A webpack loader that returns an empty module.
One use for this loader is to silence modules imported by a dependency. Say, for example, your project relies on an ES6 library that imports a polyfill you don't need, so removing it will cause no loss in functionality.
To begin, you'll need to install null-loader
:
$ npm install null-loader --save-dev
Then add the loader to your webpack
config. For example:
// webpack.config.js const path = require('path'); module.exports = { module: { rules: [ { // Test for a polyfill (or any file) and it won't be included in your // bundle test: path.resolve(__dirname, 'node_modules/library/polyfill.js'), use: 'null-loader', }, ], }, };
And run webpack
via your preferred method.
