webp-loader

Webpack loader that converts JPEG and PNG images to WebP format using imagemin-webp under the hood. Version 0.6.0 is the latest stable release. The loader integrates with webpack's loader pipeline and is typically combined with file-loader or multi-loader to produce both original and WebP versions. Key differentiator: it provides a direct bridge between webpack and imagemin-webp, allowing configuration via query string. However, it has seen only sporadic updates and is largely superseded by more modern image optimization plugins like imagemin-webpack-plugin.
