I am trying to assign variable inside <script> tag by means of html-webpack-plugin where the variable is located.
I can easily use it inside html tags like title
<%= htmlWebpackPlugin.options.applicationId %>

My html-webpack-plugin looks like :

new HtmlWebpackPlugin(
 filename: config.build.index,
 template: 'index.html',
 inject: true,
 applicationId : process.env.APPLICATION_ID ?process.env.APPLICATION_ID : 1,
 minify: 
 removeComments: true,
 collapseWhitespace: true,
 removeAttributeQuotes: false
 // more options:
 // https://github.com/kangax/html-minifier#options-quick-reference
 ,
 // necessary to consistently work with multiple chunks via CommonsChunkPlugin
 chunksSortMode: 'dependency'
 ),

And I want to use variable applicationId on index.html page with following script :

<script type="text/javascript">
 var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
 xhr.onreadystatechange = function() 
 if (xhr.readyState == XMLHttpRequest.DONE) 
 document.write(xhr.responseText);
 
 ;
 var appId = <%= htmlWebpackPlugin.options.applicationId %>;
 xhr.open("GET","https://somesite.com/NavigationApi/api/content/get?applicationId=" + appId,false);
 xhr.send(null);
 </script>
