js-inline-loader
A webpack loader than enables inlining functions from other modules
Usage
Create a node module as you would normally do:
{ return a: '1' b: '2';} { ...}
Then inline the functions instead of calling them, using the %inline
macro:
{ // Inline the return statement of a function const definitions = %; ... // Inline the function body %; ...}
The webpack loader will automagically expand the contents of the function you are in-lining in the location of the inline macro.
Installation
First install the node module:
npm install --save-dev js-inline-loader
Then install it as a preloader on webpack:
module: preLoaders: test: /.js$/ exclude: /node_modules/ loader: 'js-inline-loader'
Caveats
The loader will parse the javascript AST of the refered module and identify all the functions exported by it. However not all expressions are yet supported. Below you can see what is currently supported:
Will NOT work
The loader will not detect exported functions that were previously imported by other modules.
; moduleexports = otherFunction
Works
You can use the classic ES6 export syntax:
// As an exported function { ...} // As a static function on the default classclass static { ... }
Or the regular CommonJs syntax:
// Function definition { } // Or function expression assigned to a variablevar { } // Make sure to export your functionsmoduleexports = exportedFunction exportedFunction2 // You can also define functions in the object you export { ... };
