Does this work with online scripts? about script-loader HOT 5 CLOSED

I found this: webpack/webpack#150

My use case is that a previous library at work (a very big one) is written entirely in AMD format for RequireJS, and one files does

define([
  'async!//maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false&libraries=geometry'
  ], function () {
  return google.maps;
});

I don't want to modify any of the libs at all. I was hoping script-loader would do that trick (I know, it's not the normal webpack usage, but it would be handy sometimes), and that I could alias async! to script!, or perhaps just clone script-loader, and publish it as async-loader with it's prefix name changed.

webpack doesn't handle script loading. Use an separate library for this. i. e. https://github.com/ded/script.js/

@sokra Thanks for the advice! I'm trying to avoid modifying the library, which is all AMD modules, and has some modules that load externals in this manner (using the requirejs async plugin). It'd be nice if webpack could bundle a handler that would fetch things in the browser for these types of cases. The problem is if I modify the way the library works, I might have to go and modify dozens of other code bases that depend on it, which I want to avoid. If webpack would work with this scenario without having to modify the library that'd be great!

I think I might be able to work around this by blacklisting the above example file in externals, then just loading it before the bundle, then AMD files depending on the above file would just get passed the external. I'll try that tomorrow.

Closing since I think that will work, plus it's not part of webpack spec for webpack to load files like that anyway.

Hi @trusktr, did you manage to solve this issue? I'm having a similar one.
Thank you.

take a look at externals. You can define a script in your html, and tell webpack that you have done so.
