Are custom web bundle paths supported?

[subprotocol]

When using the bundler, it writes to here: /static/bundle/app-[hash].[ext]

Does there exist functionality such that I can choose the location of the bundle and exclude the hash? For example, can the web bundler be configured to put the javascript file here: /my-custom-directory/custom.js?

Hello @subprotocol,

Could you explain a bit your usecase, it seems a bit out of the web-bundler usage.

This https://github.com/mvnpm/esbuild-maven-plugin seems to be a better fit.

Cheers!

I have heatmap code on https://lytics.cloud/ that gets included by injecting a script via browser postMessage. The script lets people see heatmaps on their website and needs to have a deterministic url, so it doesn't work well with the hash suffix.

Up till now I've been manually running npm to generate the file and was looking for a better solution after running into an issue where I had forgotten to run it. Thank you for pointing out esbuild-maven-plugin, I will give this a try!

In our fullstack web component we use this: https://docs.quarkiverse.io/quarkus-web-bundler/dev/config-reference.html#quarkus-web-bundler_quarkus-web-bundler-bundle-redirect

It allows to have a fixed path for the script (through the redirect) without loosing the benefit of having a hash on new changes

@ia3andy thank you very much, I think that is the way to go. I will try that.
