Gracefully fallback to __webpack_public_path__

[agoldis]

webpack allows users to explicitly https://webpack.js.org/guides/public-path/#on-the-fly. The plugin should respect the value of __webpack_public_path__, but still override it when a configuration option is set.

Hi @agoldis I'd be interested in helping with this.

@davidmjiang that's great! thank you for that! Do you need any guidance / context?

[davidmjiang]

I think I understand it. If a configuration option is set (path, variableName or methodName), then we set the value as we are doing it now. In this case, users can not change the public path using __webpack_public_path = something. If none of those are set, then we should allow users to change public path using webpack_public_path. Does that sound right?

@davidmjiang indeed :)
