extricate-loader

extricate-loader

Webpack loader to extract content from the bundle.

A fork of extract-loader, which will better serve your needs if you only want to extract HTML or CSS.

Installation

npm install --save-dev extricate-loader

Options

By default, extricate-loader will resolve all require() expressions with Webpack's internal module loader and substitute the resolved values asynchronously.

If you supply a regexp for the resolve option, any path that matches will be required synchronously with Node's native require(). This means that none of your Webpack loaders will apply.

This is necessary for css-loader to work, since it requires a helper module.

Examples

All .js files: extricate-loader?resolve=\\.js$

Example Usage

webpack.config.js:

module.exports = {
  entry: 'manifest.json',
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.json$/,
        use: [
          { loader: 'file-loader', options: { name: '[name].[ext]' } },
          { loader: 'extricate-loader' },
          { loader: 'interpolate-loader' }
        ]
      },
      {
        test: /\.css$/,
        use: [
          { loader: 'file-loader' },
          { loader: 'extricate-loader', options: { resolve: '\\.js$' } },
          { loader: 'css-loader' }
        ]
      },
      { test: /\.js$/, use: ['entry-loader'] },
      { test: /\.png$/, use: ['file-loader'] }
    ]
  }
  // ...
};

manifest.json:

{
  "scripts": "{{app.js}}",
