OpenFlights loader

A Webpack loader for OpenFlights-formatted data

Summary

This Webpack loader allows you to load OpenFlights formatted data.

It is not produced by OpenFlights - check them out here and here!

Add loader to your Webpack config.

webpack.config.js:

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /airports.dat$/i,
        loader: 'openflights-loader',
      },
    ],
  },
}

Import and use. You can download data from here.

import airports from './airports.dat'

console.log(airports[0].name)

If using TypeScript, you may add the following declaration for typed imports:

declare module '*/airports.dat' {
  import { Airport } from 'openflights-loader'

  const _default: Airport[]
  export default _default
}

Note: This has been developed to suit my needs but additional use cases and contributions are very welcome.
