! NO LONGER MAINTAINED !

This module is deprecated and will no longer be maintained.

It has a known issue of generating non-deterministic hashes (see #49, #56, #60). Do not use it.

In most cases, you can replace the functionality by using raw-loader instead:

- import('script-loader!someScript.js')
+ import('raw-loader!someScript.js').then(rawModule => eval.call(null, rawModule.default))

If you need some transformations to be applied to the script you want to load, you may need to find or write yourself a separate loader for that. Some documentation that might be helpful:

• https://webpack.js.org/loaders/
• https://webpack.js.org/concepts/loaders/
