webpack can't find module if file named jsx

Question

As I write webpack.config.js like this

module.exports = {
  entry: \'./index.jsx\',
  output: {
    filename: \'bundle.js\'
  },
  module: {
    loaders: [{         


        

Answer 1

Adding to the above answer,

The resolve property is where you have to add all the file types you are using in your application.

Suppose you want to use .jsx or .es6 files; you can happily include them here and webpack will resolve them:

resolve: {
  extensions: ["", ".js", ".jsx", ".es6"]
}

If you add the extensions in the resolve property, you can remove them from the import statement:

import Hello from './hello'; // Extensions removed
import World from './world';

Other scenarios like if you want coffee script to be detected you should configure your test property as well like:

// webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
  entry: './main.js',
  output: {
    filename: 'bundle.js'       
  },
  module: {
    loaders: [
      { test: /\.coffee$/, loader: 'coffee-loader' },
      {
        test: /\.js$/,
        loader: 'babel-loader',
        query: {
          presets: ['es2015', 'react']
        }
      }
    ]
  },
  resolve: {
    // you can now require('file') instead of require('file.coffee')
    extensions: ['', '.js', '.json', '.coffee'] 
  }
};
