Webpack - Include File Multiple Times

I want to include a file twice through two different loaders. The reasoning is I want to display code snippets in ES6 while allowing them to be run in browsers not supporting the s

Solution 1:

const multi = require('multi-loader');
const combineLoaders = require('webpack-combine-loaders');

module: {
  loaders: [
    {
      test: /\.(js|jsx)$/,
      exclude: /node_modules/,
      include: /app\/examples/,
      loader: multi(combineLoaders([
        { loader: 'file-loader' },
        { loader: 'babel-loader' },
      ]))
    },
  ]
}

This should do the trick. you have to also use combineLoaders as you have to use options object. inside combine loaders array you can pass loader configuration also.

Solution 2:

I couldn't manage to handle this with loaders in the end - although with further reading I don't believe this was the correct approach anyway. Instead i'm now using copy-webpack-plugin to copy the files -

plugins: [
  new CopyWebpackPlugin([ {
    from: path.join(rootDir, 'app', 'examples'),
    to: path.join(outputDir, 'examples')
  }])
],
module: {
  rules: [
    {
      test: /\.(js|jsx)$/,
      exclude: /node_modules/,
      loader: "babel-loader"
    }
  ]
}
