A fork of promise-loader with needless call to return a promise
Usage
This is a ripoff of bundle-loader that uses promises instead of callbacks.
It only implements so-called lazy bundle-loader mode—that is, require returns a function that, when invoked, returns a promise that resolves to the module.
require: (string) -> Promise<module>
It's up to you to specify your Promise library of choice as a parameter.
// Assuming you use Bluebird
var load = require("then?bluebird!./file.js");
// load is a promise, and is resolved when file.js loaded
load.then(function(file) {
});If a promise library is already loaded externally you can specify 'global'.
You can optionally specify a name for your chunk after a comma:
var load = require("then?bluebird,editor!./editor.js");This can be useful for single-page apps because you can later extract filenames from Webpack-generated stats and pre-load specific bundles if you know user's going to hit them.
The bundle name may include [filename], which will be replaced with the filename, and [name], which omits the extension. This is useful for when you want to configure loaders in Webpack configuration without specifying precise filenames—for example, by a suffix:
{
test: /\.i18n\.json$/,
loader: 'then?global,[name].i18n'
