buffer-loader

library0.1.0jsnpmunverified

A webpack loader that returns the content of a file as a Node.js Buffer. This package is at version 0.1.0, compatible with Node >=5.10 and webpack. It is adapted from binary-loader and provides a simple way to import binary files as Buffer objects in webpack bundles. It does not appear to have been updated since its initial release, and it is not widely used. Alternative loaders like raw-loader or file-loader may be more modern and maintained. It only works with CommonJS imports and is not compatible with ESM.

Verified usage

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

default

✓ const content = require('buffer-loader!./file.bin');

✗ import content from 'buffer-loader!./file.bin';

Webpack loaders are typically used with CommonJS require. ESM import may not work depending on webpack configuration.

Configures webpack to use buffer-loader for .bin files, then imports a binary file as a Buffer.

// webpack.config.js module.exports = { module: { rules: [ { test: /\.bin$/, use: 'buffer-loader' } ] } }; // In a module const fileContent = require('buffer-loader!./file.bin'); console.log(fileContent); // <Buffer ...>

Debug

Known issues

gotchabuffer-loader is not compatible with ESM imports directly; use CommonJS require with the loader prefix.

fix

Use const content = require('buffer-loader!./file.bin'); instead of import.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchabuffer-loader may not work with webpack 4+ if not configured properly; it is an older loader.

fix

Consider using raw-loader for newer webpack versions: { test: /\.bin$/, use: 'raw-loader' }.

affects: >=0.0.0
