Edge Platform FE Meta Template loader for webpack

# edge-fe-meta-loader for Webpack

[JS-YAML](https://github.com/nodeca/js-yaml) loader for webpack.

## Installation

`npm install edge-fe-meta-loader`

## Usage

[Webpack documentation on using loaders.](https://webpack.js.org/concepts/loaders/#using-loaders)

Using the loader inline:

``` javascript
import doc from 'edge-fe-meta-loader!./file.yml';
// => returns a javascript object. see https://github.com/nodeca/js-yaml
```

Or using the loader via Webpack configuration (recommended):

``` javascript
// webpack.config.js
module: {
  rules: [{
    test: /\.mt\.ya?ml$/,
    use: 'edge-fe-meta-loader',
  }]
}
```

In contrast, this loader loads YAML files as JavaScript objects using the
[un-eval](https://github.com/tiansh/un_eval.js) library. This allows YAML value
types otherwise disallowed in JSON such as `Infinity`, `RegExp`, `Function`,
etc. [See js-yaml's supported YAML types](https://github.com/nodeca/js-yaml#supported-yaml-types)
