unplugin-inject-preload
This plugin adds preload links by getting output assets from the build tools you are using.
Supporting:
- Vite 4 and 5 (on build only)
- Webpack 5 (with HtmlWebpackPlugin 5)
- Rspack 1.0 (with HtmlWebpackPlugin 5 or HtmlRspackPlugin)
[!NOTE] This plugin combines vite-plugin-inject-preload and html-webpack-inject-preload into one package.

👨💻 Usage
All example are presented for ViteJS but this is the same behavior for Webpack and RsPack
All the files needs to be process by the bundler to be find by the plugin. For example, if I load this CSS file :
@font-face {
font-family: 'Roboto';
src: url('./../fonts/Roboto-Italic.woff2');
font-weight: 400;
font-style: italic;
}
@font-face {
font-family: 'Roboto';
src: url('./../fonts/Roboto-Regular.woff2');
font-weight: 400;
font-style: normal;
}
I can make the following configuration for UnpluginInjectPreload :
// vite.config.js / vite.config.ts
import UnpluginInjectPreload from 'unplugin-inject-preload/vite'
export default {
plugins: [
UnpluginInjectPreload({
files: [
{
entryMatch: /Roboto-[a-zA-Z]*\.woff2$/,
},
{
outputMatch: /lazy.[a-z-0-9]*.(css|js)$/,
}
]
})
]
}
Options
-
files: An array of files object
- entryMatch: A regular expression to target entry files you want to preload
- outputMatch: A regular expression to target output build files you want to preload
You need to set at least
entryMatch
or/andoutputMatch
. Be aware that entry file is not always present for webpack andentryMatch
will do nothing.- attributes (optional):
If this option is ommited, it will determine the
mime
and theas
attributes automatically. You can also add/override any attributes you want.
-
injectTo (optional): By default, the preload links are injected with the
'head-prepend'
options. But you can pass'head'
to inject preload links at bottom of the head tag if you need it.<br> You can pass the'custom'
option and put<!--__unplugin-inject-preload__-->
in your.html
file where you want to inject the preload links.
With the full options usage, you can do something like this :
// vite.config.js / vite.config.ts
import UnpluginInjectPreload from 'unplugin-inject-preload/vite'
export default {
plugins: [
UnpluginInjectPreload({
files: [
{
entryMatch: /Roboto-[a-zA-Z]*\.woff2$/,
outputMatch: /Roboto-[a-zA-Z]*-[a-z-0-9]*\.woff2$/,
attributes: {
'type': 'font/woff2',
'as': 'font',
'crossorigin': 'anonymous',
'data-font': 'Roboto'
}
},
{
outputMatch: /lazy.[a-z-0-9]*.(js)$/,
attributes: {
rel: 'modulepreload',
type: undefined,
}
}
],
injectTo: 'head-prepend'
})
]
}
