[name] is not acceptable in filename option

[rdandnayak]

Here is my configuration in webppack.config.js

new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
      template: 'src/layouts/index.ejs',
      filename: '[name]/index.html',
 }),

for above config [name] is outputting as 0.html and also i want to generate it in specific folder just like [name]/[name].html

is this supported in this plugin? or any easy workaround available

I will be having multiple directories like this to be created, its multi page web application. or if you can suggest better approach that would be helpful

+1 When I want to rename my HTML template files dynamically,I met this problem,too.And I perfer no coding in config file.

I think if we can do a same thing like panini http://foundation.zurb.com/sites/docs/panini.html will be good. it provide a dynamic filename, hot reload page and etc.

Not most of people will keep add new html by changing web.config file, I think for dev also not very user friendly.

I totally agree, I want to change from Gulp to Webpack but without support for static pages / multipage is being a hell ...

I can not find optimal solutions.

I usually use Panini, but if possible with these other template libraries would be great:

• http://markojs.com/
• https://mozilla.github.io/nunjucks/
• https://pugjs.org/api/getting-started.html

Automatically detect multiple pages and inject css and javascript bundles.

Is that possible?
