[question] how to use the new asset modules with inline requires like you could with raw loader about raw-loader

[alexander-akait]

No docs, because we want to be as close as possible to browser and Node.js ESM spec, and inline syntax is never work in browsers or Node.js, it will be possible in future with assert imports, but now we don't want to create new non ESM syntax, so please use webpack.config.js, sorry, in long term inline syntax should be fully removed, because it was a big mistake

[alexander-akait]

I hope we can introduce new ES modules features in near future and will be fully compatibility with Node.js/browsers/etc targets

[spence-s]

Sure, I can add that 👍🏻

[spence-s]

Thank you - I will be phasing out my usage of them then.

[alexander-akait]

You can track assert here webpack/webpack#11917

@spence-s Anyway I think I found solution:

import txt from './file.txt?raw';

and put in webpack.config.js:

{
  // Maybe test need provided too
  type: "asset/source",
  resourceQuery: /raw/
}

Should work

[alexander-akait]

ES modules compatibility + the same approach without extra configurations

@alexander-akait thank you for this! Good stuff!

@spence-s I think we need docs it https://webpack.js.org/guides/asset-modules/ , do you want to help?
