one instance of the plugin about babel-plugin-webpack-loaders

[istarkov]

Can you provide Example - what the need of allChunks options?

The only issue I know in current instance per module solution is I need to combine css manually as like here https://github.com/istarkov/react-components-markdown/blob/master/package.json#L9

cat *.css > combined.css

Please explain what the problem with allChunks: true? (I don't understand this option)

I can't use single webpack instance, please read comment here https://github.com/istarkov/babel-plugin-webpack-loaders/blob/master/src/runWebPackSync.js#L16

(It's possible to use single instance with fibers and like library - as at this fork https://github.com/morlay/babel-plugin-webpack-loaders-inline-exports but I prefer not to use such hacks)

I created webpack loader and plugin translate-maker-loader for locales (i18n).
The functionality is very similar to css modules.
The main idea is to combine files like

locale/en_US.js

export default {
  next: 'Next',
  onlyInEnglish: 'Only in english',
}

and

locale/sk_SK.js

export default {
  next: 'Dalej',
  onlyInSlovak: 'Only in slovak',
}

into the file via your plugin (example of the loader output)

module.exports = {
  moduleName__next: {
    next: 'moduleName__next'
  }
};

but at the end I need to extract and combine multiple language files via plugin and I am not able to use simple en_US.js > /final/en_US.js because I have something like this:

/final/en_US.js

module.exports = {
    moduleName__next: {
      next: 'Next',
      onlyInEnglish: 'Only in english',
      onlyInSlovak: 'Only in slovak'
    }
}

I am storing all data from the loader into the plugin during the process.
And it is not possible in this moment because I will always get locale only for the current module.

Looks like it's impossible without some outer process store for loaders data with current solution.
Imho you can do this combine as some post step as like as with css above. Because I can't use single webpack instance because of sync-async problems.

I moved my plugin into the config file for the client(browser) bundle. There is the Webpack as "singleton".
Maybe you can write about this into the documentation too. Anyway thank you for the fast response.

[istarkov]

The problem with documentation that documentation does not exists for this project ;-)
All documentation is How it works + examples + tests + issues now

indead :)
