Cumulative Release v2.0.0 - v2.5.0

⚠ POTENTIAL BREAKING CHANGE (v2.0.0):

• Upgraded the default preprocessor eta to next major version 3.0.
  Perhaps you may need to migrate your Eta templates to v3 syntax.

Features

• Added the reference for data in the plugin options.
  The NEW syntactic "sugar":

  new HtmlBundlerPlugin({
    entry: {
      index: './src/views/home.ejs',
    },
    // new reference to the loaderOptions.data
    data: {...},
  }),
  

  The old syntax is still valid:

  new HtmlBundlerPlugin({
    entry: {
      index: './src/views/home.ejs',
    },
    loaderOptions: {
      // original option is under loaderOptions
      data: {...},
    },
  }),
  

• Added the references for preprocessor and preprocessorOptions in the plugin options.

    preprocessor: 'ejs',
    preprocessorOptions: {...},
  }),
