Options

Name | Type | Default Value | Description ------------ | ------------- | ------------- | ------------- banner | String | '{name} v{version}' | the banner template as string, to add to the top of each generated chunk; it will be wrapped in a comment
raw | Boolean | false | if true, banner will not be wrapped in a comment default | Object or Function | | it is the data to be available in banner via template. any field that exist here would override the fields of json or js file. if it's a function data would be passed to it as an object like this default(data) then this function can manipulate the data and return the new data path | String | | try to find your current directory or use webpack context to locate your filename and if fails to do that throws error filename | String | 'package.json' | file to use for data could be json or js (should exports (module.exports (commonjs2)) an object or a function that returns an object) test | String or RegExp or Array | | if the argument is a string it will be compared with the whole chunk's filename, string elements in array will do the same include | String or RegExp or Array | | it's not the path; it works just like test
exclude | String or RegExp or Array | | it's not the path; it works just like test but to exclude files instead of including theme

Template

Use {} for all data from default values or json or js file

Use <> for all chunk specific data that is <hash>, <chunk>, <filename>, <basename>, <query>

Note that you can select json or js exported object properties like this: {repository.url} or {keywords[0]}, {keywords[3]}

Note that <chunk> is an object too that you can use its properties like <chunk.name>, <chunk.ids[0]> or <chunk.hash>
