Better dojo/text! loader replacement for JSON files about dojo-webpack-plugin HOT 7 CLOSED

        // Note on handling JSON files
        //
        // webpack handles load of JSON files on it's own and trying to use the
        // raw-loader provided by default by the dojo webpack plugin causes
        // issues. So we need to just rip the loader part out entirely so that
        // webpack can just handle it on it's own.
        //
        // Of course there is also an issue where webpack will try to load these
        // json files as js objects. Which causes our code to error out when we
        // call JSON.parse on the object. So to force webpack to load these as a
        // JSON string we need to specify the module rule to force it to use the
        // raw-loader with the esModule option set to false (I don't entirely
        // understand why we need the esModule false setting. We don't need that
        // for other file types like svg, but if we leave it out then we end up
        // getting a module object instead of a JSON string.). Ideally we would
        // be able to set the loader within the NormalModuleReplacementPlugin by
        // just specifying '!!raw-loader?{"esModule":false}!' but for some
        // reason it isn't picking up the esModule option for me when I do that.
        //
