manifest.json: Set filenames based on hash from file-loader

[magnusriga]

Thanks for a good boilerplate.

I used file-loader to load my images into dist. They all get a random hash, based on contents (from caching purposes).

Is there any way to transform manifest.json, so its icons refer to the image files with the hash applied by file-loader?

Thank you.

In case anyone is looking for an clue, have a look at the transform code invoked by CopyWebpackPlugin. For example, in my source:

new CopyWebpackPlugin([{
        from: paths.srcManifest,

        // ? Generates our manifest file using info from package.json
        transform: content => Buffer.from(JSON.stringify({
            name: `${DEV_ENV ? "DEV-" : ''}${pkg.name}`,
            description: pkg.description,
            version: pkg.version,
            'content_security_policy': `script-src 'self'${DEV_ENV ? " 'unsafe-eval'" : ''}; object-src 'self'`,
            ...JSON.parse(content.toString())
        }))
    }]),
