binary-loader

library0.0.1jsnpmunverified

A webpack loader that returns a file's content as a binary string. Adapted from raw-loader. Version 0.0.1, no recent updates. Key differentiators: allows importing binary files as strings without base64 encoding. No active maintenance, use raw-loader or file-loader with encoding options instead.

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

default

✓ require('binary!./file.bin')

✗ import content from 'binary!./file.bin'

Webpack loaders use require syntax; ESM import may work depending on webpack version but not officially supported.

loader function

✓ module.exports = function(content) {}

✗ export default function(content) {}

Loaders are CommonJS modules; ESM export is not supported.

Shows how to configure webpack to use binary-loader for .bin files and import them as binary strings.

// webpack.config.js module.exports = { module: { rules: [ { test: /\.bin$/, use: 'binary-loader' } ] } }; // app.js var binaryData = require('./file.bin'); console.log(binaryData); // binary string of file content

Consider using raw-loader or file-loader for proper binary handling.
