Webpack SSI loader

This is a very simple implementation of SSI to be used with as a webpack loader in development mode.

Currently only the block and include directives are supported:

<!--# block name="shush" --><!--# endblock -->

<!--# include virtual="/includes/new/pre/async" stub="shush" -->

Inside your webpack.dev.config.js file just add the reference to ssi-loader:

// webpack.dev.config.js
 
module: {
      rules: [
      {
        test: /\.html?$/,
        use: [
          {
            loader: 'html-loader' // Used to output as html
          },
          {
            loader: 'ssi-loader',
            options: {
              locations: {
                "^/includes": "https://www.uswitch.com",
                "^/widgets": "https://www.uswitch.com"
              }
            }
          }
        ]
      }

This will replace all SSI directives with the actual include content. The ssi-loader only handles the server side includes, in order to return a valid webpack source you can use the html-loader like shown in the previous example.
