HtmlWebpackPlugin automatically generates HTML files that include your Webpack bundles. It's useful because:
Automatic injection: Automatically adds script and link tags for your bundles
Template support: Can use HTML templates with variables
Multiple pages: Can generate multiple HTML files
Cache busting: Works with filename hashing for cache invalidation
new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
template: './src/index.html',
filename: 'index.html',
chunks: ['app'], // Only include specific chunks
minify: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production'
})
