Add useGzip option

[wood1986]

I am unable to wire up the gzipped js or css with the existing configuration. Meanwhile, someone has created #61. Therefore, I choose to modify your code. If you agree my enhancement, I will add the test later.

👍

[wood1986]

I did add the tests. I believe the failed test is not come from mine

@wood1986 see my comment here: #61 (comment)

Looks like this is being resolved by: webpack-contrib/compression-webpack-plugin#45

Can you confirm?

[wood1986]

Any updates? I have been waiting compression-webpack-plugin for 2 months. As they need lot of people to sign off the big changes, why don't take mine at this moment. You can easily deprecate after their fix

[mastilver]

I don't think this is going in

Have you actually tried using this code to solve your issue: webpack-contrib/compression-webpack-plugin#45 ?

npm i --save-dev ijpiantanida/compression-webpack-plugin:emit-event

[wood1986]

Sorry for the confusion. I confirm that iijpiantanida/compression-webpack-plugin:emit-event does not work. The final html is not using .gz

[farhan687]

I am looking for this feature. Any updates here?

[farhan687]

@mastilver that solution is not working, But this PR resolves gzip issue, Any plan to merge this PR?

[wood1986]

Finally, I choose not to use any compression plugin because they need a longer time fix it. Even if they fix it, I will not use. Here is my alternative. I am using ngnix and it has a plugin to handle the preprocessed gz. After the webpack bundling, gzip them with bash command. I think this is more reliable.

@farhan687 I still don't believe this is an issue with html-webpack-plugin and I think the fix should come from compression-webpack-plugin

If you can provide me with a simple repository reproducing that error, I will be more that happy to have a look at it! :)
