Specify output filename in production build using webpack.

[williamsharkey]

I want to specify the filename for a production build of a vue.js project that uses webpack, so that the bundled js file is not dynamically named client.[hash].js, but helloworld.js.

I created the project using vue init

Currently it outputs the following:

• index.html
• client.c4113ffa.js
• client.c4113ffa.js.map

I used the command:
vue build src/main.js --prod

My webpack.config.js file is listed below. I added the a line near the end, expecting that it would output helloworld.js, but it had no effect. I saw an issue that I think address this issue, but I am unsure of how to take advantage of it ( #326 )

I apologize if I am posting this issue in the wrong place, perhaps it is an issue with UglifyJS?

var path = require('path')
var webpack = require('webpack')

module.exports = {
  entry: './src/main.js',
  output: {
    path: path.resolve(__dirname, './dist'),
    publicPath: '/dist/',
    filename: 'build.js'
  },
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.vue$/,
        loader: 'vue-loader',
        options: {
          loaders: {
          }
          // other vue-loader options go here
        }
      },
      {
        test: /\.js$/,
        loader: 'babel-loader',
        exclude: /node_modules/
      },
      {
        test: /\.(png|jpg|gif|svg)$/,
        loader: 'file-loader',
        options: {
          name: '[name].[ext]?[hash]'
        }
      }
    ]
  },
  resolve: {
    alias: {
      'vue$': 'vue/dist/vue.esm.js'
    }
  },
  devServer: {
    historyApiFallback: true,
    noInfo: true
  },
  performance: {
    hints: false
  },
  devtool: '#eval-source-map'
}

if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production') {
  module.exports.devtool = '#source-map'

//ADDED THIS START
  module.exports.output.filename= 'helloworld.js'
//ADDED THIS END



    // http://vue-loader.vuejs.org/en/workflow/production.html
    module.exports.plugins = (module.exports.plugins || []).concat([
      new webpack.DefinePlugin({
        'process.env': {
          NODE_ENV: '"production"'
        }
      }),
      new webpack.optimize.UglifyJsPlugin({
        sourceMap: true,
        compress: {
          warnings: false
        }
      }),
      new webpack.LoaderOptionsPlugin({
        minimize: true
      })
    ])
}

You can already do this by modifying the webpack conf. There's nothing to be added on vue-cli end because this is something that can be customised in the template itself.
