Description:

Do you plan to support webpack exports loader (https://github.com/webpack-contrib/exports-loader) ?

This could solve some issues with old js library loadings. In my case, i need to import bootstrap 4 alpha 6 modules in dist flavour (to work around es6 minification issues in src flavour ), and - as far as i can see - the only way would be to use exports loader so that local vairables would be exported.

I’m ok with that, thanks for your answer 😃

Btw, i don’t need to use exports-loader syntax in my imports if i define them in autoload. Giving the same example:

import 'bootstrap/js/dist/util';
import 'bootstrap/js/dist/tooltip';

One more thing: what about adding such an example in the autoload documentation ?

@JeffreyWay Nothing at all 😃

But as you add a kind of abstraction layer over webpack’s ProvidePlugin on Api.js autoload function, i wonder if you plan to extend its functionnalities to avoid ugly things like

mix
    ...
    .autoload({
        ...
        'exports-loader?Util!bootstrap/js/dist/util': ['Util'],
        'exports-loader?Tooltip!bootstrap/js/dist/tooltip': ['Tooltip']
    })
