Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 84,738 PointsWhy do we use ‘loaders’ differently here?
From video at 1:15, in webpack.config.js we have this file:
module.exports = {
entry: './app.js',
output: {
// path: 'build',
filename: 'bundle.js'
},
module: {
loaders: [
{
test: /\.js$/,
exclude: /node_modules/,
loaders: ['react-hot', 'babel-loader']
},
{
test: /\.css$/,
loader: 'style-loader!css-loader'
}
]
},
};
On line 14 we put in multiple loaders with an array:
loaders: ['react-hot', 'babel-loader'].
On line 18 we put in multiple loaders with a string and values separated by an exclamation point:
loader: 'style-loader!css-loader'
Why do we do it differently?

Treehouse Guest TeacherBrandon, the two usages actually accomplish the same thing. I personally prefer:
loaders: ['loader1', 'loader2', 'loadern']Hope that helps.
