<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Dear Scott and Aron,<br><br></div>thank you for your answers. I was indeed using an older version of Webpack, but I already upgraded to the newest version. Unfortunately I keep getting errors when I try to read the JSON file. To this I have to add that although I have been using vtk for quite a long time now, I am completely new to javascript. <br><br>If I understood correctly with webpack 2 I do not need to add anything to the webpack.config.js to be able to read json files in the index.js. Is this right? However, I try to read the json file with the following command in index.js:<br><br><pre><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span class="gmail-pl-k">const</span> <span class="gmail-pl-c1">json</span> <span class="gmail-pl-k">=</span> <span class="gmail-pl-c1">require</span>(<span class="gmail-pl-s"><span class="gmail-pl-pds">'</span>./file.json<span class="gmail-pl-pds">'</span></span>);</span><br><br></pre><pre><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">apart of that line of code I didnt write anything else related to the json file. I got the following error:<br><br>ERROR in ./src/file.json<br>Module build failed: SyntaxError: Unexpected token / in JSON at position 146<br> at Object.parse (native)<br> at Object.module.exports (D:\VTK-JS\node_modules\json-loader\index.js:4:<br>49)<br> @ ./src/index.js 285:13-35<br> @ ./src/index.js<br> @ multi (webpack)-dev-server/client?<a href="http://localhost:8080">http://localhost:8080</a> ./src/index.js<br>webpack: Failed to compile.<br><br></font></pre><pre><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Thank you very much!!!<br></font></pre><pre><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Cristina<br></font></pre><pre><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br></font></pre></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jul 21, 2017 at 5:50 PM, Scott Wittenburg <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:scott.wittenburg@kitware.com" target="_blank">scott.wittenburg@kitware.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hi Cristina,<div><br></div><div>In vtk.js we now use webpack2 (in master at least, you may have picked an older version though), and the webpack2 documentation states that you no longer need a loader for json:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://webpack.js.org/guides/migrating/#json-loader-is-not-required-anymore" target="_blank">https://webpack.js.org/guides/<wbr>migrating/#json-loader-is-not-<wbr>required-anymore</a><br></div><div><br></div><div>Is your project also using webpack2?
