webpack - Webpack 中的规则与加载器 - 有什么区别？

Question

在一些 Webpack 示例中，您会看到对“rules”数组的引用:

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.scss$/,
        use: ExtractTextPlugin.extract({
          fallback: 'style-loader',
          //resolve-url-loader may be chained before sass-loader if necessary
          use: ['css-loader', 'sass-loader']
        })
      }
    ]
  },
  plugins: [
    new ExtractTextPlugin('style.css')
    //if you want to pass in options, you can do so:
    //new ExtractTextPlugin({
    //  filename: 'style.css'
    //})
  ]
}

另外，还有一个加载器数组:

var ExtractTextPlugin = require("extract-text-webpack-plugin");
module.exports = {
    module: {
        loaders: [
            {
                test: /\.css$/,
                loader: ExtractTextPlugin.extract({
                    loader: "css-loader"
                })
            },
            { test: /\.png$/, loader: "file-loader" }
        ]
    },
    plugins: [
        new ExtractTextPlugin({
            filename: "style.css",
            allChunks: true
        })
    ]
};

有什么区别？应该使用哪个？

Answer 1

Loaders 用于 Webpack 1
规则用于Webpack 2+

根据migrating docs在官方 Webpack 站点。

module.loaders is now module.rules

The old loader configuration was superseded by a more powerful rules system, which allows configuration of loaders and more. For compatibility reasons, the old module.loaders syntax is still valid and the old names are parsed. The new naming conventions are easier to understand and are a good reason to upgrade the configuration to using module.rules.

Delta 示例

  module: {
-   loaders: [
+   rules: [
      {
        test: /\.css$/,
-       loaders: [
-         "style-loader",
-         "css-loader?modules=true"
+       use: [
+         {
+           loader: "style-loader"
+         },
+         {
+           loader: "css-loader",
+           options: {
+             modules: true
+           }
+         }
        ]
      },
      {
        test: /\.jsx$/,
        loader: "babel-loader", // Do not use "use" here
        options: {
          // ...
        }
      }
    ]
  }
