How can you compile angular templates with webpack?

Question

The idea is to have 1 JS file out of all html files. and after just to use it via require:

templateUrl: require('./views/user-list.html')

Could you share you experience please? I was googling for it and found several loaders for webpack but not sure what to use.

Answer 1

I decided to use ng-cache loader for webpack together with ES2015 syntax: it means import from instead of require.

Part of my webpack config:

module: {
    loaders: [
      { test: /\.js$/, loader: 'babel', include: APP },
      { test: /\.html$/, loader: 'ng-cache?prefix=[dir]/[dir]' },
    ]
  },

and example of directive with template:

import avatarTemplate from './views/avatar.html';

const avatar = function() {
  return {
    restrict: 'E',
    replace: true,
    scope: {
      user: '='
    },
    template: avatarTemplate
  }
};

export default avatar;

Answer 2

your answer is right. However just offering alternative for it:

const avatar = function() {
  return {
    restrict: 'E',
    replace: true,
    scope: {
      user: '='
    },
    template: require("../path/to/file.html"),
  }
};

export default avatar;
