spawn-loader
Webpack loader to spawn a new entry chunk.
A fork of entry-loader, with a few changes:
-
Gives descriptive names to the chunk and child compiler.
-
Adds a
pathoption to output files to a subdirectory.
Installation
npm install --save-dev spawn-loader
Usage
// simplest usage: emits otherBundle.js in the same directory
var url = require('spawn-loader!./otherBundle');
// url === 'otherBundle.js'
// build into a subdir: emits otherBundle.js
// (and any assets it emits) into childDir/
var url = require('spawn-loader?path=childDir!./otherBundle');
// url === 'childDir/otherBundle.js'
// specify a different name
var url = require('spawn-loader?name=bundle.js!./file');
// url === 'bundle.js'
// emit the required file as-is, with no prelude
// only useful in combination with other loaders
var url = require('spawn-loader?inert!./manifest.json');
// url === 'manifest.json'webpack.config.js Options
