack resolves the path to logo according to the following rules:

  • If /path/to/logo is absolute, there is nothing to resolve and the path specified is used as is.

  • If ./path/to/logo is relative, it's resolved with respect to Webpack's context, which defaults to process.cwd().

  • If path/to/logo is neither explicitly relative nor absolute, Webpack attempts to resolve it according to resolve.modules, which defaults to modules: ["node_modules"].

HTML Injection

In combination with html-webpack-plugin it will also inject the necessary html for you:

<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="60x60" href="/assets/apple-touch-icon-60x60.png">

Advanced Usage

plugins: [
  new FaviconsWebpackPlugin({
    // Your source logo (required)
    logo: './src/logo.png',
    // Your maskable source logo (optional)
    logoMaskable: './src/logo-maskable.png',
    // Allow caching the assets across webpack builds. By default this will use
    // webpack's cache configuration, but can be set to false to disable caching.
    // Note: disabling caching may increase build times considerably.
    // For more information, see: https://webpack.js.org/configuration/cache/
    cache: true,
    // Override the publicPath option usually read from webpack configuration
    publicPath: '/static',
    // The directory to output the assets relative to the webpack output dir.
    // Relative string paths are allowed here ie '../public/static'. If this
    // option is not set, `prefix` is used.
    outputPath: '/public/static',
    // Prefix path for generated assets
    prefix: 'assets/',
    // Inject html links/metadata (requires html-webpack-plugin).
    // This option accepts arguments of different types:
    //  * boolean
    //    `false`: disables injection
    //    `true`: enables injection if that is not disabled in html-webpack-plugin
    //  * function
    //    any predicate that takes an instance of html-webpack-plugin and returns either
    //    `true` or `false` to control the injection of html metadata for the html files
    //    generated by this instance.
    inject: true,

    // Favicons configuration options (see below)
    favicons: {
      ...
    }
  })
]

To fine tune what icons/metadata is generated, refer to favicons' documentation.

The options specified under favicons: are handed over as is to favicons, except that if appName, appDescription, version, developerName or developerURL are left undefined, they will be automatically inferred respectively from name, description, version, author.name and author.url as defined in the nearest package.json if available. To disable automatically retrieving metadata from package.json, simply set to null the properties you want to omit.

Examples

Basic

const FaviconsWebpackPlugin = require('favicons-webpack-plugin')

plugins: [
  new FaviconsWebpackPlugin({
    logo: './src/logo.png', // svg works too!
    mode: 'webapp', // optional can be 'webapp', 'light' or 'auto' - 'auto' by default
    devMode: 'webapp', // optional can be 'webapp' or 'light' - 'light' by default 
    favicons: {
      appName: 'my-app',
      appDescription: 'My awesome App',
      developerName: 'Me',
      developerURL: null, // prevent retrieving from the nearest package.json
      background: '#ddd',
      theme_color: '#333',
      icons: {
        coast: false,
        yandex: false
      }
    }
  })
]

To fine tune what icons/metadata is generated, refer to favicons' documentation.

Handling Multiple HTML Files

const FaviconsWebpackPlugin = require('favicons-webpack-plugin')
const HtmlWebpackPlugin = require('html-webpack-plugin')
const { basename } = require('path')

...

plugins: [
    new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
        template: 'a.html.tmpl',
        filename: 'a.html',
    }),
    new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
        template: 'b.html.tmpl',
        filename: 'b.html',
    }),
    new FaviconsWebpackPlugin({
        logo: 'logo.svg',
        inject: htmlPlugin => 
          basename(htmlPlugin.options.filename) === 'a.html',
    }),
],

Compilation Modes

Modes allow you to choose a very fast simplified favicon compilation or a production ready favicon compilation

By default or if the favicons mode option is set to auto the favicon compilation depends on the webpack mode:
If the webpack mode is set to development the favicons mode will use a quick light favicons build.
If the webpack mode is set to production the favicons mode will use a full webapp favicons build.

This behaviour can be adjusted by setting the favicons mode and devMode options.

Custom manifests

The manifest options allows to overwrite values of the generated manifest.webmanifest with own values

const FaviconsWebpackPlugin = require('favicons-webpack-plugin')

plugins: [
  new FaviconsWebpackPlugin({
    logo: './src/logo.png',
    mode: 'webapp',
    manifest: './src/manifest.webmanifest'
  })
]
