Confused about index.js

I did so, due to the way i understood how loaders in Webpack are expected to work, and i opted for the most convenient way for developers (i hope).

You can't pass in a directory as the context for a loader, it has to be a file. And i simply wanted a loader that reconstructs a DirectoryStructure to the i18next ResourceStore object. So that, when adding a file or language, i will have it directly available in the application. No mapping, no nothing.

The empty index.js is just to point to the "start directory" where your language files are located. From the dir of the index.js the loader assumes that every folder in this dir is a language, and every filename underneath a language is a namespace. So your good to go.

Furthermore i thought the index.js file could function as a config object if needed. But so far it stayed empty.

Do you know a way to pass in a direcotry as the loaders context?

I'm pretty new to Webpack so I'm not sure if there's a way to use directories.

Thanks for the explanation.
