Replace loader for Webpack
Perform replacements (plain and regular expression) in the contents loaded by the loader.
$ npm install --save-dev string-replace-loader
In your webpack.config.js
:
module.exports = {
// ...
module: {
loaders: [
{
test: /fileInWhichJQueryIsUndefined\.js$/,
loader: 'string-replace',
query: {
search: 'jQuery',
replace: 'window.$'
}
}
]
}
}
To achieve regular expression replacement you should specify the flags
query param
(as an empty string if you do not want any flags). In this case, search
and flags
are being
passed to the RegExp constructor.
In your webpack.config.js
:
module.exports = {
// ...
module: {
loaders: [
{
test: /fileInWhichJQueryIsUndefined\.js$/,
loader: 'string-replace',
query: {
search: 'jquery',
replace: 'window.$',
flags: 'i'
}
}
]
}
}
Also, you can pass an array of search-replace pairs this way:
In your webpack.config.js
:
module.exports = {
// ...
module: {
loaders: [
{
test: /\.js$/,
loader: 'string-replace',
query: {
multiple: [
{ search: 'jQuery', replace: 'window.$' },
{ search: '_', replace: 'window.lodash' }
]
}
}
]
}
}
