Banner on top of generated webpack output

[ehtb]

I was thinking about adding support to Webpack's Bannerplugin?

Something along the lines of:

var pkg = require('./package.json');

/**
 ** <%= pkg.name %> - <%= pkg.description %>
 ** @author <%= pkg.author %>
 ** @version v<%= pkg.version %>
 **/

Perhaps we could also add support for licenses:
fs.readFileSync('./LICENSE', 'utf8')

I can make a pull request if you're interested.

Can you describe the use case for this when building apps?

We are using this to quickly be able to see which version of the built js we are running, by simply reading the header / banner of the file. Another one might be to show license or author information.

I see. I think this is a very specific request and probably out of scope for CRA. You can do this manually by post-processing build output if you’d like.
