No, it only add this file as a dependency of the file that is loaded via the loader. That means that each change in the dependent file, webpack will re-build the module that the dependency was added to.
This is like a "watch" on the dependent file.

When you say "module", do you mean the file that was passed into the loader? Or something else (e.g every file that the loader loads or something similar). – Foobar Jun 24 '20 at 01:41

Module is a webpack terminology, it is the file that passed to the loader. – felixmosh Jun 24 '20 at 04:07
