Discussion: Add html-loader to base config?

I think the html-loader is universal enough to add to the base config.

Thoughts?

Right, this is a pretty common loader. But it also brings a bunch of additional transitive dependencies (see its package.json), thus taking a bit more time to npm install.

Guess I will just post a poll on twitter!

Here is the poll 😉

Awesome!

I could see it going either way. Since I usually use webpack for angular apps, the html-loader is a no brainer... Not sure if that need extends to react/vuejs development.

Perhaps it could become a new block? It could be dead simple. Just the html loader.

Sure. Let's consider the new block is plan B :)

Hmm. The poll suggests creating a block for it, but due to a really bad timing (NYE) participation was extremely bad.

I guess we should nevertheless just create new block. We could also create an Angular2 preset, for example :)
