Option to map entries or normalize paths on both Windows and OSX/Linux

[mikegleasonjr]

Hi,

The keys of the manifest on Windows are: "path\\file.ext"

Whereas on Linux/OSX it is: "path/file.ext"

Making it difficult to reference a resource by its key in the manifest.

Can we have a callback function to transform the manifest elements prior to insertion or have both paths use slashes (/)?

This is what I'm planning to do on #55

+1 - this is the 1 other hack that we're maintaining in our fork. I really like #55 ;)

I have two points:

• as I understand, it should be default behavior
• how to solve different platforms problem: when the building goes no the, say, Windows, and running on the Linux?

[mastilver]

@a-x- you are making a good point here

We should stick to the linux path even on windows so it's consistent if you relly on the key during your build process

[weaverryan]

Yep, our hack is exactly to make sure that the keys are always the same, regardless of platform. +1 for it being the default behavior.

@mikegleasonjr @weaverryan Would you mind giving me an example of webpack.config.js where this issue occurs, that will help me writing the tests (as I don't have access to a windows machine...)

@mikegleasonjr Good point ;)

{
  context: __dirname,
  entry: {
    'test\\one': './fixtures/file.js',
    two: './fixtures/file-two.js'
  },
  plugins: [
    new ManifestPlugin()
  ]
}

Thanks @mastilver !
