js-loader

library0.1.1jsnpmunverified

js-loader is a concatenator, minifier, and dependency resolver for client-side JavaScript, designed for use in Node.js environments. The current version (0.1.1) is a legacy utility that resolves CommonJS-style dependency trees and bundles them for the browser. It has been unmaintained since 2011 and is deprecated in favor of modern bundlers like webpack, Rollup, or esbuild. Key features include on-the-fly dependency resolution and minification via uglify-js. This package is not suitable for modern workflows and may have security vulnerabilities in its dependencies.

Verified usage

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

jsLoader

✓ const jsLoader = require('js-loader');

✗ import jsLoader from 'js-loader';

The package is CommonJS-only and does not support ESM imports.

resolveDependencies

✓ const { resolveDependencies } = require('js-loader');

✗ import { resolveDependencies } from 'js-loader';

The package does not export named symbols; you must destructure from the default export.

Demonstrates loading a JavaScript entry point and bundling its dependencies into a single minified string.

const jsLoader = require('js-loader'); const path = require('path'); const entry = path.join(__dirname, 'lib', 'main.js'); jsLoader.load(entry, function(err, bundle) { if (err) throw err; console.log(bundle); // bundled and minified JavaScript });
