webpack loader breaking on newer webpack versions

[Traviskn]

Hi John! 👋

I ran into an error cannot read property 'noParse' of undefined after upgrading to webpack 3. It seems that this.options.module is now undefined 😢 . Looking over the docs on webpack loaders (https://webpack.js.org/contribute/writing-a-loader/) it seems they discourage accessing the options directly, and they even go so far as to say that options is read-only.

I was able to get things working by explicitly adding the noParse rule to my config:

noParse: /i18nliner\/dist\/lib\/i18nliner/,

and creating a simpler version of your webpack loader that doesn't set the noParse config anymore:

const I18nliner = require('i18nliner').default;
const hasTranslatableText = require('react-i18nliner/hasTranslatableText')(I18nliner.config);
const preprocess = require('react-i18nliner/preprocess');

module.exports = function i18nloader(source) {
  this.cacheable();

  if (hasTranslatableText(source)) {
    return preprocess(source, I18nliner.config);
  }
  return source;
};

I'm not sure if there's still a way to automatically set the noParse config from within the loader.
