Anyone know the difference between the raw loader vs url loader in webpack? does the url loader do the same as raw, except falls back to file-loader at a certain file size?

raw loader loads the text in the file where it is required, where as url-loader fixed the url paths in the file that it loads. they are way different – harishr Nov 08 '16 at 08:54

url-loader
Loads the images you load via url(./some-asset.jpg) in your css files, converts them to base64 and places them instead of the url() statement.
raw-loader
Loads the file as string, it doesn't convert the images to base64, and is used more for text or css files.

Depends on the use case, for example - it's great for loading templates – Shai Reznik - HiRez.io Feb 09 '17 at 23:35
