HtmlWebpackPlugin erase template div

I follow this example(http://courses.reactjsprogram.com/courses/reactjsfundamentals/lectures/760301) to start one reactj app, so this is my webpack.config.js

var HtmlWebpackPlugin = require('html-webpack-plugin');
var HtmlWebpackPluginConfig = new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
  tempalte : __dirname + '/app/index.html',
  filename : 'index.html',
  inject : 'body'
})
module.exports = {
  entry: [
    './app/index.js'
  ],
  output: {
    path : __dirname + '/dist',
    filename : "index_bundle.js"
  },
  module : {
    loaders :[
      {test: /\.js$/, include: __dirname + '/app', loader: "babel-loader"}
    ]
  },
  plugins : [HtmlWebpackPluginConfig]
}

And this is my index.html template:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title> teste</title>
</head>
<body>
  <div id="app"></div>
</body>
</html>

and this is my index.html generated by webpack

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>Webpack App</title>
  </head>
  <body>
  <script src="index_bundle.js"></script></body>
</html>

Note: my are removed, so when I try to run my app I got the error: 

Uncaught Invariant Violation: _registerComponent(...): Target container is not a DOM element.

How can I fix to don`t remove my div? I using "babel-core": "^6.7.6", "babel-loader": "^6.2.4", "babel-preset-react": "^6.5.0", "html-webpack-plugin": "^2.15.0", "webpack": "^1.13.0", "webpack-dev-server": "^1.14.1"

tks

Solution

  • A typo in the template key in your configuration means that it is using a default template and not the one you were trying to include. The default behavior makes this error difficult to spot.

    tempalte : __dirname + '/app/index.html' should be template : __dirname + '/app/index.html'
