Take control over the encoding of emitted webpack assets. This can be useful, if the delivering webserver enforces a specific content-type, so that your js-code is not interpreted as utf-8 by the browser.
install module
npm install webpack-encoding-plugin
setup webpack config
constEncodingPlugin=require('webpack-encoding-plugin');module.exports={entry: './entry.js',output: {path: '../dist',filename: 'bundle.js'},plugins: [newEncodingPlugin({encoding: 'iso-8859-1'})]};Additional options:
test, include, exclude RegExp or array of RegExps to filter processed files
(default test is /(\.js|\.css)($|\?)/i)
The Plugin uses iconv-lite to handle the encoding. A list of supported encodings can be found here
To use non-utf-8 encoding with webpack-dev-server, you must set the appropriate charset like so:
devServer: {headers: {'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': '*','Content-Type': 'application/javascript; charset=windows-1251'}// ...}
