echo-loader v0.0.1

echo-loader

Webpack loader that prints to the console the filename being processed by another loader (for debugging purposes).

When chaining different loaders in webpack, sometimes is difficult to realize wheter a loader is being triggered or not.

By chaining echo-loader to the existing loaders, you can print a message that tells you that the loader has been activated.

Examples:

Suppose you are processing *.tsx files with the loader ts-loader:

A config that prints the filename of the file being processed by ts-loader:

/* ... */ 
{ 
   test: /\.tsx?$/, 
   exclude: /node_modules/, 
   use: [
      { loader: "echo-loader" }, 
      { loader: "ts-loader" }, // <-- or your loader of choice
   ]
}
/* ... */

A config that prints the filename with a custom message:

/* ... */ 
{ 
   test: /\.tsx?$/, 
   exclude: /node_modules/, 
   use: [
      { loader: "echo-loader?msg=processing" }, 
      { loader: "ts-loader" }, // <-- or your loader of choice
   ]
}
/* ... */

A config that dumps the actual file content to the console (after being processed by ts-loader)

/* ... */ 
{ 
   test: /\.tsx?$/, 
   exclude: /node_modules/, 
   use: [
      { loader: "echo-loader?msg=dump" }, 
      { loader: "ts-loader" }, // <-- or your loader of choice
   ]
}
/* ... */
