webpack-inline-manifest-plugin

A webpack plugin that inlines the runtime manifest chunk as an inline script tag in the HTML, eliminating an extra HTTP request. Current stable version is 4.0.1, maintained infrequently. It requires HtmlWebpackPlugin (v2.10+). Unlike alternatives that extract the manifest to a file, this plugin embeds the runtime JavaScript directly into the HTML generated by HtmlWebpackPlugin. It is only intended for webpack 4 and above (v4 drops support for webpack 3). The plugin is lightweight with no extra runtime dependencies, but its feature set is minimal and may not be actively developed.
