import-x/no-webpack-loader-syntax

Forbid Webpack loader syntax in imports.

Webpack allows specifying the loaders to use in the import source string using a special syntax like this:

var moduleWithOneLoader = require('my-loader!./my-awesome-module')

This syntax is non-standard, so it couples the code to Webpack. The recommended way to specify Webpack loader configuration is in a Webpack configuration file.

Rule Details

Fail

import myModule from 'my-loader!my-module'
import theme from 'style!css!./theme.css'

var myModule = require('my-loader!./my-module')
var theme = require('style!css!./theme.css')

Pass

import myModule from 'my-module'
import theme from './theme.css'

var myModule = require('my-module')
var theme = require('./theme.css')

When Not To Use It

If you have a project that doesn't use Webpack you can safely disable this rule.
