Missing file extensions are breaking webpack-dev-middleware

[scott-cornwell]

Doing hot reload of node server that runs webpack-dev-middleware. It depends on mime and in the index.js of mime it imports some json files in types with no extension. If I add the .json extension it works. Can these be added please?

Nevermind, it was my fault, I just needed to add .json to my webpack resolve.extensions.

When using this module with an Angular CLI project, I got this error:

ERROR in ./node_modules/mime/index.js
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve './types/other' in '/www/mime-type-ng/node_modules/mime'
ERROR in ./node_modules/mime/index.js
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve './types/standard' in '/www/mime-type-ng/node_modules/mime'

In Angular CLI project you cannot edit the webpack configuration to resolve .json extensions.
Is it possible to change this line:
module.exports = new Mime(require('./types/standard'), require('./types/other'));
to this:
module.exports = new Mime(require('./types/standard.json'), require('./types/other.json'));

@marlon360, then that's an issue with Angular or your Angular config.

The CommonJS spec explicitly says module identifiers should not include an extension. And in Node.js the json extension is optional, just like the js extension.

Ah, thanks @broofa, for a moment I thought this was an issue with mime. I've fixed my webpack 👍

If you don't want to or not able to edit the Webpack configuration, you can install my wrapper: https://github.com/marlon360/mime-wrapper
