DEPREACTED for v5: please consider migrating to asset modules.
A loader for webpack that allows importing files as a String.
To begin, you'll need to install raw-loader:
$ npm install raw-loader --save-devThen add the loader to your webpack config. For example:
file.js
importtxtfrom'./file.txt';webpack.config.js
// webpack.config.jsmodule.exports={module: {rules: [{test: /\.txt$/i,use: 'raw-loader',},],},};And run webpack via your preferred method.
| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
esModule | {Boolean} | true | Uses ES modules syntax |
Type: Boolean
Default: true
By default, raw-loader generates JS modules that use the ES modules syntax.
There are some cases in which using ES modules is beneficial, like in the case of module concatenation and tree shaking.
You can enable a CommonJS module syntax using:
webpack.config.js
module.exports={module: {rules: [{test: /\.txt$/i,use: [{loader: 'raw-loader',options: {esModule: false,},},],},],},};importtxtfrom'raw-loader!./file.txt';Beware, if you already define loader(s) for extension(s) in webpack.config.js you should use:
importcssfrom'!!raw-loader!./file.txt';// Adding `!!` to a request will disable all loaders specified in the configurationPlease take a moment to read our contributing guidelines if you haven't yet done so.
