webpack html (ejs) include other templates

So this is my webpack config :

import path from 'path';

var HtmlWebpackPlugin = require('html-webpack-plugin');


module.exports = {
    entry: {
        index: './dev/index.js'
    },
    output: {
        path: path.join(__dirname, 'dist'),
        // publicPath: 'http://localhost:3000/',
        filename: 'bundle.js',
        chunkFilename: '[id].bundle.js'
    },
    module: {
        loaders: [
            {
                test: /\.js$/,
                exclude: path.resolve(__dirname, "node_modules"),
                loader: 'babel-loader'
            }
        ]
    },
    plugins: [
        new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
            hash: true,
            template: 'ejs!./dev/index.ejs',
            inject: 'body'
        })
    ]

};

My index.ejs file :

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
    <%- include html/one/1.ejs %>

</body>

</html>

My folder structure :

dev/
  /assets
  /html
    /one
      1.ejs
      1.scss
      1.js
    /two
    /three
  index.js
  index.ejs

I want to modularize my html file so I want to include them...

I've tried a lot of methods including another template, but none of them worked...

Can someone give me any ideea of how can I make this work?

Use ejs-render-loader package. see package

plugins: [
    new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
        hash: true,
        template: 'ejs-render!./dev/index.ejs',
        inject: 'body'
    })
]

I think it will solve your problem.

update: with webpack3 the syntax for loaders has changed. 'ejs-render!./dev/index.ejs' should now be: 'ejs-render-loader!./dev/index.ejs'
