Custom templating in index.html

See original GitHub issue

Feature Suggestion

Allow for custom templating in the index.html that is served by the app plugin.

Possible Implementation

We could pass the rest of app config because extraneous fields are not removed.

Context

I would like to be able to modify the index.html by conditionally adding certain script tags. Unfortunately, because of the limited variables passed to the HtmlWebpackPlugin, I am unable to do so.

A possible way forward here is to power up the app-backend plugin a bit and let it template the index file. That’s be the most straightforward place and perhaps least hacky as well. It really wouldn’t need any file rewrites or anything either, just a custom handler.

Other options if you want to do this in the deployment end are scripts similar to https://github.com/backstage/backstage/blob/557faeb7e1d1480ae6618ee4068079fec98fb85f/contrib/docker/frontend-with-nginx/docker/inject-config.sh#L5 or perhaps some other flavors of dynamic web servers.
