Source assets in webpack

Let's try source assets now. Let's make it so that the contents of text files go into a variable when imported:

export default {
	entry: './src/index.js',
	output: {
		filename: 'bundle.js',
		path: path.resolve('dist'),
	},
	module: {
		rules: [
			{
				test: /\.txt$/,
				type: 'asset/source',
			}
		]
	},
	plugins: [
		new HtmlWebpackPlugin(),
	],
};

Let's make a text file:

abcde

Let's connect this file to the entry point:

import text from './text.txt';

The variable text will contain the contents of the text file:

console.log(text); // will bring out 'abcde'

Connect several text files to the entry point. Get their contents into variables.
