Feature request: Give the plugin instance a sensible name #83

Feature request

What is motivation or use case for adding/changing the behavior?

When debugging webpack configurations it is helpful for plugins to have sensible names. html-bundler-webpack-plugin just shows Plugin:

Describe the solution you'd like

Give the plugin instance a name that describes what it is, like HtmlBundlerWebpackPlugin.

This sort of thing could be considered breaking change, but if you are going to rename the library soon it'd be a great time to introduce this kind of change.

Hello @davidmurdoch,

thanks for the constructive suggestion. The instance was named as HtmlBundlerPlugin in the version 3.6.5.

P.S.

I don't plan to rename it soon, while the plugin is still not popular. The purpose of renaming is to distance ourselves from the html-webpack-plugin so that the html-bundler-webpack-plugin is not confused with html-webpack-plugin. The name is similar, but has absolutely other meaning.
