HTML Webpack Externals Plugin

A Webpack plugin v3.8.0 (latest) that works alongside html-webpack-plugin to externalize specified module bundles, injecting script or link tags into the generated HTML. It automates the process of using pre-packaged vendor bundles (e.g., React, Lodash) via CDN or local files, reducing bundle size and improving caching. Unlike webpack's built-in externals, this plugin integrates directly with html-webpack-plugin to add the corresponding <script> or <link> tags. It requires html-webpack-plugin >=2.0.0 as a peer dependency. The plugin has been in maintenance mode with infrequent updates; last release was in 2019. Supports Node >=4.3.0.
