can javascript be inline with webpack?

I need to import a library to my project, the library should is a javascript file, which need to be inlined to html.

for example:

library codeļ¼š

(function(){
   var a = 0;
})();

I need to make this code inline in html.

html:

<html>
  <head>
    <script>
      (function(){
         var a = 0;
      })();
    </script>
  </head>

  <body>
  </body>
</html>

can I implement this with webpack? I find script-loader, but it run the script, not make it inline.

At last, we solve this problem by combining webpack and gulp. (with two plugins: gulp-html-replace and gulp-inline-source.)

html:

 <html>
  <head>
    <!-- build:js -->
    <!-- endbuild -->
  </head>

  <body>
  </body>
</html>

gulpfile:

  gulp.task('replace-and-inline', function () {
      return gulp.src('./dist/index.html')
        .pipe(htmlreplace({
          'js': {
            src: [your libs which you want to be inline],
            tpl: '<script src="%s" inline></script>'
          }
        }))
        .pipe(inlinesource())
        .pipe(gulp.dest('./dist/'));
    });

In package.json, define a task, which will compile the project using webpack and then inject the js file as inline.

"build": "rimraf dist && webpack --progress --hide-modules --config build/webpack.prod.conf.js;gulp replace-and-inline"

When you want to release your project, just run npm run build

we have made a webpack plugin to solve this issue.
