xml-source-loader v0.1.2

xml-source-loader

This is a webpack loader that loads XML files and requires any dependencies they have, as specified via a "source" node attribute.

It marshals the XML into a JSON format, and for any nodes with a source attribute, it will wrap that attribute with a require so that it will get loaded through webpack's normal loading mechanism (eg file-loader).

It was designed to be compatible with the XML format produced by Tiled.

The JSON format that the XML gets converted into can be described using this type:

interface Element {
  tagName: string;
  children: Array<Element>;
  attributes: {
    [attributeName: string]: any;
  };
}

Usage

// webpack.config.js

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.xml$/i,
        use: ["xml-source-loader"],
      },
    ],
  },
};

const tileset = require("./tileset.xml");
const map = require("./map.xml");

console.log(tileset);
// { tagName: "tileset", ... }
console.log(map);
// { tagName: "map", ... }
