A webpack loader for parsing json5 files into JavaScript objects.
To begin, you'll need to install json5-loader
:
$ npm install json5-loader --save-dev
You can use the loader either:
- by configuring the
json5-loader
in themodule.loaders
object of the webpack configuration, or - by directly using the
json5-loader!
prefix to the require statement.
Suppose we have the following json5
file:
file.json5
// file.json5
{
env: 'production',
passwordStrength: 'strong',
}
webpack.config.js
// webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
entry: './index.js',
output: {
/* ... */
},
module: {
loaders: [
{
// make all files ending in .json5 use the `json5-loader`
test: /\.json5$/,
loader: 'json5-loader',
},
],
},
};
// index.js
var appConfig = require('./appData.json5');
// or, in ES6
// import appConfig from './appData.json5'
console.log(appConfig.env); // 'production'
var appConfig = require('json5-loader!./appData.json5');
// returns the content as json parsed object
console.log(appConfig.env); // 'production'
Don't forget to polyfill require if you want to use it in Node.js. See the webpack documentation.
