text-loader

0.0.1 verified Sat Apr 25 auth: no javascript deprecated

Webpack loader that polyfills the RequireJS text loader module for use with webpack. Version 0.0.1. No longer maintained; developers should migrate to webpack's built-in raw-loader or asset modules for loading text files. This package has extremely low usage and has not been updated since its initial release.

Common errors

error Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'text-loader' ↓

cause text-loader is not installed or webpack cannot resolve it.

fix

Install: npm install text-loader --save-dev Or replace with raw-loader if text-loader is deprecated.

error BREAKING CHANGE: webpack < 5 used to include polyfills of node.js core modules by default. ↓

cause Using text-loader with webpack 5+ may cause issues due to removed node polyfills.

fix

Use raw-loader or asset modules instead of text-loader.

Warnings

deprecated text-loader is deprecated and not maintained. Use webpack's built-in raw-loader or asset modules instead. ↓

fix Replace with raw-loader: { test: /\.txt$/, use: 'raw-loader' } or asset modules: { test: /\.txt$/, type: 'asset/source' }

gotcha Loader may not work with webpack 4+ or newer versions; compatibility is uncertain. ↓

fix Switch to raw-loader or webpack asset modules for reliable behavior.

Install

Imports

default

```

```
This package is a webpack loader and not a standard import; it is configured in webpack.config.js, not imported in code.

text-loader

wrong

Using the loader without proper webpack configuration or mixing with incompatible loaders

correct

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

The loader expects text files and outputs their content as a string module. Use raw-loader instead.

Quickstart

Configures webpack to use text-loader for .txt files, outputting file content as a string module.

// webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
  entry: './src/index.js',
  output: {
    filename: 'bundle.js',
    path: __dirname + '/dist'
  },
  module: {
    rules: [
      { test: /\.txt$/, use: ['text-loader'] }
    ]
  }
};
