webpack-requiredir

0.2.1 verified Sat Apr 25 auth: no javascript deprecated

This library provides a simple function to recursively require all modules from a webpack require.context, returning a hash of modules keyed by their names. Version 0.2.1 is the latest. It supports optional object modification, exclusion of specific modules, and applying a transformation function to each module. It is a minimal utility for use with webpack's require.context, primarily in Node.js or webpack-bundled applications. No active development; last updated in 2016.

Common errors

error Cannot find module 'webpack-requiredir' ↓

cause Package may not be installed or the name is misspelled.

fix

Run: npm install webpack-requiredir

error TypeError: require.context is not a function ↓

cause Code is not running in a webpack-bundled environment (e.g., Node.js outside webpack).

fix

Ensure the code is part of a webpack bundle, or use a polyfill for require.context.

error Unexpected token export ↓

cause The package uses CommonJS, but your bundler expects ESM imports.

fix

Use require() instead of import, or configure your bundler to handle CommonJS.

Warnings

deprecated Package is no longer maintained; last update in 2016. Use dynamic imports or modern webpack context features instead. ↓

fix Replace with manual import() calls or webpack's require.context directly with custom logic.

gotcha require.context is webpack-specific; this library only works in a webpack-bundled environment. ↓

fix Ensure code is bundled with webpack; use only where require.context is available.

gotcha The resolved module keys are file paths relative to the context directory; not suitable for dynamic access without normalization. ↓

fix Map keys as needed (e.g., strip extensions and leading './').

Install

npm install webpack-requiredir

yarn add webpack-requiredir

pnpm add webpack-requiredir

Imports

default

wrong

import requireDir from 'webpack-requiredir';

correct

const requireDir = require('webpack-requiredir');

Package does not provide ESM exports; CommonJS only.

requireDir

wrong

import { requireDir } from 'webpack-requiredir';

correct

const requireDir = require('webpack-requiredir');
requireDir(require.context('./src', true, /\.js$/));

The package exports a single function as default.

require.context

wrong

const result = requireDir(require.context('./dir', true, /\.js$/), {});

correct

const result = requireDir(require.context('./dir', true, /\.js$/));

Second argument is optional; if provided it must be an options object.

Quickstart

Shows how to require all .js files from ./src/components recursively, excluding index.js, and extracting default exports.

const requireDir = require('webpack-requiredir');
const context = require.context('./src/components', true, /\.js$/);
const modules = requireDir(context, {
  exclude: ['index.js'],
  functionToApply: (module) => module.default || module
});
console.log(modules);
