What this is
RFC scaffold submitted as part of my GSoC 2026 proposal for the "Entry Points as HTML" idea. Introduces the skeleton of
HtmlEntryPlugin— first of four planned components.Planned architecture
HtmlEntryPlugin— hookscompiler.hooks.make, registers HTML entriesHtmlModuleFactory— resolves.html→HtmlModuleHtmlParser— parse5-based DOM walker emittingScriptSrcDependency,LinkHrefDependency,ImgSrcDependencyHtmlGenerator— rewrites asset URLs in emitted HTMLCurrent state
Skeleton only.
HtmlDependencyandHtmlModuleFactoryare next steps pending mentor feedback on the module factory approach.##Comment on issue #536
Hi — I'm working on a GSoC 2026 proposal for this feature. I've studied
the EntryPlugin → NormalModuleFactory → Compilation.addEntry() pipeline
and designed a 4-component architecture: HtmlEntryPlugin, HtmlModuleFactory,
HtmlParser (parse5), and HtmlGenerator.
