vite-plugin-html-inject

npm GitHub Repo stars GitHub GitHub last commit Issues

Split your index.html into smaller, reusable static HTML pieces.

// vite.config.js
import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import injectHTML from 'vite-plugin-html-inject';

export default defineConfig({
	plugins: [injectHTML()],
});

Load those sweet separate HTML files

<!-- index.html -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
	<head>
		<meta charset="UTF-8" />
		<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />
		<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
	</head>
	<body>
		<!-- Loads the specified .html file -->
		<load src="src/html/header/branding.html" />
		<!-- Loads index.html or index.htm file inside the specified directory -->
		<load src="src/html/header" />
		<div>
			<load src="src/html/body/sidebar.html" />
			<load src="src/html/body" />
		</div>
		<load src="src/html/footer" />
	</body>
</html>

Pass down static arguments to injected HTML parts

The plugin also allows you to supply your HTML parts with some basic arguments, so you can reuse the same piece of code in multiple places.

For example you can reuse a similarly styled link somewhere in your index.html:

<!-- index.html -->
...
<div class="some-cool-menu">
	<!-- Load a HTML part -->
	<load
		src="src/some-static-link.htm"
		label="Go to DuckDuckGo"
		href="https://duckduckgo.com/"
	/>
	<load
		src="src/some-static-link.htm"
		label="Go to Google"
		href="https://google.com"
	/>
</div>
...

And that src/some-static-link.htm:

<!-- src/some-static-link.htm -->
<a href="{=$href}" class="some-cool-link-style">{=$label}</a>

This will result in a dev and runtime generated index.html looking like

<!-- generated index.html -->
...
<div class="some-cool-menu">
	<!-- Load a HTML part -->
	<a href="https://duckduckgo.com/" class="some-cool-link-style">
		Go to DuckDuckGo
	</a>
	<a href="https://google.com" class="some-cool-link-style">Go to Google</a>
</div>
...

Customization

You are able to customize the loader tag name and the source attribute name.
For example a configuration like:

injectHTML({
	tagName: 'loader', // Default is `load`
	sourceAttr: 'file', // Default is `src`
});

will replace:

<!-- Load a HTML part -->
<loader
	file="src/some-static-link.htm"
	label="Go to DuckDuckGo"
	href="https://duckduckgo.com/"
/>

Debugging

By default the debugging option is turned off. However, if you encounter issues loading files, you can turn on path logging.

injectHTML({
	debug: {
		logPath: true,
	},
});
