Webpack loader to translate .proto definitions to ProtoBuf.js modules
npm install protobufjs-loader-webpack4

This allows you to use the light or minimal ProtoBuf.js distributions
without an explicit compile step in your build pipeline.
`` sh`
npm install --save-dev protobufjs-loader-webpack4
` javascript
// webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
...
module: {
rules: [{
test: /\.proto$/,
use: {
loader: 'protobufjs-loader',
options: {
/* controls the "target" flag to pbjs - true for
* json-module, false for static-module.
* default: false
*/
json: true,
/* import paths provided to pbjs.
* default: webpack import paths (i.e. config.resolve.modules)
*/
paths: ['/path/to/definitions'],
/* additional command line arguments passed to
* pbjs, see https://github.com/dcodeIO/ProtoBuf.js/#pbjs-for-javascript
* for a list of what's available.
* default: []
*/
pbjsArgs: ['--no-encode']
}
}
}]
}
};
`
` javascript
// myModule.js
/* replaces e.g.:
*
* const protobuf = require('protobufjs/light');
* const jsonDescriptor = require('json!my/compiled/protobuf.js');
* const Root = protobuf.Root.fromJSON(jsonDescriptor);
*/
const Root = require('my/protobuf.proto');
