The raw-loader is a simple webpack loader that allows you to import raw content of files as strings directly into your JavaScript or TypeScript modules. Useful for embedding shader code, HTML templates, or any textual data within your application. It simplifies handling static assets by treating them as module dependencies. Configure webpack to use raw-loader for specific file types via the module.rules section of your webpack configuration. This eliminates complex file system operations within your code.
Raw-loader downloads show significant growth from February to July 2024, stabilizing around 14-15 million until January 2025. Downloads remained relatively stable until May 2025 before a notable jump in June. August 2025 downloads are significantly lower but incomplete.
The npm package raw-loader experienced irregular releases. Initial activity was high in 2012, with several releases. After a few releases between 2013 and 2014, there was a long period of inactivity until 2018. Releases picked up again in 2018-2020 and since then, there have been no new releases. The most recent releases were in October 2020.
