When I configure Webpack for this code base, Webpack complains that it Can't resolve 'babel-loader'
. What exactly is failing, and how can I ask Webpack what its complaint is?
The Webpack configuration:
// webpack.config.js
const path = require('path');
const webpack = require('webpack');
module.exports = {
entry: './source/main.jsx',
output: {
path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist'),
filename: 'app.js',
},
resolve: {
modules: [
path.resolve(__dirname, 'source'),
'/usr/share/javascript',
'/usr/lib/nodejs',
],
},
module: {
loaders: [
// Transform JSX with React.
{
test: /\.jsx$/,
loader: 'babel-loader',
query: {
presets: ['es2015', 'react'],
},
},
],
},
};
The entry module:
// source/main.jsx
"use strict";
import Application from './components/Application';
const applicationElement = <Application />;
ReactDOM.render(
applicationElement,
document.getElementById('application'),
);
Is the problem something like a search path, and if so why can't the error tell me what setting I need to correct?
The babel-loader
module is definitely installed. (I therefore don't want to install it again – so npm install
won't help – I am trying to tell Webpack to use it from the already-installed location.) Its package definition is at /usr/lib/nodejs/babel-loader/package.json
.
I've pointed Webpack's resolver there – instead of its default resolver behaviour – using the resolve.modules
list of search paths. Correct?
So the resolver should be able to find it there by the specified search path /usr/lib/nodejs
and the name babel-loader
, no?
(This raises a separate question, about how to convince Webpack to just tell me what it's looking for so it can be diagnosed more easily.)
How can I tell Webpack the specific location it should use to resolve that babel-loader
name ?
I think that the webpack.config
you're looking for is the following:
module: {
loaders: [
{test: /\.js$/, include: path.join(__dirname, 'src'), loaders: ['babel']},
]
}
Hope helps :)
The Webpack configuration setting resolve
is for modules that are imported. The loaders are resolved differently; the resolveLoader
setting configures how to resolve the loaders specifically.
So, adding resolveLoader
to the Webpack configuration works:
// webpack.config.js
const path = require('path');
const webpack = require('webpack');
module.exports = {
entry: './source/main.jsx',
output: {
path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist'),
filename: 'app.js',
},
resolve: {
// Configure how Webpack finds modules imported with `import`.
modules: [
path.resolve(__dirname, 'source'),
'/usr/share/javascript',
'/usr/lib/nodejs',
],
},
resolveLoader: {
// Configure how Webpack finds `loader` modules.
modules: [
'/usr/lib/nodejs',
],
},
module: {
loaders: [
// Transform JSX with React.
{
test: /\.jsx$/,
loader: 'babel-loader',
query: {
presets: ['es2015', 'react'],
},
},
],
},
};
