⚠ Heads up! This module has been deprecated. Have a look at isomorphic-ensure and use raw-loader directly.

node-raw

Make webpack’s raw-loader work in node and iojs.

And that almost for free. The whole thing weighs around 300 bytes minzipped.

Installation

$ npm install node-raw

Usage

1. Shim require.

const grab = require('node-raw')(require, {dirname: __dirname});

1. Profit!

// Require modules as you did normally.
const Rx = grab('rx');
 
// Require text files with *raw-loader*. That’ll now work in node as well!
const readme = grab('raw!./Readme.md');

1. Hot tip!

This works well with node-ensure:

if (!grab.ensure) grab.ensure = require('node-ensure');

Caveats

I’m having some weird problems with requiring files directly from node_modules (like in grab('raw!node-raw/Readme.md)). For relative files everything works like a charm and can be considered stable.
