[Packager] Require plain text/other files

See original GitHub issue

Is there someone to load files from the project that are not js/json/jsx? My specific use case is to allow users to write glsl shaders and require (or some way include) them like const shaderText = require('./myFragShader.frag'); - but it would also be good to be able to load other files, such as plain-text files, too.

I guess “require” is not the correct method for this, but it would be good to somehow load a file like this. Perhaps it could just be a browserify transform, but I’m just wondering if there any nice way to do it now?

This functionality would also be useful for including html within a WebView.
