JSON Modules loader

A Webpack loader that loads a JSON object and resolves paths to actual modules.

It is useful to decouple your dependencies from your code. Just replace the dependencies in you JSON file with others that behave the same.

With npm:

npm install --save-dev @csgis/json-modules-loader

With yarn:

yarn add -D @csgis/json-modules-loader

Usage

webpack.config.js

{
   test: /app\.json$/,
   use: [ '@csgis/json-modules-loader' ]
}

{
  "modules": {
    "x": "react",
    "y": "react-dom"
  }
}

file.js

  app.modules.x.createElement(Hello, {toWhat: 'World'}, null),
  document.getElementById('root')
);
