1. support creating directory recursively 2. support data of function type, which allows processing data in complex situation 3. support native options of underlying writeFileSync 4. support protection of an exsited file

npm install --save-dev write-file-webpack

Usage

The data to be written can be either a simple javascript variable, or a function which returns some data.

If the data is provided as a function, we can do more operations than just simply returning the data to be written. For example, if we wanna write to a file parts of an exsited file say package.json, and more specifically, removing the dependencies and devDependencies items, with write-file-webpack we can do this:

Of course, if we want to copy the whole content of a existed file, there is webpack plugin called copy-webpack-plugin.
