parcel-plugin-keep-asset-folders

Keep assets original directory structure in Parcel's output.

All static assets referenced by Parcel will be outputted in the root directory. This may be what you want, but for many people it is not - see this collection of GitHub issues. This plugin patches Parcel so that assets keep their original directory structure.

In addition, Parcel does not handle extension-less files (like CNAME) very well: it will add a dot to the file name (CNAME.). This plugin also fixes this.

WARNING This plugin modifies Parcel internals through an undocumented API. Therefore, your website may break if you are not careful when selecting which version of Parcel you are using.

Examples

Take the project structure as outlined below.

- uploads
-- 2019
---  my-amazing-landscape.jpg
-- logo.png
- index.html
- CNAME

Typically, the build will produce:

- CNAME.
- index.html
- my-amazing-landscape.<hash>.jpg
- logo.<hash>.png

With this plugin, the structure is as follows:

- uploads
-- 2019
--- my-amazing-landscape.<hash>.jpg
-- logo.<hash>.png
- CNAME
- index.html

Installation

Depending on which package manager you use, either:

• $ npm install --save-dev parcel-plugin-keep-asset-folders
• $ yarn add --dev parcel-plugin-keep-asset-folders

Usage

Parcel automatically picks up on this plugin, and no further action is required on your part.

You can see what assets are updated by enabling debug mode: $ DEBUG=parcel:keep-asset-folders parcel ....
