Answer 1

There is another solution, assuming Webpack ^4.44.1. That is, importing the HTML in your JS/TS app.

Sample webpack.config.js

const path = require('path');
const HtmlWebpackPlugin = require('html-webpack-plugin');
const { CleanWebpackPlugin } = require('clean-webpack-plugin');


module.exports = {
    entry: { app: './src/index.ts' },

    mode: 'development',
    devtool: 'inline-source-map',
    plugins: [
        new CleanWebpackPlugin(),
        new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
            title: 'Development',
            template: path.join(path.resolve(__dirname, 'src'), 'index.ejs')
        }),
    ],
    module: {
        rules: [
            {
                test: /\.ts$/,
                use: 'ts-loader',
                include: [path.resolve(__dirname, 'src')],
                exclude: /node_modules/,
            },
            {
                test: /\.html$/i,
                use: [
                    {
                        loader: 'file-loader',
                        options: {
                            name: '[name].[ext]'
                        }
                    }
                ],
                // this exclude is required
                exclude: path.join(path.resolve(__dirname, 'src'), 'index.html')
            }
        ],
    },
    resolve: {
        extensions: ['.ts', '.js'],
    },
    devServer: {
        contentBase: path.join(__dirname, 'dist'),
        compress: true,
        port: 3900
    },
    output: {
        filename: 'bundle.js',
        path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist'),
    },
};

Corresponding app

import './about.html';
    
console.log('this is a test'); 

index.ejs

    
    


     About

about.html

    
    
    


    
This is an about page

Webpack will copy about.html to the corresponding output folder.
