Package description

What is raw-loader?

The `raw-loader` npm package is used to import files as a string in JavaScript modules. It is commonly used in web development projects to include file contents directly into JavaScript code, such as importing HTML, CSS, or SVG files. This can be particularly useful for embedding small templates, styles, or assets directly into JavaScript bundles without the need for separate HTTP requests to load these resources.

What are raw-loader's main functionalities?

Importing text files

This feature allows you to import the contents of text files, such as `.txt` files, directly into your JavaScript code as a string. This can be useful for embedding static text resources.

import myText from './file.txt';

Importing HTML templates

With `raw-loader`, you can import HTML templates directly into your JavaScript modules. This is particularly useful in frameworks or libraries that allow for template strings, enabling you to keep HTML templates in separate files for better organization.

import myTemplate from './template.html';

Importing CSS as a string

This feature allows importing CSS files as strings. This can be useful for injecting styles directly into the DOM using JavaScript, or for use with CSS-in-JS libraries that accept CSS as a string.

import styles from './styles.css';

raw-loader

A loader for webpack that allows importing files as a String.

Getting Started

To begin, you'll need to install raw-loader:

$ npm install raw-loader --save-dev

Then add the loader to your webpack config. For example:

file.js

import txt from './file.txt';

webpack.config.js

// webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.txt$/i,
        use: 'raw-loader',
      },
    ],
  },
};

Or from the command-line:

$ webpack --module-bind 'txt=raw-loader'

And run webpack via your preferred method.

Examples

Inline

import txt from 'raw-loader!./file.txt';

Beware, if you already define loader(s) for extension(s) in webpack.config.js you should use:

import css from '!!raw-loader!./file.css'; // Adding `!!` to a request will disable all loaders specified in the configuration
