Support for loader chaning #394

Closed danptr closed 3 years ago

Feature Proposal

I'd like to chain another custom loader in front of file-loader. However, file-loader will always return export default <path>, even when chaining is used. This is suboptimal since this output cannot be used directly as input for the next loader which is only interested in the <url> part. I propose a loader option that ensures the loader will return the url without export default.

Yep, this is how the loader works, nfortunately it will never work like that. Also:

file-loader/url-loader/raw-loader are deprecated for webpack@5 in favor https://webpack.js.org/guides/asset-modules/ (only custom publicPath is not supported, we are working on it)
Not raw loader should always return JS code

So my recommendation - create own loader, logic is simple
