ignore-right-side-loader

What's the use of it?

Generally, our resources is processed by the common loaders which at webpack's configuration files (such as webpack.config.js), but in some cases, there are some special resources which don't need to be processed by the common loaders, but use special loaders . This loader is used to ignore common loaders and providing raw resources.

Which loaders can be ignored?

well,the "right side loader" will be ignored.who are the "right side loader"? for example,in require("a-loader!b-loader!ignore-right-side-loader!c-loader!d-loader!resource") ,the "c-loader","d-loader" are the "right side loader" and they're will be ignored.so the above code equate to require("a-loader!b-loader!resource")

But I don't think anyone will use it like that. So please look at the following:

webpack.config.js

...
  rules:[{
    test:/\.txt$/,
    use:[
      "a-loader",
      "b-loader",
      "c-loader",
      "d-loader",
    ]
  }]
...

test.js

 require("e-loader!f-loader!test.txt")

now,the order of processing for "test.txt" is: test.txt => d-loader => c-loader => b-loader => a-loader => f-loader => e-loader => target

but we only want that the "test.txt" be processed by "e-loader" and "f-loader",ignore the common loaders ("a-loader","b-loader","c-loader","d-loader"),so we will use the ignore-right-side-loader:

 require("e-loader!f-loader!ignore-right-side-loader!test.txt")

Now,the "test.txt" be processed only by "f-loader" and "e-loader".

Well done!
